That's how they get Curry hot, they find him in transition and after offensive rebounds - not just in set plays when there's a man guarding him. <BR/><BR/>So we're going to have to take better care of the ball.<BR/><BR/>Of course, we wouldn't want 18 turnovers against anyone in the Elite 8.<BR/><BR/>As Yancy pointed out to me in a text last night - 3 Elite Eights in 5 years.

That and take a little better care of the ball--18 turnovers is all right against 'Nova, apparently, but I doubt that the same would be true against Davidson.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12280053661380045494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23024323.post-12908778361321075002008-03-29T12:04:00.000-05:002008-03-29T12:04:00.000-05:00I like your recurring motif of depressed mascots. ...I like your recurring motif of depressed mascots. <BR/><BR/>So much for Michigan State, huh? I can't believe you guys dispatched them more easily than KU did 'Nova.<BR/><BR/>The KU game was interesting; it seemed like we were brilliant for about 15 minutes and then went into conservative mode for the rest of the game -- who would have thought Case would log so many minutes? Surely Self must have been already looking ahead to Curry -- our guards should have fresh legs for Sunday, and they're gonna need 'em.<BR/><BR/>So, not too exciting, but maybe a good strategy to just sort of phone it in for the second half. It was pretty clear from the beginning that the Cats weren't in our league. <BR/><BR/>(The Big 12, that is -- only conference w/ two Elite 8 teams. Woo-hoo!)<BR/><BR/>Davidson has me a little nervous, on the other hand, but at this stage of the tourney there's no escaping it -- you've got to "beat the best to be the best."<BR/><BR/>Onward and upward.DGLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254846037455114337noreply@blogger.com
