This is a very important game, as it is a rare opportunity against a Top 25 team that we can match up with physically. They have one good low post scorer and Bond can guard him. We should help Bond some, but doubling off of their shooters can be deadly. Bond has to play 35 minutes or more for us to win, so we can't let him get in early foul trouble. Our perimeter defense has been o.k., but Dunham, Lewis and Jones will provide a huge test.
With Miami and Utah and their All-League centers on the other side of the bracket, IMO today is our best chance to get a badly needed 2nd win in this tournament. I think Miami is Sweet 16 good or better, and Utah has a huge and skilled front line.
