Keys to an MU win
*Strong interior defense on McRoberts and Thomas
*Good perimeter D on Scheyer (his range is anywhere past half-court, no joke)
*Tight D on DeMarcus, no 3 balls
*Limit Paulus and his dribble penetration...need to be physical with him
*Force Duke into an up-tempo game, with constant rotation @ the point (love how we had 4-5 different guys pushing the ball against TT)
*MAKE our FREE THROWS!!!
*Don't settle for the 3...drive the lane and make things happen
*Controlled offense...Even though we played a great game last night, the Big 3 still had a collective 13 turnovers...I know that with this new up-tempo offense, turnovers are expected...however, if we're going to win tonight we need to minimize them.
*Use all our available bigs...keep the rotation on and keep the legs fresh
*If possible, try and establish an inside offensive presence early. I like seeing Lott or Barro get a couple hoops down low (really helped their confidence, and might open things up a little more from downtown)
*Need Hayward to get involved in the offense, and not from behind the line. Might be best for him to wait for the game to come to him a little bit.
*1 ridiculous dunk from Trend
Let's go get 'em!
