Crean and the team. Forget about UK and/or Stanford. This Warrior squad can play with them or just about any other team in the field, IF they are both loose and intense.
Can't start off with your sphincter muscles spasming. In the past, TC's teams have come out of the gate seemingly timid, afraid to make a mistake, or just waiting to feel the opponent out. Simply can't do that especially in tournament basketball or you will dig yourself too big of a hole. Have to take each possession to the opponent and dictate tempo from the beginning.
Exactly. We need to come out playing like we did at the end of the ND game in South Bend. Just come out and shock the opposing team with relentless pressure and get them back on their heels. I hate to reference UWM, but that's what they did a few years back when they made the Sweet 16 and beat Alabama and Boston College.
Agreed.
If we even HESITATE to score early on, it's giving UK the green light to go buckwild on us.
I want them to be aggressive from the tip and cram it down the throats of those Cats! I DO NOT want another MSU repeat!
