WOO-HOOOOOOO!!! SOOOOO FIRED UP!!!

Absolutely can't wait for tip-off!!![/size]

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!

And I thought this would be tough.

Hey buddy, I don't want just a 2-3 point win.....I want a blow out!

[Mayor McCheese]

if we do everything you say we are going to kill them... I think just controlling their guards will allow us to win, their big men will score, its the guards we can't let torch us

I like the way you think.  In an earlier post I said that if this game's a blowout, we're going to be the one's to do it.

Duke so needs to get blown out!  Wouldn't feel bad about that at all, look how many times they've run up the score.  I say, if we're up by 20 with 3 minutes left, we leave our starters in and BURY 'EM!!!
