If we win it won't be pretty. Stallings is gonna run some plays and I'm pretty sure we are gonna have to nut up, we need Tim to get back into form and hopefully Keith is feeling it. I think we only have one advantage in this game and that's Ben simmons, so hopefully he balls out.

This reminds me of when LSU was a double digit dog at Florida early last season and ran them out of the gym.

LSU may cover but I don't see them winning. Just not LSU's year. Good Luck to the Tigers though.

That was an impressive statement game last year. I'd love to see a repeat of that tonight.

It was a nice win. We had a lot of careless turnovers and general sloppiness but showed some resolve in gutting it out.

Bottom line is can Johnny, or one of the players even, get this team to commit to intense and energetic basketball for 40 minutes. To this point no one has been able to get all of our kids to commit to that.

Jones is going to be a tough matchup for us, and if we go zone they have the shooters to embarrass us.

I'd love to see some more pressing and trapping than we have done to this point. Force some aggression and maybe we get some easy buckets off the chaos.

They're already missing Luke cornet and if Ben will get aggressive and attack the rim he will foul Jones out he is very foul prone.Jordan mickey kept him in foul trouble every time they matched up

That's a good thing, he was reportedly much improved.

I just hope he gets into foul trouble before he can get Victor into foul trouble.

Of they put Jones on Ben I would have to say that's a dumb coaching move imo

Perhaps he was hoping he could draw fouls on Jones on help D. Because yeah, he won't be guarding Ben.
