Seems to undervalue Nova's scoring inside the 3 point line. I hope OK does too.
I do think that Nova will go after Lattin and OK will go after Daniel. DO needs to stay
out of foul trouble. Lattin is generally is a non factor scoring wise. Make him make shots don't
put him on the line. The Spangler v. KJ match up may be a bigger factor tho. KJ has to play
smart. If he draws Spangler out side he may be able to draw fouls by going around him. Josh should have an advantage too on offense.
I've watched tape of OK's losses to KU and WVU. Most recently, in the B12 Championship, WVU's Miles, face guarded Hield and neutralized him. WVU won a close game. Miles did not come off Hield on screens. He never came off Hield to provide help on anyone else either. Hield couldn't drift to open spots. Miles also over played Hield to his right most of the time to take away his step back jumper. When Hield put the ball on the floor WVU brought help. Hield did not get to the rim. He forced passes back out to the perimeter and committed several turnover trying to. One caveat: Hield had played the day before and scored 39 pts. in the semi finals of the B12 Tourny. He said his legs were fine but who knows?
