I know people will continue with the way too soon discussion about playing UNC, but I thought I would share my very confident thoughts on the game we know is in front of us.
I feel incredibly confident in this game, and think we actually match up with them really, REALLY well. Kansas was able to play a really difficult to crack man defense that jammed up our shooters, took away all our passing lanes, and forced us into one on one scoring. I don't think OK has the personnel to do that to us, particularly with the way Ochefu and Jenkins have progressed. We should really get a lot of good shots. OK also has no depth, so that will come into play as well.
On defense, I think we will NOT put all our focus on doing Buddy, but instead make sure Cousins and Woodard are not able to get great looks. Our match up zone should get plenty of use again to keep them out of the lane, and Bridges will no doubt again be a factor.
We learned from our first OK game two big things...limit our own offensive rebounding to ensure solid transition defense, and get good shots...Not first shots.
Everyone is already picking OK, but I think we end up winning BIG.
