AH will provide one by tomorrow, so please stop inundating my inbox requesting my analysis. One nugget in advance: We should shoot less threes. That should get the ball rolling.

I know you are a basketball aficionado, but UC may be the toughest team we play all year to try and pound inside. Better play a good inside out game with us able to hit a few threes. Would love to see a hi low post game with various combinations of Carter, Tyrique, , Zach, and Dontarious . Doing all this spreading the floor. Then the inside may open up to our liking. Lastly I can see several minutes of a UC press as they know our vulnerability to T/O’s. .....just my take, Biggernlife

UC is a donut team. Jones and Freemantle should have their way. If the Cumberlands don’t have a great game X will win easily. Even if they do, they will only make it closer.

Not to be a negative-Ned, but Kyzrex - did you watch the Green Bay game.......? You are one of the many posters I enjoy reading so no offense meant here. I would love to be optimistic. Being rational though we are often a train wreck on offense. If Naji or Paul do not carry us, I see us struggling to score tomorrow. Sure our D should keep UC around or under 65, but can we top 65..? Usually some role player excels in this game, let's hope that player is sporting the "X".

They can't let Vogt have his way inside. He's big enough that you almost have to double team him down low, and he passes and finishes much better than i thought. Kid's made a ton of progress from where he was a couple years ago as i saw him play in the summer and he doesn't look like the same player.

X just came off 2 games where they scored 87 and 84 points. I’ve watched every UC game this year and truthfully they are NOT a good defensive team. X should have no problem scoring and Vogt is to slow to control any of the X low post players. The only thing that could keep them scoring lots of points would be to have every player have a bad shooting night, even then I think that X will control the offensive boards enough to make up for that. X certainly didn’t shoot week against GB, but 18 OFFENSIVE rebounds made up for that.

One of my main concerns is that we do not go after it for 40 mins, which is what is needed in a rivalry game. Also, I can remember a game the last few years where our core four all have good games at the same time.

Hope he gets himself together and settles on a school....maybe Dayton or Weight State? Would guess that he’s worn out his welcome at most majors
