At least it didn't start out with, "Does anyone else have a bad feeling about tonight's game?"
 
When we played the Friar's, who aren't so deep (couldn't resist) in the first half they took anywhere between 25-30 seconds off the clock before attempting a shot. Amazingly enough, the shot they'd take ended up a high percentage one and not a fling. I kept thinking JB was keeping a card up his sleeve by not showing the press. I thought his rationale was that we weren't behind and let's not give them a chance to make any adjustments at halftime.
 
In the second half we stretched the lead thus negating the need to press and Providence was forced to shoot sooner in the clock than in the first half in order to try and catch up.
 
That being said, How did they score 90 points on Louisville who usually plays tough in your face defense? I missed that game and am too lazy to look it up. Did Pitino have the troops press early thus forcing the tempo and did Providence handle it with ease. If that is the case then maybe JB won't be too anxious to employ that strategy this evening should we need it.
