Dealing with Gates Mon

[SoBeCuse]

I am not as excited as before about watching the game at Fifth Third Mon. Cooley was able to get EASY position under the basket. Keita and Rak are light and are not bangers. Gates is bigger and better than Cooley. What is the defensive strategy for Mon? Also, Joseph's dribbling bullshit is NOT going to work at UC. He turned it over against some average guys today and let that Croatian exchange student pick his pocket. UC is MUCH better defensively with the athletes to negate penetration. I worry about Joseph really hurting us Mon.

Position is key. Cooley got down inside easily all night which provided easy opportunities to score and to be in position for OReb's. If they let Gates establish position as easily, we'll have just as many issues...
