I don't think so.  We pick and choose our spots to run [hence, all of the threads recently about our transition game], and Ennis is really a master of not only handling the press but imposing his preferred tempo on the game.  I think JB is going to make a conscientious effort to play Gbinije more this game--primarily due to his size / ability to close out on their small shooters.  So I would expect Ennis / Cooney to get spelled when and where JB can afford to get them down.  We need Cooney to have his shooting legs on Saturday, but he's also going to have do do a better job defensively than he's done the last few games [my opinion only, but he's been slow to rotate on several three point attempts the last two games, with the net result being open looks from three for the opponent].

This reminds me a lot of the Indiana game last year, with Watford as Rodney Hood and Parker as Oladipo, and a bunch of smaller guards.

To moqui's point above--if they get it rolling from three, that is very bad for us.  But they are susceptible inside, and we have to keep them off of the boards--can't let them do what they did to Pitt last night.

We'll be ready to play these guys--no doubt in my mind.
