I can't say enough about how important it will be for these two to batten down the hatches inside against Sabonis. Ever since we lost Bryant inexplicably to Indiana and Crean the clown of all people, as well as Diagne, I worried that our season would end against a team with a formidable big man who will roast us in the paint. This is the challenge the team faces tonight. All I can think about is what unknown Bradley Hayes of Gtown did to us a few months ago. He scored 20 on us, then 1 point against Monmouth.

Sabonis has torched Seton Hall and Utah. He will get his tonight. What I worry about most is the attention he draws which could free up shooters. Gonzaga will attack on the short corners. I think that could be our weak spot tonight. GMac has also acknowledged this so hopefully this has been sufficiently addressed and prepared for. Coleman snagged a quick foul against MTS and was yanked for Lydon I believe less than a min into the game. JB yanked him right there which was an excellent move. We will need all 10 of Lydon and Coleman's fouls. Can't wait for the game. Normally I will travel to see the team but duties have me relegated to staying in Cuse. Can't wait til tonight!
 
We have to use the fouls intelligently though - I like that in the last 2 games Lydon has done a better job picking his spots going after people. Sometimes giving up a hoop is a better option than taking a foul.

I think that is important for mike too as a few times this year he has given away an early foul.
