I really think we are a matchup problem for them.  Here is why.
 
They run a 4 out and 1 in offense.  Sometimes in the Vandy game they actually had all 5 guys outside the arc.  They live and die by the 3 and that is what they will continue to do.  They have a couple of bigs that are capable of making 3 point shots however they are not as talented as past Wisky big men.  They really do not pose a threat to us inside and do not have teh Jack Cooley/Yancey Gates type of player who has hurt us in games this season.
 
Vandy played them mostly man and that hurt them because it drew their big away from the basket and they had issues giving up key offensive rebounds in the second half.  Our zone will be a challenge for them because we will not have to bring our bigs out to guard.  We just need to do a good job of contesting their shooters.  They also take very good care of the ball and we will have a hard time forcing a lot of turnovers.
 
One stat that is important to look at is FG%.  Wisky is not a good shooting team as they shoot 42% from the field.  Vandy shot almost 47% from the floor.  This is one reason I was rooting for Bo's boys last night,
 
I think we will be able to once again take the ball to the basket against this team but will certainly need to make shots.  Jordan Taylor can be phenomenal and he can be very average.  I am hoping our guards make him look average.
