Texas Predictions...

Heart is saying we win 77-76.

Head is saying tough game and we lose pretty handily. Like 15+ points.

Yeah I’m hoping that everything is backwards because it’s a new team they step up big with a tough opponent but my head is saying the same. I worry and gut feeling is this is gonna be ugly by halftime :(. Their star freshman is putting up huge numbers and the likely defensive matchup against him is Bell….
 
I'm gonna go with djcon and say we win by 40. Red has been purposefully hiding Naheem and the zone.

Chance
JJ
Donnie
Eddie
Naheem

Full court press for 40 mins into a 2-3 zone. JJ shoots 63% from the field for 44 points. Donnie posters the whole team all night. Chance puts up a quadruple double. Eddie with a triple double (with blocks).

We win by 40
 
I think this is similar to our game vs. Oklahoma State at Barclay's in 2019.
We lose by 15. Or... more.

I think we see less Bell and more Jyare if the trend continues
 
Any chance in this one we need this supposed good shooting team to hit like 14-25 from deep.

I think it comes down to whether SU can limit Tre Johnson, who is far and away their most dangerous player. Every single game he's shooting 60% from three, and scoring 25 points.

They also have an undersized big man named Arthur Kaluma who we had an interest in at one time, a long time ago. He's averaging around 14 and 7 as their best big, a sort of combo forward.

Beyond those 2 guys, yes, they are a good solid team, but stop those two guys, and we can be in this game.

Shooters need to shoot. Can not bench Bell, we need him or Moore to be another scorer. Guys slump then they catch fire. Hope he is on fire on Thursday.
