1. Our guards must drive to the rim to (a) take advantage of their size advantage over Indiana's midget guards, and maybe (b) get some fouls on Zeller.
2. We must avoid early fouls on our bigs. I really am expecting, but hope not to see, 2 fouls each on Rak and Baye in the first 5 minutes of the game. I think Zeller is going to get the benefit of calls in a huge way. We've got to keep our bigs on the floor, and keep Zeller from shooting 15 or 20 foul shots. I expect to see Coleman in the first half, due to foul trouble. I hope not, but that's what I'm preparing myself for mentally, and hope like hell we can avoid.
