Noticed while watching their open practice clips on Facebook that no matter what, the second team sprinted the ball the other way, make or miss. Clearly we're preparing to make them play in the halfcourt.

Rebound. We don't need to out-rebound them. Just can't get destroyed on the boards.

Stay out of foul trouble. Depth isn't really an issue in these games given the length of timeouts and halftime.

Score. By score I mean that we have an advantage of playing in a cavernous dome. They don't.  If both teams have trouble shooting due to the "legend of NRG stadium", that probably benefits them given their inside advantage. We need to shoot better than them from outside.  We should have a built in advantage there, not to mention, we just plain have better shooters than they do.

Cooney/Roberson. Keep doing what you're doing.  As role players, they've been fantastic this postseason and both traditionally play well against Carolina.

Lydon/Richardson. Stay growing up. These guys are not afraid of the big stage and are showing why they're skyrocketing up draft boards. They are no longer freshman.

G. This is your time. One of my fav players ever at Cuse. He's had a somewhat lackluster tournament. This is his time and I feel like he is due for a takeover game.  Let's hope he has 2 games like that left in the holster.

Howard/Coleman. Just give us solid minutes.

In the end. I'm bullish on this team. We are really talented despite how that mess of a regular season played out.  If you take out foul trouble and size (you obviously can't), I'll take our Top 5 vs anyone else's Top 5 left in the tournament.  Let's hope our talent is able to shine, because we have a lot of it.
