Drive the lane at the giant. Make him move his feet. Play good perimeter D on their guards. Do that and we will win easily.

I would like to think our athleticism will totally overwhelm University Central Florida.

I am much more concerned with their 3 point shooter than the giant.

I am not sure Tacko can guard on defense? He can't come out more than 8 feet from the basket and if he does he isn't quick enough to get back in when we drive. Should be interesting to watch.

Going to be interesting if we can manage with 6 (really 5) against UCF if Foster is out

Taylor and Williams make the offense go. Tacko is their defense.

My opinion on D is not to double team Tacko and allow them to get good 3 point looks. I will give up a few inside baskets to prevent the 3's. On O we'll take it right at Tacko with Ben and Semi and he will be in fowl trouble quickly or they'll double down and we'll kick it out for the 3 ball.

Haven't watched a lot of UCF but from what I have seen they let him float in the middle of the paint on defense and press their guards on opponents on the perimeter hoping that Tako will cover for any dribble penetration they give up. That has been effective against mediocre perimeter players but ineffective against good guards and athletic interior players.

Drive and kick all day. If we are hitting we'll kill them. If we have a bad shooting night it will be a battle.
