Hopefully the team does not suffer a let down after the Duke game.  Looking for back to back 30 point outing from Harkless.

more importantly, Harrison needs to be productive from beginning to end.  mo will be consistent throughout the game and will end up with 20+.  Harrison is streaky.  he'll be hot for a couple of minutes, then disappear.  need consistent steady output from Harrison all game long.

It would be nice to get Gift going. This is a team that he should be able to score on.

Phil Greene the future; unstoppable scorer,  dead-eye outside shooter and better all-around player than Paris Horne returns to his hometown, Chi-town.

It'ld be nice if he has a good game in front of friends and family.

If Moe does that Lenn will write a piece saying he goes Top 3

Depaul is 2-6. We need this one. It's time for all 7 guys to contribute. Still, I'm looking to Gift to establish himself inside. No more of this dribbling from of the key. Post up big fella.

Need one of the "other 4" ... Dom, Amir, Phil, or Gift to become a third option offensively.    If we can get +25pts combined from these 4, then I think we win.

I am sure that Dom's family will make the trip as well from Detroit but hopefully Greene plays like he has the past few games. We have played well when he has played well.

I think they press a lot but revert to a 3-2 zone defense to mix things up.

I think lately, our success has been due to Phil and Amir improving. GG is the guy who needs to step it up. He is playing like the speed of the D1 game is too much for him to follow. Jucos often need a year to adjust, and it appears this is his.

Definitely agree that Gift looks like the game is moving a little fast for him.   Offensively he needs to let it come to him.  There are easy buckets during the course of the game for him if he could just catch the ball cleanly.

His jump shot isn't bad. He needs to take the 10 foot jumper and stop trying to take everyone off the dribble in the half court. It simply doesn't work. I wouldn't mind him putting it on the floor, if it wasn't completely obvious as what was happening next. He is way too predictable.

F yea. I want to see them start playing like they did with 10 minutes to go against Duke.
It's okay to press this team for periods. If you pressure them just a little, they'll screw up enough.

That's a understatement.   He's played poorly

We should win this game but there are no easy wins for this team on the road in Big East play. If we win, great but if not, its just another valuable learning experience for our bunch of young pups.

Agreed, but this team has to show they can win on the road and that they can beat the teams they should beat.  Depaul is sloppy and they don't rebound the ball well.  The kids need to step on Depaul's throat tonight.

Winning at Cincy doesn't count?
