Depaul Round Deux

Balamou went 2-10 with 5 points and 4 personal fouls in a 20-point win where we shot about 80% other than him.

This guy has to be trolling us.

Chris' uncertainty is all apart of the chess match between Lavs and Purnell, creating new defensive schemes and the different lineups Depaul will have to now prepare.

Let's be honest though, we need Chris in the paint all night with the likes of Tommy Hamilton, Robinson, and Stimage coming at us. Amar and CJ are going to see extended minutes bc of this tandem.

Mike Henry creates mismatches for us, I think that we might have to put Dom on him all night. He's very nifty in the post and has deceptive rebounding instincts for someone only 6'5.

The two teams combined athleticism is going to make for some high intensity defense, I expect a grudge match tomorrow night, but also think we will have a nice home court advantage and a rowdy crowd to boot.

Dee and Sheed must stay hot, and hopefully Phil's jumper is on point bc when he is on fire at Carnesecca we are very hard to beat. Containing Billy Garrett and keeping him from penetrating the lane is vital.

Checkers would be a stretch.

C'mon there's gamesmanship here. Granted Dee's injuries and Sheed's immaturities lead to our January demise, but bottom line is that our opponents' blueprints had our number for about four weeks. Suddenly within the past 7-10 days, Dee looks like his pep is back, Sheed is averaging 19-4-4 while shooting 50% from 3 and the field, and we dominated a team that previously beat us with a brand new scheme that fell out of the sky. The goal is to offset Robinson, Stimage, Hamilton, and Henry for atleast the first couple of stanzas, and let our guards go to work inside of their gym. I like it.

Desco, my man, we're the first team out of the tournament as of tonight. A victory Wednesday night and a huge win at Xavier would firmly put us off the bubble for the next 2 weeks. Lavs is about to make the NCAA 2/5 years, postseason 4/5 years, 20 win seasons 3/5 years, and sign another top10 recruiting class. I can't wait to revisit with you this April after our BET and Tourney runs.

No

Is there any strategy or boardgame you would pick Lavin to beat another Big East coach at?
monopoly? candy land? Hungry hippos?
