Tennessee Game Thread

Going to be a tough game. Who will guard Knecht? Baylor would seem to match up best in terms of size.

This is a great question and one of the keys to the game, keeping Knecht (first team AA) under control. Baylor seems like the obvious choice to me but working that hard on defense can sometimes take away from offense as well as the concern of getting into foul trouble.

Miller’s defense this year has improved dramatically over last year. Could Miller’s length and jumping ability slow Knecht?

Of course, Green might help too.

In a Bello, Ashworth, Alexander lineup, could Trey slide over. Trey is long but giving up 2 inches.

Given that we won 87-73 vs Akron and 86-73 vs Oregon, it naturally follows we will win 85-73 vs Tennessee.

Lock it in.

If we score 85 against Tennessee, we are going to win the whole damn thing

In addition to the Primer linked above, here's a notebook from media day courtesy of WBR's Matt DeMarinis who's on press row in Detroit. He's got thoughts on the two team's paths to get here, quotes from the Jays on what's ahead, and more:

I thought CU was going to lose until this bulletin-board material showed up on Twitter. The disrespect! The audacity! The Jays lacked the appropriate motivation to win this game...until NOW.

Creighton 85
Tennessee 73

I think that was done just for fun, but this is part of the reason I love the Jays....they bring notoriety to the city of Omaha. It is crazy how so many people know nothing about Omaha, even though it is one of the best mid-sized cities in the entire country. I tell people all the time, it a small area where you can travel relatively quickly, but still has many of the big city amenities that you see in major cities (18,000 seat arena, 24,000 seat baseball stadium, Orpheum theater, Baxter arena, Steelhouse, Holland Center, 2-600 ft buildings, and soon to be streetcar.

Most people are completely surprised when they come b/c they didn't expect any of that and are completely blown away.
