They have played a really solid schedule, been blown out by the better teams, have a couple solid wins. We need to be ready from the tip and play 40 minutes. Cats favored by 6, over / under 160. Cats can't just show up and expect to win, it will be a game for a while, hopefully, a nice double digit win, 88-74 is my prediction. Mobley (53.57%) can stroke it, he actually shoots it better than Brea (53.12%) from 3. Mobley has hit 4 less 3's than Brea, both are from New York.

Bradshaw is back with the team in NYC, but Meechie Johnson is still out supposedly. They lost Glover earlier this year too so they only have a couple of guards on the roster.

Mobley has been really good this year, especially for a freshman.

Apparently another very physical team, so hopefully we actually exhibit that we've learned something from these last few physical teams.
