what do you say? I think the playbook is out the window at this point and cals going with the hot hand.
Will cal use briscoe to guard Jackson again??
- Thread starter GOING FOR #9
- Start date
I think you're correct, like this game you will definitely see some changes especially since they have pinson this time around.
Dom wont be able to contain Jackson, he will post him nonstop.
This is my biggest concern against UNC - who guards JJ?
Who ya gonna call? ghostbusters? If JJ is a concern, just let him go and shut the rest of the TarHeels down. He ain't no Fox or Monk.
JJ is my main concern because we dont have a true 3 to guard him at 6'8...
However, Berry is most likely the key. But I liked our guard defense vs UCLA.
If ya read toilet paper. UK playing the best team ball right now more than anyone. and they don't even look good doing it. UNC is Toast. (Probably burnt toast)
He's too good to stop with any one of our guys. Anybody that's put on him will be dealing with some kind of mismatch so it's gonna take cohesive team D. The good news is this team has finally found their stride on D. Nevertheless it's gonna be a monumental task trying to slow him down. They have the same issue with Fox.
The Cats can probably withstand a career best night from him (in that case: calling Mr. Monk) but they can't let Berry, Pinson etc go off. I know it's been said a thousand times but it has to be miss and done, can't let them pound the boards, they will kill us on second chance points if they are given the opportunity.
Should be, once again, a great game. I'm stoked for the rematch. Lets keep this train rolling Cats!

I hope so. I hate rematches in the tourney with teams we already beat.
UCLA has 6'6 Ball, Alford 6'3 at guards, Leaf 6'10 forward, Hamilton 6'6, and Welsh 6'10 center UNC has Berry 6'0 guard, Pinson 6'5 guard Jackson 6'8, forward, Meeks 6'10. The two teams are similar in height and play a lot a like on offense.Our defense has been at its best over the last month or so. We just need to continue to play tough on defense against UNC. Both early games this year with UCLA and UNC and our defense was horrible in both. Defense was awesome tonight and we won by double digits. We do the same on defense Sunday vs. UNC and we will be fine.
