Assuming they get lots of points in transition, might be best to do what we can to slow this game down. Passive traps by a couple guards in the backcourt to slow down ball handlers. Station the other 3 near the FT line. If we can get them into a half court grinder, they have to run an offense and maybe they aren't as proficient at that. Its a pick your poison, but if we get into a track meet, it'll be fun but could lead to a blowout loss. If we can somehow dictate a grinder, not as fun but the score should be closer at the end.
Should be high scoring. Can we produce more than them? Not likely but should be fun to watch.
Playing in the Pac12, against generally better athletes than are normally seen in the BW, Arizona is AVERAGING 87 PPG. This is one potent offense. For LB, we have not been particularly good at holding teams below their season averages. In a way, the matchup reminds me of the one against Tenn. in Reynold's last year. We want to play fast, and are matched up against one of the best teams in the NCAA at playing fast.
