According to CDM
“One thing you can’t do is go to the NCAA Tournament and try to be somebody you’re not,” said Monson. “We’re not going to hold the ball so we only get beat by 20 instead of 30. We’re going to play and try to be the aggressor. We’re not going to run with them but we’re going to try and find opportunities on the open floor because that’s where we’re the best.”
I hope on defense we get in front of ballhandlers, take a few charges, stuff like that. Bother them all game but nothing too aggressive. Throw in a backcourt trap here or there see how it goes. We are good with transitions from active defensive rebounding, this is where we can let it all hang out.
At times this will be a track meet and I'm concerned about Tsohonis, but we have little chance to be competitive without him having a big game. Tall order for Marcus. Hope his groin injury is better and he's got some wheels today.
Somehow I hope the bench guys each get time on the court, even 30 seconds. You know they will if its a blowout. But it would be nice to mix in guys in the first half just in case its close and we need the closers on the court a lot in the 2nd half.
I've got this Beach team going to the Elite 8. CDM seems to lead a charmed life, and bookending his Gonzage run with this one would be unbelievable. I know the chances are close to NIL but who cares, GO BEACH!!!
