By far the most important thing tonight is to come away with a win. And this is a game we definitely should win if we play hard the whole game.
That said, I’d like to beat pants off them with a great team effort. This is a very good opportunity to get right offensively. Per Kenpom, they’re number 158 defensively - way worse than most teams we play. Big ten has 11 teams in top 40 and several among those are stellar defenses. Nebraska and NW have by far the two worst Ds in the league. This is a perfect game to work out kinks, get good looks for Giorgi and Kofi inside, get Trent and AG open 3s, and maybe get another guy going offensively (Damonte, Tevian). Nebraska is undersized. We need to get the ball inside to Kofi and Giorgi in good position and get them good looks or have them kick back out to open shooters. With Kofi, the inside out game is critical to our offensive success, and there’s no better game than this one to try to get it going. we should also own Nebraska on the boards.
