Guards HAVE to be good in this game, most notably Epps. The NW guards are old, experienced and are the key to their whole operation. I've never been big on Boo, but he's having a great year. Epps has the be solid on both ends of the court. That is going through be such a key matchup.
Audige could play and start on just about any team in the country. Guessing TSJ gets that assignment? If we can limit their backcourt and make it a transition game....we win. If they slow it down and it becomes a game of possessions, that'll be trouble. Their guards flat out execute late in games, while we've struggled.
Who would have thought back in November that the game vs NW would carry this much weight? Wow!
