This. Few teams will have the depth we do. You can mitigate Edey’s impact by running them into the ground. I don’t care how well Edey is conditioned, a 7’4” center is going to get exhausted if he is forced to run up and down the court. Play fast, run him down, and maybe he is less effective later in the game.

And attack him. I think you gotta get him in foul trouble.

Also two interesting game to watch tonight would be:

6:00pm Wisconsin @ Providence
8:00pm #13 Texas A&M @ SMU

Not a ranked matchup, but interesting to see how good Wisconsin is against a decent team on the road led by Kim English with Davonte Gaines still on the team.

Another 2-0 Texas A&M road test against 3-0 BJ Edwards and Rob Lanier.

Well Providence beat Wisconsin handily and Colgate is whooping Syracuse right now. Not the best for our SOS but doesn’t really matter as long as we keep winning.

Providence on the road is not going to be a bad loss for Wisconsin. I still think the Badgers figure it out eventually but either way that is still going to be a Q1 win for us which is all that matters really.

My only expectation for next week is to beat Syracuse and then compete well. As long as we don’t lay a giant egg against a BAD Syracuse team I won’t complain about how things end up, even if 1-2 would be a disappointment.

This is completely reasonable but I will be irrationally sad for a few days if we don’t win at least 2

That’s me as well but I’m trying to contain my emotion since I let some losses affect me a little too much last year. I think this team is very good and should go 2-1. I also think 3-0 is very possible. But I’m just reminding myself that 5 of the 8 teams in the field are currently Top 12 teams and we likely won’t see a stretch of competition like that again till March.

Still…..hope we go at least 2-1as that will really do a lot for our resume and further support the idea that this team is the real deal.
