Keys To Victory Over KU

[LawVol13]

1.) GET THE BALL TO CHISM. -- Chism must be dominant. He must decisively outplay Aldrich for us to win this thing. Something to the tune of 20 pts and 10 rebs should suffice.

2.) Control Collins' Dribble Penetration: This is going to be key. Obviously he is going to score some on Maze, but he can't go off for another career high like last year by simply abusing Bobby Maze off the bounce.

3.) Guard the Ball Screens: Last year was the most pathetic defense against a ball screen offense I had ever seen at the college level that allowed KU to have about 6 or 7 alley-oop dunks. I believe Chism will hedge well on the ball screens, but I worry about Hall and Woolridge.

4.) Defensive Rebounding: We have to keep them off the glass. Keeping them from scoring out of their offense will be hard enough without second chance points.

5.) Finally, win all the 50-50 balls: We must outhustle KU in this game to get a W.

I envy everyone getting to see this thing live. I would love to be there, but I'll be on my way back to law school. Be loud guys and Go VOLS!!

I wont argue with that. Hell maybe our student section might decide to show up....

Hedging off screens has been a big problem on the perimeter it seems like, hence why we give up all the 3's to teams like Wyoming. I say if we get Aldrich in foul trouble in the first half, then our chances of winning improve drastically

I would include Hopson must break even with Henry for us to have a hope.

All KU players come down with the flu before the game.

 

[VolNC2316]

Tennessee will have to play great defense and not go for long periods of time without field goals....

its going to be ugly.

#1 Chism needs to stay out of foul trouble.\play great game
#2 Hopson or Skyler needs to hit some 3s
#3 Maze needs to be aggressive and take care of the ball
#4 Kansas needs to miss some shots

theres not a weakness on this jayhawks roster. aldrich has been down some but thats due to selfs system mostly. on the champ. team brandon rush ending up being the leading scorer at just over 13 points a game. 6 or 7 guys ending up averaging at least 9 points. the morris twins are now all conference type power forwards. henry is one and done, i feel he is the most complete freshman in the country. collins is the best leader ont the country. if its close, you guys have no chance- he is as clutch as it gets and always takes the big shots. and tyshon taylor will run circles around bobby maze.

We are almost 7 deep on the bench and have a great coach. Ut is shorthanded, with no proven player outside of chism, and hes best as the third option.

Kansas should win going away, but if somehow UT pulls it out i will congratulate u guys then get back to Tennessee football recruiting. go vols but go ku today
