Yeah, OSU is good defensively, but I think our balance and depth will help offset their strength. The fact that UD can get scoring from six or seven players, will help in terms of shorter preparation situations...which might apply more to if we win and play again on Saturday, but I tend to think the high caliber of our balance will shock some OSU players. Too much defensive focus on Sibert, Oliver, and VSanford, leaves clubs vulnerable to Pierre and company. When we have two or three freshman in the game, OSU will be shocked at how competitively deep UD is.

We need to be able to rebound, run, and get transition baskets . Don't think we can win in a slower half court game .

Florida scores and wins with defense. They hold their opponents to less than 40% shooting and 58 points per game. Ave winning margin is 13 points. What am I missing here?
