1. Keep Momcilovic (sp?) from going Steph Curry on us from three point gaga land.

AT ALL COSTS

(I've seen Iowa State several times this year.... they are very good when they are hot, must control tempo and keep them controlled, keep them from getting hot )

Considering the quick turnaround, hopefully , someone from the staff already scouted Iowa St. I hope it was the correct staff since in many of our games we look lost from get go , while some we look prepared.

we are the underdogs big times. i Would say: take care of mismatches….and stay with the productive players on both ends of the floor.

have a good short discussion with players that played great to stay focus, and with those that did not play so hot, show them that you believe in them and that this next game they should shine.

Couldn't watch Iowa State, so I can't add much in terms of strategy.

After a win like today, that energy should carry over. I think we surprise some people and win this one. Again, just a gut feeling.

They turn people over a ton and crush people on the glass, and of course hit shots.

Biggest thing will be to win 2 of those areas.

Just DO NOT turn the ball over (like our game on the road against ARKY), and battle/win on the glass (like the efforts in the first 2 FL games) or hit a ton of shots.

Our best bet is the first 2:

9 or fewer TOs
Win the battle on the glass

I’m hopeful they used up a lot of their bullets. Usually when you score over 100 points, it’s hard to replicate that energy next game
