Early Cavalier Talk

[hart2chesson]

Well I guess the Wahoo fans will have their brooms out hoping for sweep Wednesday nite. I was just pondering this game, and thinking NO EXCUSES!!

Last time we were coming off the high of a Cheaters blowout. K noted such and the quick turnaround in his post-game presser after the loss:"One day is not enough to prepare for Virginia." Two extra days to prep this time, and the REVENGE MOTIVE should bend the needle to the max! I will be disappointed if we're not ready to play, and frankly expect us to win!!

OFC

P.S.- K-VILLE just lock this thread down when you do your prognostication.

I actually look forward to another tight game with Virginia pulling out a win.

They are going to double team Paolo( however if his passing game is on big Mark should have a field day down low ) and really would like to see more ball movement and less one on one ball.

Contain Clark and we win by 20. Maybe don't jump like lunatics at every shot fake 30 feet from the basket??

Hahahaha, that is so true. The announcers on Saturday night said the same thing against Florida St. They said that Mark Williams jumps at any shot fake at the 3 point line.

OMG, that drives me absolutely nuts. You're 7 feet tall Mark. Just stay on the ground and put your hands up when your 25 feet from the rim.

Stop the guard penetration by cutting back on the pressure 25 ft away from the basket.
I wonder if we will see the zone defense earlier? Don’t settle for 3 pt shots but work the ball inside and get UVA’s bigs with early fouls.

Post Clark up and force him to guard our bigger guards on the block. Other than Roach, Moore and Keels have at least 7-8" on him. Try and get him in foul trouble...As they say, cut the head off the snake

Good opportunity for a quality win.

Right "Only!" Al McGuire used to say that!

I can hear his staccato delivery saying " cut off the head, and the body must die ". This is what a coach lives for. Duke has all the answers for this game. Nothing more fun than correcting your mistakes
