Who guards Josh Jackson?

Briscoe will likely get the assignment.
I have zero confidence it will go well.

The question becomes how do you make him least effective?
If we use Briscoe he'll post him up or shoot over him.
If we use Gabriel/Willis it will be drive to the goal.
It's really pick your poison. Hope we can contain him.

UK doesn't guard anyone OP. We are just going to pray we outscore them and that Monk is hitting his shots.
Stay in front, make him shoot from the outside. His game is going to the hoop where he either gets a basket or a foul, and that sets his outside game up.
********!!! This has been blown waaaayyy out of proportion.
That changes today!!
Yeah you never know. I just feel our strategy in March is going to be to just hope we can score 85-90 4 games in a row (from Sweet 16 on) and hold the other team to 80 or less.
I'd rather Jackson shoot than drive. He can't shoot like UNC's Jackson. Briscoe isn't ideal but he will probably stay in front of him better than anyone else.

It's actually not.
Willis has never, is not, and will never be a good defensive player.
The other day Cal basically said as much and just wants Derek hitting shots and rebounding.
We have nobody to stop Jackson. Hope he's not making shots or at least don't let anyone else go off cause he gets his.
Oh, I know he's not a good defensive player, but he's not that much worse than anyone else on the team. It's just blown out of proportion.
Hopefully he picks up 2 quick fouls each half, and the bench gets to guard him the majority of the time.
I think Gabriel starts on him, because of his size. Briscoe will be on him some. Willis will be on Mykhailiuk when he comes in.
Jackson is a mean person. Any 3 with any talent usually eat us up. The same with the 1 guys we play. Jackson and Mason versus Briscoe and Fox is a scary situation. Maybe we can out score them.
