I like this matchup. Campbell was was terrible in the first game and Simmons was still turning the ball over. This is not the same team. If Ohio shows up and plays a descent game we should advance. That means keep the turnovers under 10, 70% from FT line and break even on the boards and don't give up a bunch of 2nd chance points.
Ohio will have to play more than a descent game to advance past the semi's though. One game at a time!!! See you in the Q Thursday night Bobcat fans!
But in the NI loss Jarron had 0 turnovers. Bobcats had only 4 total. We lost because of defense and shooting and rebounding. Biggest difference was Tony having 6 points and 3 rebounds and playing only 13 minutes before fouling out. And except for Jarron (7-14) and Treg (5-9) we did not shoot well: Jordan (1-7), Kenny (4-15), Block (0-2). We were out rebounded 40-26. We shot at 36%, they shot at 50%, including 10-21 from three. They also took 13 more free throws. I think if the Tony we know has his game we get to Friday, but we need to defend better as a team too.
