This may be an oversimplification, but it seems that defending Buffalo boils down to this: You have to double team McCrae. He passes well out of double teams. They will get some open threes because of this. Will they be hot from three or not? Also, he does some good interior passing out of double teams. What will the results be? Puts a LOT of pressure on a defense to switch, rotate and close out. How well we do this will determine whether we win tonight.
Having said that, I hope we don't get back into the mode of falling behind by double digits and then spending the rest of the game trying to catch up. Ideally, I'd like to see Ohio have a home breakout game and win comfortably. Most likely, though, it will be a tense grinder.
Looking at the team stats, the two teams are very similar.
