Watching that lead evaporate made me think about how Belmont was able to get back in that game at Murray St.

The Bobcats ability to blow a lead combined with Belmont's ability to overcome a deficit is a concern heading into that game.  Ohio will have to shoot really well that night and have very few turnovers.  They will have to box out and rebound better than usual too.  The bracket buster game is winnable - but it won't be easy to pull off.  To win it might require Ohio's best game of the year to this point.

Need to recruit some muscle for the painted area.  Can't always live and die by the 3-point jump shot.  Belmont will guard the perimeter bigtime.  They may try to press after made buckets too, to slow the game down.  The won't win a "track meet" style game vs. Ohio.

The lead started dwindling when Kent started making threes.  Belmont is going to pose the same problem; they're a very good 3-pt shooting team.  We need to defend the perimeter really well to beat them.  Maybe not press, but at least a lot of in-your-face D in the forecourt.

Seems to me more teams are gonna make dj get rid of the ball by double teaming him way up top.  He's gotta find open guys and extra passes will need to be made to find guys wide open for the three.
