From their stats they are not a great outside shooting team, nor do they have a lot of size inside.  They do rebound well and do play a disciplined game that forces turnovers well.  If we take care of the ball and rebound well, which we should be able to do against them, that limits how they can hurt us.  They only score 70 or so a game, so not a big scoring team either.  Our defense is much better by the stats against a much tougher schedule, as is our offense.  If we play well, we should be in good shape.  Nothing is guaranteed, as always, but this is one of those games where play well should equal a win.  I know we played them a couple of years ago and it was not easy.  Still, this team has some defensive beasts on the perimeter and the ability to outrun them in a fast paced game, which was not so much the case a couple of years ago.
