Auburn matchup thoughts

Things I don't want to see verse Auburn.

Keys to victory.


1. Ware and Reneau picking up early ticky tack fouls.

2. Gallo standing 6 ft outside of the 3 pt line flat footed trying to feed the post in a stagnant offensive set.

3. Being slow or unaware and getting beat to the 50/50 loose balls and rebounds.

4. Guards/wings not blocking out when Auburn jacks up 3s.

5. Careless passing/catching/dribbling turnovers that lead to easy Auburn run-outs and points.

6. Not locating Auburn players that run to the 3 pt line for easy transition 3s.

7. Sparks/Gallo? on the free throw line.

8. A ref crew that dominates the game with terrible calls.

9. Walker baited into shooting any 3s.

10. Any guard struggles verse any sort of press/pressure Auburn throws at us.

11. Struggling to get an entry pass to Ware when he calls for it at the elbow or in the post.
1, 4, and 6 from your list.

Struggling against pressure is a given with what we have available. They just have to counter it with good defense. But the 3s and fouls will IUs chances.
 
Cupps and Gallow need to step up defensively and take care of the ball.

Heading down shortly, should be fun.
