Pike has had a penchant for using McConnell on the opposing teams' playmaking guards. The theory is to choke off the offensive flow from the primary ballhandler, and hope that this has impact on the opposing team's offensive sets. I would expect McConnell to guard JHS for this reason.
The battle between TJD and Cliff down low should be interesting. Trace really playing at an AA level lately. Cliff's not a ball-denier, so TJD is going to get lots of touches on the block. You can expect Rutgers to double him often and make him pass out to the wings. But your team is shooting 38% from deep, so this strategy makes me nervous.
With Mag out, I have a sick feeling that you're going to boat race us tonight, as Mag is a HUGE part of our defensive strategy, both in the full-court press and in the half court sets.
