I’ve watched some of their highlights from this season. Bryant primarily plays a soft zone defense which could give us trouble if we aren’t hitting outside shots. Offensively, the really rely on dribble penetration to score or to kick to their outside shooters. They only hit 30% from 3 but their guys are really streaky. They have several guys that can light it up if they get on a roll. I think the keys to a Raider win is to not let them get off to a good start. Make them take hard contested shots and to try to control the glass with our size advantage.

That means no lead is safe for either team. Less than 24 hours to go! |

Boy I hope we show up tonight. This is probably going to be the largest pro-Raider crowd that anyone on this team will have played in front of, and probably one of the largest in the history of our program. Tonight could do a lot for our program with a win. If you're anyone who watches college basketball, your eyes are on the Raiders tonight. The country is watching, the recruits are watching, prospective fans and season ticket holders will be watching (both on TV and in person). This is a MONUMENTAL game for building our brand and moving the trajectory of WSU basketball forward. I fully expect we'll get absolutely smoked by Arizona; but our team needs to show up and grab tonight's game by the proverbial balls. I think you can see the excitement on the players' faces during media sessions yesterday; we just need to execute our plan and play smart basketball.

Will need everyone on their A game but if you can't go all out on defense in an NCAA tournament game you shouldn't be playing D1 basketball so I trust the defensive intensity will be there tonight. |

Anyone heard word about expected student attendance at the game tonight? Based on the tweets I saw circulating about students who want tickets not being able to get them turning into a petition to BG.. I'm guessing if they didn't pony up the cash, they were very few to go around. |
