Some random thoughts before I try to be a little productive before heading downtown...
Trimble no longer being on the team is going to take away Kent from being able to park Carry on him. I have to imagine he was easy to guard camping at the 3 pt line, which gave Carry more energy on offense. No mas.
Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I don't recall Tribble being the primary defender on Carry in the first 2 meetings. I hope that changes tonight. Even so, my recollection is that Kent ran a lot of pick and rolls to get mismatches..like Aziz on Carry. Aziz's minutes going down with Wynn playing more at the 5 when needed should help with that.
We need Freeman to stay out of foul trouble. Plain and simple. I'd also feed him as much as possible. I don't think he missed last night. Need probably an above average game from either X or Ali on top of that.
On paper Ohio would have scared me more than Kent, but Kent has had our number this season...which probably has me a little more worried than I should be. Still, tough to beat anyone 3 times in a season. Go Zips!
