...we have absolutely no reason to lose this game except Bennett pulls some trickeration Jedi mind trick on Coach Pope and our team and we fall for it.

Pope was in emotional pain sick and beside himself after the loss to SMC in the WCC Tourney semi's when he failed to draw up a play to force the ball out of Jordan Ford's hands on that last possession leading to his game winning shot. I think we'll see his team prepared for revenge on them like Gonzaga was for us last week (payback for the 91-78 win vs the Zags in Provo).

They're always well coached and disciplined, they take care of the ball, take smart shots, block out really well, etc. They're not very big (staring front line goes 6'10", 6'7" and 6'5") and the only athletic threat is Logan Johnson who's not good from distance (career 22% from 3). Sag off him and force him to beat us from 3, keep a guy always in front of Kuhse and let Harward and Haarms defend the interior.

Meanwhile pound it inside on offense and let our size advantage carry the day. We play our game and we win.
