Broken nose confirmed for Zvonimir *
 Previous Message
Per Brad's PC yesterday:
Southern is an older team.
Southern will be picked to win their conference.
Southern will throw a bunch of different defensive looks out there.
Southern has one really good scorer and a good big guy.
Brad was very happy with our effort vs. Mizzou and we've had some good practices since.
As far as numbers go, Southern is #288 in the NET, so this is clearly a Q4 game for us at home. We are a 31 point favorite. Southern is 0-4 in Q1 games, 0-1 in Q2 teams, and 0-2 in Q3 games. Apparently they took Washington to overtime back in mid-November.
This is the first of a 3 game Q4/Q3 stretch vs. Southern, Penn State, and Rutgers. We need to win all three of these games to set us up for the next Q1 game at Iowa. Will be interesting to see if Brad uses this game to get guys like Lee, Petrovic, and Jakstys going a bit more, or if his rotation is pretty set with the bigger roles for Davis and Humm-Daddy. We shall see.
Very honestly curious to see how many people are there today. I snagged tickets to this game weeks ago because all my kids would be home from school and they were dirt cheap (the tickets, not the kids). 2pm on a Monday is a weird time...lol.

The way you are, it's not your fault, you knew that
The way we were, so young and caught up in it
