Breaking Down the Match-up: St. Vincent's @ FUS

Big game tomorrow night as the Barons take on the Bearcats of St. Vincent for the second time this season. Last game was a complete blowout, 96-48. The Barons badly need a win to get off this losing streak. Here's our keys to the game:

1. Get the Arby's Train out of the gate early- Liedel was held to only 4 points the last time these two met. For us to have a chance for a 50 point turn around and win this game, we need Matt to get hot early, and often. Adding on to this, everyone needs to shoot better. We are constantly shooting below 30% (including 26.7% in the last match up). For a gunning team we need to do better.

2. Limit the Turnovers- We committed 23 turnovers last time. 23! We need to stop that.

3. Play Defense- This is pretty self-explanatory. Too many Offensive Rebounds. BOX OUT! PRESS!!!! USE ALL OUR PLAYERS!!!! PRESS!!!!!! PRESS!!!!!!! PRESS!!!!!! AND PLEASE BOX OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

4. Play Smart- This is the most important. Run our Offense, Play Smart Defense. No stupid shots or stupid fouls. Most importantly we need to play with confidence. Overcome our age and not fold under pressure.

Thats it for now. Let's go get win number two! See ya at the game... THE BARONS ARE BACK!!!!

With a height deficit on St. Vincent, perimeter shooting will be key. Look for the open man for open three point shots.

I think its unwise for the Barons to play a run and gun style of offense because later in the game, you will get burned. Keep the score low because its going to be impossible to outscore St. Vincent.
