You guys are going to hate Pryor, dude flops and cries about everything. I’ve watched quite a few USF games this season and they are a solid squad. Their coach manages the end of games well and his guys don’t make goofy mistakes.

Defend the three and we should be ok. Do not defend the three and it could be a long night.

Looks to me like this will be a game where a good offense (USF) meets a good defense (Us) and a so-so offense (Us) is up against a so-so defense (USF)…on the road, I like our chances, but this is the biggest test since FAU…I’ll be disappointed with a loss, but a lot of basketball left to play. Like VA49er said…defending the 3 is key I think…USF hits 40% or better, not sure we win.

100% on Pryor. He is a flop waiting to happen on every play.

I hope we go at him down low with Igor and Jackson. He has length but can be bodied up at 210 lbs. Pryor in foul trouble is a problem for them.

Bad memories from that Arena. I was there in 2005. We couldn’t hit anything in the 1st half, and never recovered. All 12 of their students in the student section rushed the court because it was the first time they had beaten a ranked team in XX years. I think I posted a picture on the board, but have no idea how to retrieve it.

This was the 1st college venue that I went to that served beer, so that was a plus.

Alumnus also has a great story about that game!! :rofl:

I was there for that game as well (I was in the area visiting family). All I remember thinking how lucky they were heading to the BigEast (because the arena didn’t feel BigEast like that night).

That was the start of our downfall in 2005. February was perfect. March was a nightmare.

Interesting stats to look at in this prep sheet.

Oh yes, I remember listening to Matt on the radio and the court rush :face_vomiting: Lets make a new memory tonight with a big win.
