Keys to the Game:
- Pound The Boards: It doesn't appear that EKU is a very big team and if there was ever a team that Texas Tech could take advantage of, EKU appears to be it. Oppong, a guard, appears to be their best rebounder, I wonder if Junior Knight is going to put Roberts on Oppong in an attempt to slow him down.
- Stop Rose: EKU appears to rely on Rose quite a bit and it will be interesting to see how matches up on Rose. Okorie's defense, from what I've seen is better than Voskuil's and I'd imagine that Okorie gets the nod initially.
- Keep Running: . . . but play some defense. Thursday night's offensive explosion was pretty amazing, statistically, speaking, but someone is going to need to slap the floors and play a little defense this afternoon as EKU appears to be a defense oriented team.
