Keys to the Game:
- Trying to Outmuscle: According to LAJ's Jeff Walker, Darko Cohadarevic is going to get the start today, squeezing out Mike Singletary. My best bet is that Junior Knight wants to control the boards and win the game that way. New Mexico isn't a huge rebounding team, so this is certainly worth watching.
- Guarding Danridge: This could be problematic. Without Okorie to guard the most athletic player, this job falls to Roberts, who certainly has the ability to guard just about anyone on the court, however, this now eats into the depth of the team and early fouls by Roberts means that the already thin bench is even thinner.
- Singletary Off The Bench: Because of Cohadarevic's start, Singletary gets moved off the bench and I think I like this move. Singletary is a pretty good 6th man and is typically much better than opposing teams' players off the bench. Hopefully Singletary will provide a spark off the bench if the Red Raiders need a lift.
