Keys to the Game:
- Pound The Ball Inside: Why the hell not? Lewandowski should have a field-day inside because CU's biggest player is Jackson-Wilson. How bad could it be to see Lew get 10 shots inside? I would almost guarantee that it would open things up for Voskuil.
- Keep Them Off The Boards: I told you last week that I was going to keep this here and considering the rebounding advantage Texas Tech has, I can't help but keep this here again. Win the rebounding and you'll win the game.
- Triple Screen For Voskuil: I'm convinced that in order for this team to do well, someone has to step up offensively and I'm down to Voskuil, which means that I think Pat Knight is going to need for his teammates to set triple-screens (I'm pretty sure that's not a real basketball term) to get Voskuil open to get his looks.
