We will have to make good decisions and show some poise because we are going to have our hands full with Auburn in the opening round. A lot of coaches have done an outstanding job in the SEC this season, but few have gotten less attention for their work than Cliff Ellis. He has done an outstanding job, despite injuries. His team does a very good job of executing their game plans and making plays in crunch time. We expect to see a lot of different looks from the Tigers, defensively.
Cliff likes to use a lot of junk defenses.
He ll switch from a triangle and two to a box and one. They will press on one possession and trap on the next. It will be very important for us to remain patient. If you are not careful, Auburn will take you out of the things you want to do on offense. And our half-court sets have been an area of concern for us.
