I think we've got such a huge advantage down low that TJ will make sure we get the ball in the paint every possession.

Sure but the question will be will the players wait for things to develop, etc.

Hope we were watching the TT game. With our size advantage, we shouldn't shoot more than 20 threes.

The first 30 mins of that TT game were BRUTAL. They kept settling for long 3's over and over while shooting like 28%. Just falling into UNCW's trap. We better not do the same thing.

In a way, Lipscomb is similar to Drake in that they don't shoot until deep in the shot clock (low possession game) and they shoot a lot of 3's. That said, I don't think they are as good as Drake.

Still, I think Lipscomb will frustrate us with their slow pace. Hopefully, we can speed them up with our defense and dictate the pace.
ehh, not really. Lipscomb is slow - ~240th at just over 66 possessions a game.

But Drake is otherworldly slow - 58.8 possessions a game; almost 8 possessions a game slower

The difference is that Drake can impose their tempo on basically anybody. I don't think Lipscomb can do that

I imagine they'll drop inside the 3 line and see if we'll take the bait
