Our first matchup against them was burn-the-tape bad. But Ajogbor was out, Mack was just coming back from mono, and Lee, as good as he is, was making the kind of stepback threes that nobody can make consistently. So I have no idea what to expect here.
On defense, we need active hands on their cuts, we need Ajogbor to make life difficult for them at the rim, we need to run them off the three point line on their kickouts, and we need them to have an off night shooting. It's going to be a big challenge that will require making multiple efforts every possession.
On offense, we need to come up with an answer for their quick doubles on Mack. I still like having Lesmond or Okpara set the ball screen so we either have a shooting or driving threat just a pass away out of the double.
We're going to have to do the same thing for Ajogbor's post-ups. He's so turnover-prone at the same time that he's going to have such a physical advantage that Princeton will obviously double him. We just need him to make quicker decisions: either aggressively get to his spot and shoot it, or kick it back out before the double makes it too hard to pass.
We need to at least be decent from three too.
