Maybe I'm reading too much into what Begley said about the matchup, but I don't think you'd hear those types of comments if the idea from the staff was that we can only win if we play a different defensive game than we're accustomed to and change the rotation significantly.
My guess is that we believe we can play our game and compete -- rightly or wrongly. I think we want this game to look like Temple or SJoe this year -- a typical low-scoring, physical Big 5 game. Hang in long enough to get to the point where anything can happen. Maybe we get a technical called on the Eagle.
