Sounds obvious I know, but in our first game against Virginia a couple of weeks ago we really did not play a bad game, especially on the defensive end. We had so many missed 3's and a couple of untimely turnovers in the first half, if a couple of those 3's go in the game is completely different.
Virginia is just not a team you can play from behind, just ask UNC how that second half went yesterday... Virginia is also without a key big man, which should help.
Our experienced guys (Hunter Tyson & Galloway specifically) need to step up and knock down some shots in the first half and keep us playing out front. If we get down 5-7 points and this game turns into a grind fest, I don't like our chances.
