I don't think Kentucky is going to have enough time to go through all our film tape (and Indiana's, to be honest). They'll watch our tournament games, Vanderbilt and Notre Dame, I'd think.

And here's the opportunity: They're going to play man, and they're gonna see us as a one-man team and focus on stopping Warney in the low post at all costs - and they might be right. But they might not understand how good of a passer he is. Which means we're going to have to be smart and quick with our cuts. When all attention is drawn to Warney, when he absorbs all the gravity, we need to move instantly as soon as they turn their collective attention to him - and Warney will make the right pass.

We have three days to get our spacing down - not just to give Warney the space to operate in the paint, but the spacing to make Kentucky defenders move justenough for our guys to cut to the hoop. A step here and there is all a smart team needs.

Defensively, we'll be okay, I believe that, although we'll have to hide Woodhouse on someone - maybe Murray, if that makes any sense at all. He's the slowest of the three and Woodhouse will have a better chance staying in front of him instead of Briscoe or Ulis.
