I think we have a huge advantage against guard-driven teams. If Goode, Todd and Sogadzi can contain Mallory and Dux, keep them to their season's average or hopefully below, then Canisius will struggle to score. If we can control the two stars, Canisius will need career games from some lesser players to take us down. Possible, but not likely.

I agree, we need to pound it inside and let our big guys make baskets or go to the foul line. I'd like to see the Stags get 30+ foul shots and convert 80%.

I understand all the intangibles—first MAAC home game, players returning from injuries, law of averages—favor the Griffs tonight. But if we follow this game plan, I think we win.

I think we are all in agreement. Contain their guards and pound the ball down in the post. Our big guys should have a big game tonight. Would like to see Garcia rebound from the Rider game. As OMM said, get the hell out of Buffalo with the win!

While I agree with the offensive strategy of feeding the ball inside and drawing fouls, I think our #1 Priority is to defend their scorers. Obviously Todd and Goode will be on Dux, and since Mallory will play mostly as a 6-3 SF, it will be up to Delfico and Maxwell to contain him. If Mallory deems to be too quick for them, I think we should consider going to a 3-guard line-up with Kudjo at the 3. This is a game we could use Michael Bell. Defensive matchups should be are #1 priority.

I always get worried when we think we can overpower an opponent. Team Quickness wins.

I agree with the strategy. However, pounding the ball down low has not been a FF strong suit. The guards even struggle at times with the olley-oop. It will be a difficult game - the paint will be crowded.
