I heard him interviewed on Jim Rome last week
Seems to be a good guy, I think they said he was 33.

yes we do
speeding it up, we are prone to turnovers which is key for Ohio. Also, we are not the greatest team in transition
How are they managing off. rebounds?

This concerns me.
We can’t keep the 70% up and they can keep the offensive boards up. This is a bad thing getting obfuscated by opening up hot.

i was thinking the same thing
It's simple Cubs in the spring and summer, Vols in the fall and winter.
If they double down on Chism
we need to make the extra pass and swing that thing all the way back around
If they double Chism...
without denying him, we can probably just eat them alive with a second pass… or get their entire interior into foul trouble in about 5 minutes.
They have essentially one interior player we care about.
