Hofstra (Game 2) - Homecoming
Man, with no Thursday matchup, it's a brutally long wait in between games.
Adjustments will, of course, be key in this one, as will the home crowd on Homecoming. It'll be tough to make up the 20-point gap that separated the two squads last time around, but I for one definitely think it's possible.
How do we slow down Hofstra's "Big 3" (Wright-Foreman, Gustys, Pemberton), who combined for 67 points (on 23/32 shooting, .719), 7 threes, and 25 rebounds when we faced them in Hempstead?
With Hofstra having played @ Elon two nights prior, do we take advantage of having fresher legs by pressing a bit? That would seem to be the logical strategy, as using more than some "token zone" against a strong shooting and rebounding team is likely an exercise in futility...A 3-2 zone hurts our rebounding, a 2-3 hurts our perimeter defense, and a 2-1-2 hurts us in both areas.
