Mini update: Keys to the game

Crazy day so here are a few quick thoughts before game time. This should be a simple rematch. Wake looks like a broken team so I expect BC to come out control and not let up. There are still plenty of pitfalls. Here is what needs to happen.

Get Dudley involved in the post early. I expect Smith to still be a little fatigued. Wake did a good job on collapsing on Craig last game. Get Dudley the ball in the same role this game and have him either suck in the defense or dominate his man in the low post.

Go back to Rice. Tyrese has struggled of late. There is no better way to get him back on track than to get him the ball against the team he killed earlier this month. I expect Wake to adjust, which would mean he can penetrate and distribute. Whatever he does it should be more than hesitating on 3s and flying blind down the lane.

Come out strong early. Like I said, Wake is a broken down team. They have talent but are starting to mail it in. There is no reason to give them any hope. BC has lacked the killer instinct this year. Hopefully this is the game were it finally surfaces.
