I think this break for the team is going to pay huge dividends for us. one side to the coin is that a team can come out stagnant after a "bye" week. this is a fairly common practice, however it usually happens to teams that have weak coaching staffs.
sorry to cross over to football here, but if you look at the steelers/broncos coaching staffs... these two teams historically come out of bye firing on all cylinders. good coaches now how to maximize the extra practice days while resting and healing wounds.
I believe in shyatt, and can see good coaching. I don't think we come out flatt. we weren't streaking before the break. we were simply playing good ball. its not like we had come off a two week hot shooting period.
additionally, princton style offenses are kinda like the triple option. you need a little extra time coaching defensive positioning to really iron out the kinks.
if we had to play denver coming of a three day turnaround... id be scared shitless.
cant wait to listen to the game. i bet grabua hits the floor in limited minutes (although not "that" limited). i bet he gets around 20 minutes.
again, I preach about our bigs. I see a disparing advantage for us in this game. it really all comes down to how our defense can switch and cover the princton. I believe we are in the top ten nationally at defensive 2-point fieldgoal %. but we are not so good in perimeter 3 point %.
if denver has one of those "lights-out" three point shooting nights, then this will be a nail-biter.
My guess... we beat denver with breathing room. I think we get to the double bonus with 5-6 minutes left in the second half. most likely we shoot alot of free-throws tomorrow.
