Short bench + elevation = worries?

[88clone]

Hopefully this isn't a problem, but this was my first thought when I saw the draw.

 

[SwirlyBird]

Dumb.

Iona likes to get up and down so will be interesting. If us and Purdue win, can their 7 footers play in the elevation with Georges and Jameel

 

[Hoiball92]

nope.

 

[cyowa]

Yup.!

 

[baagoe]

Is the elevation really as much of a factor as it is made out to be?

No....

I really don't know, which is why I asked. I don't know if our guys will be able to play 35 minutes like they do in the midwest. Sorry for those that think it's a dumb question.

To me its can we play with their 7 footers? We seem to struggle with length.

Kind of appropriate, considering Marley and Colorado.

Probably gonna be more of a problem for Purdue's big/slow team.

 

[ISUTex]

Not a dumb question. Especially since ISU rarely played well in Boulder.

Has everyone forgotten where we are?

We'd worry about short bench if we were playing in the Dead Sea.

Yes, but the bench is fine.
If we go acclimate early, it'll be just fine.

Good thing we're not playing in Boulder, then.

 

[ArgentCy]

Run when we get easy opportunities otherwise I think we should be the team to slow it down and go to Niang or McKat down low.

I know that the Hoks wore them out and took charge in the 2nd half of both games, outscoring them 50-26 and 50-36 in the 2nd half of their games. I think it's a great matchup for us.

 

[bosco]

I hear the team has already booked appointments at the salon.

 

[jsb]

Yes. Denver and Thursday game is concerning.

 

[CNECloneFan]

We are playing another team. That makes me worry.
