I think it depends on how far you advance.

Roughly 1/14 of a unit (unit equals the amount of $ NCAA pays each team per round) per round we play in.

Don't see us outrebounding them like that as they are one of the top rebounding teams in the country with good length. Plain and simple, we are going to have to get top performances from others outside of Brown. He will not be going off in this game like normal. Gonna have to do well beyond the arc and play our best team defense of the year.

If and when they double team Brown and Brown passes it back out to the wide open guards they have to be money on those 3 point shots for us to have a chance. We have to make our FT’s as well.

Correct and timing is an issue too. He has to move the ball quickly when he realizes the doubles. He was slow on that early on.

I'll never forget that game. We didn't have a prayer. It was like they threw a blanket over Graylin Warner.

4 Tenn (23-10) vs 13 LA (26-7)

As per espn this morn:

TENN: Lost to lower seed in last 4 NCAA Tournaments
TENN: 2nd-best defensive efficiency in D-1
TENN: BPI chance to win national title: Tennessee 13%

CAJUNS: Last NCAA Tournament win was in 1992
CAJUNS: Jordan Brown: 19.0 PPG, 10.8 RPG in last 10 games
CAJUNS: BPI chance to reach Round of 32: Louisiana 5%

Let's Geaux.

And that’s a big IF on the double team. Tennessee has two bigs that are good, one slows JB down enough could work for them.

Shock the world.
