Well, it will be tough this year in any case. Assuming that Ware's injury has not altered his game, they will have three of that caliber on the floor. Now, their roster is good, not just the Big Three. They are very good. However, common sense tells you that there is a big drop-off from legit money conference talent to even good Sun Belt talent. So, as long as the Three are in the game, they are trouble, and the last couple of years have shown that Coach Hunter is going to keep them in the game every minute he can.
So, you have to get them out of the game. You have to get them in foul trouble, which means you have to be very aggressive on offense from the get-go. Push the issue. Go really strong to the basket. And keep doing it. And keep doing it.
The problem is that they are very good at protecting their stars. Their game is to win the turnover battle, and they are good at it. Last year Hunter and Harrow fouled out once between them. But you are not likely to beat them with the Three on the floor and not in foul trouble, so you have to go at them.
