What player has to step up vs. Miami?

One of the wings. Langford, Matty Buckets or Ellis.

Winston is hopefully fully ready to go and can get 10+ and 7+ assists. Need Langford to lock down their primary and put up 13+. Need Ward and Bridges to put up both near double doubles. Couple clutch 3's from McQ and not be a liability on the floor.  Tum to push the floor and lock down on D when Winston is off the court. Now would be a good time to Ellis to play like a senior. Limit turnovers and pound the glass. I know thats like the dream scenario but I'll say Winston needs to be a floor general and not turn the ball over tons and be slow footed on defense.

Ward

tum

Voted.

Langford.

He's our best 3 point shooter and has the ability to take the ball to the rim.

Voted Winston because I think we're gonna need offense. One or both of Ellis/Langford would also be helpful. I expect Bridges and Ward to bring it (as I'm assuming do the rest of you), so I didn't vote for them, but if either of them has a bad game or gets in foul trouble, I don't like our chances.

If Tum scores 8 points, we chase Miami out of the gym.

Mcquaid

Need Winston to be in effect before we can even start the discussion. Then I would go with McQuaid.

I have this feeling that our senior guard Alvin 3llis is going to ball the fuck out tomorrow night and be the X-factor we need beyond Bridges/Ward that will secure our victory.

Van Dyk!

Dumb question. They all have to step up or its one and done.

Pretty much as Ward goes the team goes. If he stays out of foul trouble and establishes himself well everything else usually falls into place. Too much of the 15 Fouls Available Monster known as Goins/Ahrens/Van Dyk and we're in trouble.

Tum tum since izzo refuses to play the back up
