If we’re making the tournament this season, even as a last 4 in kind of squad, this is a game we really, really need to have. So far we’re 1-1 against “name” teams. We really need to go at least 2-2 and have undefeated (though coached by Frank Haith) Missouri left on the schedule.
It’s really odd to me. I think Martin is a much better coach than Haith. Haith obviously has better talent. I digress.
I’d have been okay with Martin and he’s been solid against Tennessee. They gave Duke all they could handle early last year.
One thing that this write up doesn’t mention is just how physical Tennessee is. I expect this game will resemble Cincinnati. Look for lots of fouls.
The other real question is how the Pack responds going on the road. This is only our second game outside of Raleigh. Here’s to hoping we learned something the first time.
