I'm scared for this one. Of their top 10 players 8 are seniors. 1 junior. 1 sophomore. They are long and athletic with a bunch of guys in the 6'8/6'9 range. Going to need the best effort of the season to keep it close. |

Yes they will tower over us at some positions. They start two 6'8", one 6'7", a 6'11" and a 6'2" PG. The are average shooting from deep but are an excellent FT shooting team. We have seen how smaller teams can play against the taller Hoyas and do well on the boards, but the Hoyas will need to ramp up the intensity to compete on the boards in this one. TCU is experienced and deep but has yet to play a quality team, though they have dominated the inferior opposition. Nothing about this game suggests anything other than a rout, particularly if Epps is limited. However, Massoud is an unknown and he will undoubtedly feel more comfortable in his role as floor leader in game 2 of his Hoya career. Need Styles to regain his mojo from the prior games and somehow find a way to defend the interior and hopefully present enough of an offensive threat inside to allow for some open looks on the perimeter.
