Help and clog the middle and make Reed kick it out to shooters. Hopefully they are cold from the perimeter. Hopefully we have Bilodeau back to help space the floor and we are hot from the outside, and lanes are open for driving to the rim or kicking it out to open shooters. If Booker can give us some good minutes, as he did tonight and hit a few shots, that would help too. I like our 5 out offense or high post. While Jamerson plays better defense than Booker, he's not much of threat to hit a mid range or perimeter shot, so he posts up down low and clogs the lane, allowing easy help defense on penetrating guards. I'm sure Reed will still get points. St John's held him to 17points and 8 boards I believe in the Big East Final and a decisive win. Even if he gets 20 points, hopefully our three point shooting is hot enough to offset a dominant Reed.
