[Red and Black]

I think fc wins this one with a comfortable lead the whole game because of the blackcats weak defense. I can see keathley getting shut down and not doing much for the blackcats and for fc i can see a big night out of boyd if the blackcats come out in a 2-3.

I’d say they will have to play zone because they sure can’t run with FC and that’s no offensive to them but FC has all fast guys and love to run and attack. Johnson and Boyd will shoot them out of it.

I think you're right about the zone. They don't have the speed to run with FC. Hadn't heard that Spriggs was playing tonight, so that definitely will make a for a tough mountain for Pburg to climb if he plays. I think Pburg has the size and length to play zone effectively this season but they didn't move their feet very well at all in their zone play against Letcher and that gave up way too many open shots. If pburg can learn to move more efficiently on defense to utilize their length and disrupt shots and cut off penetration then they'll have a chance, but if they play slow and look disoriented again like they did on Wednesday then they'll be in trouble. I think fast break points might be the key to this game. If FC has 15-20 FB points then they probably win this game handily, but if Pburg is able to force them to play a half court ball game all night and can get a hand in the face of their shooters and block out then they've got a chance to win. We'll see how Tackett adjusts to the Letcher loss, but he needs to fix some things, for sure.
