Head coach [autotag]Bruce Pearl[/autotag] expects a challenge on Wednesday and needs his team to limit turnovers and Virginia Tech’s trips to the free-throw line.
“It’s going to wind up being good defense and better offense. They are hard to double because of the way they shoot it. They’ll put three great shooters on the floor at the same time. They don’t shoot it quick either. They are going to be patient. We’ve turned it over a little too much. We can’t afford any non-forced turnovers because the possessions have to matter. They get to the foul line — their top players are all shooting in the 90’s in FT percentage. We have to defend without fouling. They are going to shoot.”
