Quick scout on High Point

I see the line keeps dropping. I hope whomever is playing HP loses their tails.

I see it moved back to -8.5 today. I bet it gets to -9.5 before tip off.

I see open was at 10.5 and still see most at 8 with DK at 7.5.

I keep seeing 4* star ratings. I'm not saying he isn't good, but we see this talent all the time.

We play within our game and we handle business. I could be completely wrong. I feel we win this by double digits.

This one scares me. And then it's McNeese State who's my sleeper pick. They're just a solid team with excellent guard play.

I actually think that when we push the tempo we look better and all our players on the floor look to be more engaged. The offense opens up a bit more.

so there is pushing the tempo off a long board or a steal as I said ...being selective... and there is just running up and down regardless of a long board or a steal to play faster. Purdue's game typically has been selective pushing the ball. Not being selective and trying to get into an up and down game may be just fine, but one concern is that it leaves out Trey and "may" play into a team's hand that isn't as big and maybe quicker.

I think the concerns I mentioned are why Purdue is selective when they push it and yes...when they push it they are good typically. The question is...is it better to be selective or better to not be selective and that in my mind is a function of the opponent with a lean to being selective for me. If this was a pressing team...quick and such, I might have a different opinion. Make no mistake though I too want them to push it every chance they get and it is an advantage.

If you haven't watched McNeese, please do so. I'm still pulling for CMP and the boys.
