Keys To The Game
1) Get Hot, Stay Hot
After the terrible start last week, IUPUI needs to come out hot and put up a bunch of points by the first media timeout, somewhere in the vicinity of 12-15.
2) Have Fun
Losing by 30 is never fun, even if it's "expected". The boys need to come out of the gate playing the game with a smile, especially against such an over-matched opponent.
3) Get The Subs Confidence Up
Mitchell looked incredible in the first game, despite the team's overall lack of...anything really decent. He needs to continue to play like he did Sunday, in addition to Greg and Donovan hitting shots and earning playing time.
4) 55% FG, 80% FT, 40% 3P.
Shooting better than this would be amazing, all except the freethrows. They have to shoot well from the line in every single game they play. Leroy is the best in that category, but others can't lag behind.
