We have done the metrics.
We've done the records and stuff.
Let's get to the players because, Scott, as you mentioned before the break, this is a team that people may recognize some of the names, but they come from other places.
This is a very transfer-heavy team.
The two guys that you mentioned, you know, data aims, Justin Pippen, first of all, data aims last year at UVA.
He actually had a pretty good game against us.
15 points, three assists and a rebound on five of eight shooting.
And I think, as you mentioned, he's kind of the, the, for lack of a better term, he's like an Island Iverson type point guard, a score first type of point guard.
And he's,
If you cut him down and neutralize him, it's not necessarily that his body will wither, but as you mentioned, it puts a lot of extra pressure on Justin Pippen to perform.
And with his shooting from three, that's where they kind of start to lose the plot a little bit.
They'll start shooting a little bit more threes to try and catch up, and especially at home.
They're going to want the momentum, and threes provide a lot of momentum.
If they're going to be hitting a lot of mid-range jumpers, that's one thing.
But if they're hitting threes to try and keep Duke within reach, that's going to be quite another.
Justin Pippen's going to take a lot of those.
I know you're about to talk about Chris Bell.
Chris Bell also is going to take a metric ton of threes.
So there's going to be a lot of guys in that starting lineup that all can shoot threes.
As I should say, they all are going to shoot threes.
