Schemes

The match-up against Lipscomb will be entertaining. I'm a big fan of any team that boosts 47% of its shots from behind the 3 point line.

We are intrigued with the strategy for the Cyclones on slowing Lipscomb's 5-Out-ish offensive style. Giving help in the lane while preventing open looks is a challenge. 

On offense, transition points will be tough without a lot of live ball turnovers at mid-court. Losing Gilbert, one of the keys to forcing steals, is a big loss. Lipscomb prefers to get back on defense rather than scramble for offensive rebounds, so the Cyclones will have to find peak efficiency in the half court.

Just find a way, fellas. Survive and advance is a cliche for a reason.
