Keys to tonight's game

Let's keep this concise. The Lions can win tonight's game. If they do, I would consider it an upset, but it is certainly possible. For the upset to happen, most, if not all, of the following must happen:

1. Drew Viney must reestablish himself. He has had back-to-back un-Drew like games, and the Lions need him to be the Drew that Lions fans know and love. He needs to turn the ball over less, and score the basketball.
2. Ashley Hamilton, if he returns to the lineup, will need to make his presence known. Both Godwin Okonji and Edgar Garibay are not scorers in the post by nature, so Hamilton needs to take on that role.
3. The Lions need to limit the Pilots' three-point shooting. They are the best three-point shooting team in the nation, and I hope that Max Good and his coaching staff came up with some defensive scheme this week to limit those opportunities.
