Rude awakening to be dealing with Fouss' low postgame about the time you give your starting defenders a bit of a rest.

And if they can't stop him, you leave him in and/or continue with a steady dose of Fouss throughout the game. While certainly good enough to start for many teams, Fouss was very effective in this role against Big12 defenses last year.

That said, with the lineup we'll have, I'm not sure I love going right to the Fouss 1 on 1, methodical post-up game from the get go. It stops the ball and slows down the offense. As was the case with Khalifa starting last, I think we'll prove more effective at the outset by moving and distributing the ball.
