They play 4-out and small...
So Collins is going to be key. He needs to be serviceable so he can stay on the floor without digging to far into offensive efficiency.
This is a game where guys like Beran, Long and Nickel could either have a big game or be hard to keep on the floor. I think Beran should be fine even without making shots, but Long and Nickel will need to be active away from the ball defensively so they don't get beat on all the misdirection and actions FAU use to get players open.
I think Kidd and Poteat should get a lot of looks inside and I'm sure they'll double. So they'll need to make quick moves before the double and/or get the ball out to the right player without turning it over. A slicing Collins/Long could really help here.
FAU is gonna shoot a ton of threes, drive a lot and dump down to Goldin...they'll score in different ways and want the possession count to be higher than VT would like...VT needs to keep it below 70
