I definitely think AMC needs to attack from the tip. It seems on the road they tend to settle for long jump shots (especially against the AMCats, hence why they went down double digits early). Probably a trend for most teams but Albertus has the talent to get to the hoop, or get it inside to Chi. Attack the hoop, force them to play in the paint. If we settle for long contested jumpers and they aren't falling, the crowds gonna let the Falcons know about it and it could be over quick.

During this nice stretch for Magnus of 5 years, they have actually been underrated in some ways offensively. Sure, they get their fair share of points on the break off of turnovers, but what has really set them apart in the GNAC was the ability to get their athletes in great positions to score on a nightly basis. Askew and St. Juste in years past were terrors to keep track of due to a ton of transition and quick hitter screens in the half-court. This is one of the main reasons for Magnus getting to the line so often- they execute so well, so quickly. It is tough to stretch a big lead out on a team that executes well, especially one with athletes like Magnus.
