1. Be confident
North Carolina is bigger, faster and generally more talented than anyone Princeton has faced since the middle of November. The Tigers must not let the mystique and ability of the Tar Heels intimidate them. A calm but intense Princeton team runs the offense most efficiently and drains the most shots.
2. Stop Joe Forte
Maybe this boils down to luck. Forte is one of the best players in the country, if not the best. For as long as Forte is cold, Princeton can double down on Brendan Haywood. But once Forte starts lighting it up, the Tar Heels can spread the Tiger defense to their liking.
3. Get past half court
This is not a joke. It often happens that talent-laden teams try to make big runs on lesser teams with a full-court press. Duke caused turnover after turnover late in the first half in November, taking advantage of Princeton's young guards. El Nokali has since returned, but Princeton still has to carefully avoid turnovers and big Tar Heel runs.
