They are a little different because they are great with help. Really have to swing the ball to open shooters. That’s why they give up lots of 3s.
We will both get our fair share of offensive rebounds. Neither team is elite on the defensive glass, but both are offensively. Key is that our...
That is exactly what happened in 2006, ironically enough. We averaged 14+ turnovers a game that year (184th in the country), and had committed 15...
I'm just not sure the "defense wins games/championships" maxim really holds for college hoops, though, or at least it hasn't for national...
For the tourney, he is at 24.6 ppg and is shooting 48.7 from the arc. Unreal year. 22 pts per game, 4.7 apg, 41-92 from the arc (47.8) from the...

Definitely part of it. They don't shoot a ton of threes, even though they are far more efficient at the arc than they are in the paint. Gotta...
I don’t think anyone ever considered him a great evaluator. He was a good recruiter in that he could beat out competition for kids he wanted. But...
Also, his defensive box plus-minus has been 4.6, which is third in our rotation and the best of our guards. Highest defensive win shares.
His shot has still been uneven, but his defense has been terrific most of the season. I feel perfectly confident with him defending anyone 1-3....
Key difference statistically is they are far more reliant on the three and don’t score as well in the paint (their 3pt % has been better than...
Wasn’t just us. They were considered better than Duke and Houston, too. And the Q1-2 win record is just one part of the resume metric equation,...
Houston isn't anywhere near as good, but is probably the worse matchup. Their pace is brutal. Duke is still fairly slow, and obviously much longer...
It's not a "metrics" thing. The committee evaluates the resume as a whole, without respect to when you win the games. We got downgraded for our...
Yes. Auburn really bothered our bigs, and Richard and Aberdeen couldn't get their shots down against their perimeter length and physicality. But...
In that second half, we were +9 on the glass, forced 12 turnovers, stayed the course not helping off shooters, contested everything at the rim.
Exactly right. He contested everything at the rim, too. And took a huge charge. Kid obviously needs to gain some more confidence scoring in the...
Really hard to argue against Clayton. He has been at his best in the absolute biggest games at the biggest moment. Never seen anyone like this at...
He's got a curious looking shot and no clue how good he is defensively, but he checks a lot of boxes: big guard, shoots, scores in the paint,...
