Post by: ILLINICHIEF on March 18, 2024, 12:59:51 AM: Going through our players numbers, we should have no issue getting 80-85 per game in the NCAA. Our style is designed to score against anyone. Just gotta play 40 of defense.

Offense Ranking per game scoring.

1st round #8 vs #118
2nd Rd potential # 8 vs #20-#256
3rd Rd potential #8 vs #34 - #88 - #114 - #155 -

We score against any defense in first 3 rds, well BU is no longer carrying the monkey.

Domask and TSJ at LEAST 20 apiece per game
CoHawk gives us 10
Guerrier gives us 8
Rodgers gets us 6
Dainja gets 6
Goode gets us 6
Harmon gets us 4-6

We are at our worst when guys are drifting on us. Need to stay focused. And Brad absolutely cannot get outcoached by midmajors.

^^^^ This is the tell!!! We cannot keep coming out and getting down by double digits.

I really hope BU becomes "connected" to a serious game plan, and the guys execute early. TSJ will have a game he may struggle, how will we do then?

We're capable of anything, and everything.

I know we're really in for a nut punch when we enter the NCAA's on a roll. The team that got beat by Austin Peay was just STORMING going into the tourney
