'Cats minus 7.5 tonight
- Thread starter No Chores
- Start date
I was expecting it to be higher, honestly. Should be a lot of points tonight for us, at least.
They have a 7-foot freshman beast named Ivan from Croatia, a nice throwback to 20 years ago from our own large Croatian Ivan. Their PG is another freshman who is a very skilled passer, and had been quick with his hands on defense, but he broke his nose a few weeks ago and has been wearing a mask, which has dropped his steals down to nothing. When he's in the game, their offense works, but their defense is a train wreck. When he's on the bench, the offense stops working. They will spend the game driving to the rim or driving and kicking it out for a 3. They have two 6'8" wings who can shoot, particularly #11 Eli Rice.
On defense they will try to double and pressure us, but their stats are absolutely awful on defense, so as long as we move the ball around well, we should be able to find an open guy for a basket. Their eFG% in conference play is an atrocious 61.4%, 2nd to last in the country. It will be a battle between them wanting us to shoot 3s constantly vs us hardly ever wanting to shoot them.
Really hope we can just take it to them tonight.
