Saturday 2nd round thread

Be thankful our coach is not Bruce Pearl.

Talk about AWFUL second half adjustments…

(And FT shooting, woof)
 
Northwestern is bad. How did this team get a 7 when a team like Memphis had an 8? I am surprised this game is as close at it is.
 
Auburn shooting 3-19 in the second half, that's the difference.

Not to mention they're under 50% from the FT stripe. Broome alone is 6-16.

I agree. The teams we've struggled against the most this season are Xavier and Marquette. Neither of them are very athletic, they play ok defense, but they can score like hell. Arkansas is the opposite, they play great defense with a lot of great athletes, but they definitely struggle offensively.

I’m not so hot facing athletic players who can get to the rack.

He’s 6’7 but strong and is as good a leaper as Andre is. KU would probably struggle with our centers, but both our centers would struggle to guard Adams. They might need Udeh to play more minutes than usual.

But the issue is Alex handling Wilson, Andre on Dick and Hawk on McCullers. All those guys attack the rim, and KU is bigger at each position.

Too bad we won't find out. Would've loved to see Adams try to D Sanogo, lol.

No one can hang with our A game. Just can’t guarantee we get one.

If we can get 20 points from our bench were much deeper and also play with much different style than most teams with our four out subs. That will be hard to beat. Injuries are also hurting teams with a high seed. The fourth and fifth year players make any games much tighter and result in upsets. We are young but have a well balanced bench. St Mary's likes to play a long slow clock and low point totals. We need to play fast and press. Quick out of the gate. Play to our clock. Our "A" game will flow from that.

A ton of credit to Tramon Mark for stepping up. I'm trying to think of Newton and Hawk being in foul trouble and Alleyne or Joey going off for 26... and I'm not seeing it.
