Thoughts on this? I had planned on slamming NWs points under.Hammer the over
Doesn't look like the two programs have ever met (though they are 2-0 vs CCSU)Has UConn ever played Northwestern in men's hoops? I go back over 40 years and can't recall. Anyone?
Needs can play too, just ask AuburnNerds. Crush em
I feel like margin may dictate their pace.I’m trusting our defense here and going with NW total under at 60.5.
They didn’t score that against FAU in regulation and our defense is even better.
I could see that for sure. My hope is that St John’s had a 3rd game against us advantage and Castle can shutdown Buie, their main scorer.I feel like margin may dictate their pace.
If we're up by 12, they can't afford to plod along and use the whole shot clock.
Our defense has also sometimes been lacking against good-but-not-great competition (e.g. St. John's).
No snark here, just a question:Northwestern gets a lot of points from drives and kicks. Our scheme does a good job of not over helping. We're going to make them take mid-range and dribble jumpers over Castle, Newton, and Clingan. Their bigs didn't do much.
If Buie goes supernova, they can get 60, but they're going to have to earn it.
Their second or third guy is great in the mid-range, which is usually something you want to allow, but could keep them in it even if our defense is doing what it's "supposed to," i.e. denying 3s and layups.Northwestern gets a lot of points from drives and kicks.

It kind of looks like the Whalers logo upside down.
