UConn -2.5 v Nova

Is Nova going to ISO? I think our guards are too big to try that. They were doing it against the Hall, but it just slows things up and keeps their offense static.

They’ll go for it. That’s what they do. It’ll be interesting to see if we allow them to go at our guys 1v1 or not
 
From here on out it’ll come down to in game management when the game gets tight or we get down.
 
If we keep Armstrong and Whitmore under 20 combined, we win. When those two are playing well, Nova is hard to beat. Dixon and Moore will get their points.

I know you love nothing more than to hate on Jackson, but why do you think teams aren't completely ignoring him? We've changed our offense, specifically the positioning of Jackson and Karaban, so that Jackson can't be ignored on offense. He's not hanging around the 3 point line anymore, he's cutting to the basket and getting himself in spots where he can make passes for wide open shots or gets to the basket for layups/dunks

I really don’t want to hate on Jackson. Honestly. He’s an incredibly hard worker and I even said in my post the recognition he and Hurley deserve.

I hope your right.

But if I’m the opposing coach that’s the hill I’m going to die on. Let Jackson beat you offensively.

I’ll say Creighton and Xavier’s defensive game plan was taken to the extreme compared to Providence, Hall, DePaul, Marquette. At times they literally would have their back to him.

Perhaps they won’t now that Jackson/Hurley have changed. I hope you’re right.

It’s also interesting because vegas has been pretty much 1:1 with kenpom on our games this year but we’re 5 point favorites there.

5 point is also almost exactly the Sagarin predictor.
 
I nailed the spread a week ago. It's definitely respect for Nova (and road ranked team at unranked team on senior night primetime).

Let opposing coaches do that; Andre will get easy dunks all day if defenses ignore him.

Hurley has changed how we use him on the offense, he's basically living on the baseline. Other teams have ignored him from time to time and he's made them pay by getting offensive boards, catching lobs from guards that are penetrating, and being available when other teams double Sanogo for an easy dump off and dunk. He's also been screening which either gets open looks for our shooters if his defender doesn't come up to the perimeter, or has opened up the paint if he does.

This. Love how Action Jackson lurks on the corner. He’ll swoop in if he sees a lane to the hoop and his teammates can always kick it out to him as a bailout at times. Good stuff
 
Got to Wells Fargo a little early, place is a ghost town zero Villanova fans in sight.

Honestly a little surprised. Just a few families tailgating in good Philly fashion.

Makes one kick themselves lol

I’ve been a little skeptical of the team (namely Hurley) given the slide we had but man had I just bet nothing but UConn I’d be making some decent money
