I love this. It helps the semi-casual fans, like myself.

They lost to cuse by 30. Granted cuse only put up 60 something and UKMC had to play against the zone

They have not played Cuse. Cuse defeated Eastern Washington 66-34. Cuse does play Morehead State tomorrow.

You’re right. No clue why I thought they played them. My bad

Remember Loyala Chicago went to the final 4. 14 point loss to Iowa ain’t too bad. Mckissic will hit 6 threes.

Their PG is 5 8, so he is going to get cooked on defense.

Because he is playing against our 5'9" giant PG?

I think Boeheim uses that. That's why I won't shake hands with him.

Best part about the Boneyard is the actual correct information which can be found here. This is great, I would read this every game. Much appreciated.

It's good. Now you're in for 25+ Games. No sick days.

Very helpful
Thanks!

 

[Hey Adrien!]

UMKC is a good sized roster to allow a different rotation of players for matchups. Doubt we'll see as many 4-guard lineups much today. Below is UMKC's roster in order of minutes played:

30+ mpg
6'3 170

20-28 mpg
5'8 150
6'3 195
6'7 225
6'7 210

15-19 mpg
6'9 225
6'8 220
6'10 230
