Man, this guy is trying to say whatever he can to hype his team up. No doubt your the underdog, your the 15 seed. But to even imply the FBI probe in the same breathe as our school is just plane funny. Then he starts talking like were this pampered team, really hope our players see this, and it gives them that much fire. Thanks Ron for prodding the bear.while this is a good solid team,were better. Better let your team know how hard we play and that you have not even come close to playing a team as physical as us. Good luck Georgia state, your really really going to need a lot of it.

They beat Baylor on the back of RJ hunter 2 years ago.

He will get his players amped up.We need to answer their intensity and whoop their ass.

The Tide Pods vs Kirkland Liquid Detergent one was pretty great.

Loved the random side convo about Grippo's too lol.

Wait, you really think he was implying that the FBI scandal has to do with us? That really makes me mad if that's the case.

We should be worried about any game. Respect your opponent, especially in a 1 game sample size where wonky things happen, especially if you let teams hang around.

That said, I've watched two of their games so far, and while they do have a lot of shooters, imo they are not a team that whips the ball around with crisp passes mixed with drive and kicks to find open shooters. Per synergy, their most efficient half court offense came from the PnR ball handler which I'd assume is mostly #15. Unless they get Cane/Jenifer stuck on him, I really just don't think he's capable of getting into the paint on our defense and creating efficient looks. He also looked to kinda just physically overwhelm guys on his drives. I don't think that is going to fly vs us.

They also somehow had a very good defense at the rim according to fg%, but they really only have 1 true big. And I don't think he ever had to face guys like Gary or Kyle throughout the year.

Whenever Gary and Kyle are on the court together, one of them should have a field day on the offensive glass. Both of them are 3+ inches taller and almost 30 lbs heavier than their 4 man.

They're outside the top 100 on kenpom in offense and defense despite being 96 overall. We're a pretty nice sized favorite, oddsmakers like our chances, virtually every computer rating and advanced metric have us as one of the top 7-8 teams that are title contenders. Yes title contender, not just F4 (even idk about that but that's the consensus)


Oh yeah... And umm... Well... we're also really f***ing good too, so there's that

Thanks for taking the time to watch them and give your analyses. I think someone on twitter said it best, "R.J. Hunter's not walking through that door."

Put Evans on Simonds. Don't switch too much. Guard the perimeter. Ball game!

Pretty much. Game plan shouldn't be complex vs them. All going to be about energy and execution.

I would like to UC come pound them from the jump though.

Now is not the time for 2nd half comebacks.

That's how I took it when I watched the interview. He mentioned it and then looks like caught himself and went into his bit about Wendys and Comfort Inn. At best he misspoke but it felt like an implication.

He does draw a lot of fouls, so we have to be careful with Evans.


But yea when I watched them, it was not a lot of great offensive scheming or movement. It was very basic offensive that had guys who could score.



I do think they will believe they can win. And its why starting fast and beating them early will kill their underdog spirit.

I really wish the AAC Championship game would have been on a Saturday.


Our Big win got past over really quick as we went straight into the selection show. Really wish the AAC would find a way to move it back a day

It happens but not often. 2012 two 2 seeds went down

My #1 concern in this tourney is Jacob Evans shooting.


Over his last 11 games he is 14-50 from 3 (28%) and his overall season average from 3 is down to 37%, it was well above 40 for most of the year.

Something isn't right with him. Either he's hurt, he isn't confident or his form is broken, but its in his head.

I want him shooting all week long to prepare. He need to get right. We cannot go to the sweet 16 hitting 13 3's in a 3 game span.

Well I do think we can go to the sweet 16 with poor shooting....but I don’t want to try!!

Gary isn’t going to let us lose in round 1. Round 2 is tougher and Gary will need some help from 1 of the other 4 scorers.

If Gary is Gary and Evans gets back to being Evans, we will be in the second weekend.

 

[bearcat23]

think he will bounce back
he had the ankle bothering but that should be gone
he couldve just had a bad week.
he's played well in our NCAA tourney games

He'll be alright once he gets a couple down.

Unless his finger is jacked up.

They matched us up with 3 very high level 3 point shooting teams. All of our potential matchups are near 40% from 3.

We can negate some of their shooting, but teams like Nevada have tall athletic shooters who can shoot over top of the defense.

We need to shoot well to win in the tourney.


I think Evans will get it together, or at minimum Cumberland, who loves big games.

Cumberland is such an underrated beast. He's really ended up having a great year.

Washington is a big advantage for us on the offensive end. Teams that aren't used to him will have no idea what's going on.
