7th in the country in block rate and 20th in offensive rebounding rate (132 defensive end is solid too). this adds good depth inside and takes pressure off of the perimeter defense (esp if we stay four out). great add
i agree that this feels worse. they made so many silly mistakes all year
contrast this feeling with illinois fans i know. they got beat straight up and can’t really complain
thank you! agree on the 2/3 seed talk i think we should be looking good for 2 based on bracket matrix but who knows
for the conf tournament i’m not even sure who i would want to play, think we can win or lose vs any of the top 6
if we win saturday, do we move to second in the conference? 12-5 better than 12-6 kansas or is there a penalty for not playing all 18 conference games?
Another comp could be Georgia in 2008 at 17-17. They ended up a 14 seed and lost first round as well. They finished 91 in kenpom and we are currently 95.
I've liked watching Matthews play now that he's up to speed a little bit. Just had a bad turnover but he'll learn to avoid dribbling baseline like that
