Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 This is an interesting chart. Villanova apparently likes to shoot it from Chattanooga, Arizona really is a post/paint team, and Akron loves the top of the arc. I'd love to see our chart back in January; it'd probably look a lot different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illini Zip Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 1 hour ago, AkronAlumnus said: Not sure if it’s been mentioned yet, but another head-scratcher is the committee’s decision to place Michigan as a 5 seed. Not only did they win the B1G Tournament, but they did so by beating Purdue, Maryland, and Wisconsin — all of which received higher seeding. Just doesn’t quite add up! AND people want to expand the CFB playoff.. SMH. I believe Michigan is better than a 5 seed as well. But something to keep in mind is that the Big Ten loves having their championship game as the lead into Selection Sunday every year. It’s a marketing decision. But they also know that the committee has already made the hard decisions well before then and only minor tweaks are being made that day. Those late Big Ten tournament games are simply not factored in that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to sneak up when you possess nearly every quality found in a Cinderella/Bracket Buster. Outstanding guards, athletic roster, and depth. Not to mention Groce has been there done that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreed5120 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Arizona is likely going to play a large chunk of the game with both Awaka (think Okonkwo, but with a more polished inside game) and 7' Veesaar on the court at the same time. I'm inclined to think Akron will be forced to send hard double teams as no way we could leave one of our guards on an island against one of them. It will likely lead to some open looks for Arizona beyond the 3 point line. We're probably best trying to force Arizona to shoot 3s and rotate on defense as best as we can to prevent open looks. Praying that they shoot at, or more preferably under, their season average of 33.3%. Another key will be all 5 to attack the basket after a Arizona miss to secure a rebound. Arizona is too good to give 2nd or 3rd chance scoring opportunities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s the March Madness Live app that supposedly allows you to watch any game. It requires a TV provider log in. Use on any device or smart TV…free! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
