Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 18 Report Posted March 18 (edited) Arizona does not shoot the 3-ball very well. Their top 3 scorers (the only 3 that average double digits PPG) are all guards that shoot under 30% from 3. In fact, you have to go all the way down to their two lowest scorers to find quality 3P shooting. This is such a fascinating matchup because their weaknesses play right into our strengths, and our weaknesses play into their strengths. (The highlighted percentages in this first graphic are their bigs who have only taken a few 3P shots all season.) Edited March 18 by Let'sGoZips94 Quote

1981 grad Posted March 19 Report Posted March 19 (edited) Although this is the first meeting between Arizona and Akron, Here is a surprising stat that bodes well in our favor: • Arizona is 5-5 all-time against Mid-American Conference opponents Time to make it 5-6 Edited March 19 by 1981 grad 4 Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 19 Report Posted March 19 13 hours ago, MDZip said: UNC up by 40 RPI Rankings Pretty fascinating to revisit the RPI this year. While I fully believe there were crooked dealings getting UNC in, and in no way shape or form should UNC's AD or any current AD/commissioner/coach/etc. be on the committee, UNC probably did have a stronger argument than others to be included in the tourney field.

UNC getting their a$$ kicked by Duke multiple times this season counts for something I guess. Quote

Lets hope we play better than last week. I know that Groce always stresses toughness. I cannot say that this team is a very physical team. We are athletic but not very strong. If we are not a physical team, we better be able to shoot from outside. Quote
