81-64 Clones because why the hell not?
He’s no showed the first two games. This would be a great time for him to go off.
per Torvik, the last 10 games we've held opponents to 26% shooting from 3.Some initial thoughts on the analytics - I'll write on their players later:
- The bright red box really stands out amongst a bunch of green. Our defense is #2 in forcing turnovers. Their defense is the third worst in the country! On top of that, we've been really REALLY good at taking care of the ball recently - our last 5 games we average only 6 turnovers, which is crazy low.
- For the #1 offense, there really isn't anything they do at an elite level. They aren't Top 15 in any metric that KenPom measures, but they are basically top 100 in everything.
- On offense Illinois is basic right at the average for point distribution (points from 3, 2, FT) and 3pts attempted. They do have a lower than average assist rate, due to the amount of isolations they run
- Our defense allows a lot of 3s (but at a quite low success rate over the last couple months) and is 9th best in limiting scoring on 2pt shots. Their defense is opposite, opponents take a very low percentage of shots from 3 and they give up the 8th most points on 2pt shots - especially in the mid range
- For all the chatter from their fans about "pushing it in transition" and how no one can stop them, they really don't play all that fast on offense, about average. We do tend to cause very long possessions with our defense.
No showed?
He had some critical plays all over.
Hope they win, but will not meltdown if they lose.
Not nervous, looking forward to the game
Been a great year hope it continues. Next year barring an exodus of key players they will be preseason top 10. So lots of good things ahead.
You beat me to it.
Tre is not the kind of player who has to put up a 15/8 for him to have a good game. He's been just fine in the tournament so far; he hit an absolutely huge shot for us in the Washington State game.
I don't feel good. Hope I'm wrong.
It's been working, leave him beAnd, once again, you wrote the exact same damn thing before both of our games in the tournament, and look at how that's turned out.
I would like to give you the benefit of the doubt and think that you keep on writing this as a good luck charm, but since you did your best to crap all over our win against Kansas earlier in the season I have to think you're being serious. But GTFO with this negative energy!
I don't feel good. Hope I'm wrong.
Was in Lutsen during a ski trip maybe 17 years ago. It was -50 when we got there. Beautiful area though.Duluth? Maybe Lutsen.
I agree with this - there are 3 specific calls that could determine the outcome:I think end of day it comes down to how it's officiated.
If they are whistle happy ISU will be challenged to pull it off
Generally speaking once you make it north and/or west of the Dells you're safe.
