I know I know. I want the one seed. Trust me. Too stupid of reasons why I said the other statement.

According to kenpom. They are 16th, we are 20th..
We would be underdog by his projections. We are a 4 point underdog @SMU Would either be even or 1 point underdog on neutral Last edited by justinhub2003; 02-07-2017 at 02:11 PM. |

This means if we are even on a neutral court I (not Vegas) would put us as 6 point dogs at Moody which is significant. I am not predicting a loss but we will have to play extremely well. We have done it there before. We have a special team...but obviously they do too. |

We have enough talent this year to win when some of our players are flat. Washington, Clark, and Cumberland have been doing some heavy lifting lately. Not sure what is going on with Evans but he has a tendency to be indecisive with the basketball. He dribbles around too much trying to get a little too cute. Contrast Evans with Cumberland who is VERY decisive...he's either letting one fly from deep or making one or two dribbles and heading to the bucket. Evans needs to just decide if he's going to shoot or drive and stop dilly dallying with the ball (ala Thomas). Once he simplifies his game...he will take off again.
KJ has been having a rough go lately. Last 4 games he's shooting about 25% from 2 and 3. Averaging about 5 points. Cumberland on the other hand is knocking down 60% from 2 and around 50% from 3 averaging 15 over the same stretch. We have 3 players kicking it into gear and 3 who need to get it going if we want to continue our run. Troy has been a little off lately too...he has averaged around 2 rebounds his last 5 games but the previous 7 games he averaged around 7. If we can put it all together we are a top 10 team...but we need to get Evans and Troy operating on all cylinders again to be a great team in March. |

I actually think Cumberland still sometimes passes up wide open shots. And instead drives and then kicks. He needs to take that first wide open shot but I think he is mildly reluctant to shoot "too much" as a freshman. Mick has talked about the basketball gods punishing him sometimes for not taking the open look.
He really showed out for Xavier and I'd love to see him have his first great road performance of his career @SMU. If he shows up, and Evans shows up, we can win but if Evans stays quiet, Cumberland is non existent on the road and we're left with relying on the bigs only, it could get ugly. Need to hit 3's to keep them from clogging the lane like they like too. |
