I think a lot of the problems you listed will plague/affect our games against the better teams in the league (Houston, Memphis, SMU) but I think USF is a team where we can work around a lot of those issues.
Against their only two opponents that are comparable to UC (V. Tech and RI), USF:
-forced them to shoot poorly from 3 (9/33 combined/27%), which should be concerning for UC, but neither team also took more than 17 attempts, so it clearly didn't hamper their scoring ability too much.
-defended horribly from 2. RI and VT both shot 65% from inside the arch.
-USF shot sub-40% FG and 30% 3FG in both games. Both RI and VT's Adj D is rated roughly the same or slightly worse than UC's.
-USF fouled 49 times and drew 44 fouls over the two games - both high rates. Their opponents capitalized by shooting 83% (47/56) from the foul strip in turn. USF shot 66% (33/50) during those two games themselves.
If UC really is a top 50-75 KP team then there should be a lot of weakness for us to exploit here.
