USF
Not a whole lot of must wins this early In basketball.
But I’d say a clean sweep of this weeks games is a must. Have to beat USF and have to beat Georgia. We are favored to win both USF 60th in KP 162 in offense 60 in defense They defend the 3 extremely well and we shoot the 3 worse than most teams in the country. Alesis Yetna is under utilized thus far but if he wants to light us up he is more than capable and David Collins / Caleb Murphy will need to be contained without fouling. I think it’s an another game that goes down to the wire. And that’s concerning. In fact I don’t see a game on the schedule that this team is capable of blowing out. We may not have another 10 point win the rest of the way. 25% from 3 as team is about as bad as you can get. You’d hope this number does not hold as it would be the worst 3pt shooting team in the Kenpom era dating back to 1997 from Uc Only one cincinnati teams in that span has shot under 30% and that team is still 4% better than this team. |

As often as we can I hope we can keep these guys in for about 30 minutes or so
Vogt Eason Williams Dejulius Then find a hot shooter and keep them in the game. So far that has been Davenport. |

Vogt tends to struggle with physicality, Rap seems to struggle with everything, Eason is unknown, but hopefully practicing against Vogt helps him out. At PF they have Yetna, who was was projected to be one of the top players in the American last year before his injury. Eason is going to have his work cut out for him and if Eason gets in foul trouble, Davenport is likely going to really struggle with Yetna's size. At guard David Collins is one of those quick guards that always gives us fits. They are also a upperclassman heavy team, which may be to their benefit. I think this will be a nail biter, could go either way. Need Vogt, Eason and Keith to stay out of foul trouble. |

On paper, USF looks like a really tough team. FWIW though, their KP is 105, not 60.
They return 7 lettermen including 3.5 starters from last year's team, re-added an NBA-caliber talent in Yetna, along with a top 100 recruit in Caleb Murphy, and a couple high-major transfer bigs who come off the bench. So far they've been pretty predictable with their performances. They've decisively beaten the KP 200+ teams on their schedule (Stetson and FGCU). They've decisively lost to the KP top 100 teams they've played (Rhode Island and Va. Tech). And then they barely beat a KP 135 Wofford team. We went on a 36-11 2nd half run to beat them in Tampa for our penultimate game of the year last season. If Keith and Vogt can stay on the court then I like us to win comfortably. If not, then we're looking at a rock fight. |

I’m ready to give the new guys the minutes. At least they are exciting.

USF isn't doubling Vogt, Vogt is really good inside when he can just play 1v1.
USF is dominating us on the boards, Brannen is starting to realize that nobody on this team plays defense or rebounds. |

Less then halfway through the first and Keith picks up his second foul.
