[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 838417, member: 282"] Wow. Is there an ACC write-up that good? So, what I read and saw: [LIST] [*]They have 3 guards and two forwards—no big “bigs” [*]Their tallest “starter” players are 6’7” or 6’8”. They have a 6’11” sophomore who seems to be down on the depth chart (?? not sure about that ??) [*]Boy, they’ve mastered “get old, stay old”. [*]They went 12-11 last year [*]They were nearly 37% as a team in 3 pt % [*]They were 160th in offensive rebounds and 222nd in defensive rebounds. It looks like an opportunity for us to get off the rebounding snide. (We were ranked 298th in offensive rebounds and 334th in defensive rebounds last year, so we were deep into a pit of no rebounding last year. It’s amazing the numbers can even go that low 😳) [*]They aren’t a “system” team, according to the forecast. They’re very low in assists; 12.1 assists/game low. But, we were high in assists at 15.8, so it’s not as big a number you might guess. [*]Vegas seems to like us by 10.5; I don’t trust Vegas in the early season, though. Or the late season. [/LIST] It looks like a game where we need to start hot, get them to give up, play good team defense—especially against the 3, and get a lot of rebounds. Starting like we did last year against Mercer and GaState would be horrible. I’d expect Usher to play really well in this game. We could use good games out of our frontcourt. If we were ten games into the season, I feel like we’d roll over them. In game 1, I hope that we play well enough as a team to get assists, run plays together, and know our defensive assignments. We have enough youth on the team that I hope we know how to play together. We’ll see, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [/QUOTE]
