Boogs v Coogs ( Round 1 THE TOURNEY)

Interested to what the line is. AU should win pretty comfortably. CofC has some decent players but AU is just on another class athletically

Doesn’t look like either Coogs or Clemson has any scoring bigs in terms of paint/post up stuff. Neither look like they excel at hitting the glass.

CoC was statistically the best defense in their conference. That concerns me a bit.
They were just talking about NM and I wouldn’t be surprised if they beat Clemson. They apparently having the 2nd best rebounder in the country?

As long as we’re not up by 10 at halftime, I sort of feel halfway ok about this game. The game against bama was the biggest, soggiest shit sandwich of a game that I’ve seen (watched a replay) AU play in a while. Heartless, soulless, emotionless in the second half. Came out of the half, got run, quit. Absolutely pathetic and embarrassing. They better get their shit together or their going to be embarrassed again real soon. /rant

I got the feeling they approached the SECT about like I did. Was stoked and celebrated the regular season title. Only cared about the NCAA tourney unless we somehow got to the SECT title game and tried to make myself care more after we drew bama but couldn't muster a real effort.

Hopefully that's all it was and signs of the obvious end of the road.

I hope you’re right. But I believe losing Mac really screwed up our rotation/depth and Bryce getting hurt has changed the way he and the other shooters approach the game and they all press too hard. And I don’t see anything fixing it anytime soon. We should still handle CoC, though. But will we?

Oh I don't have us doing anything other than maybe making it to a matchup with KU and getting stomped. We're certainly not the same. But I also think that showed in the regular season games and the SECT game just looked like something different. That looked like a team playing like they were relieved they won the regular season title and looking past the SECT. That's why it looked even worse than the road losses at UF and Arky in terms of effort IMO.

I've got us as 70/30 to beat CoC and then 50/50 to get past Clemson or NM. With Mac I'd have us at 99/1 and 80/20 in that spot.
 
Gonna pump some shine for a minute. I really like our draw. CoC is a guard-heavy offense that likes to slow the pace and doesn’t turn the ball over. They shoot pretty well. They don’t rebound very well, they give up the 3 a good bit, and they play one of the slowest paces in all of college basketball (324 in KenPom’s adjT, similar to UGA’s tempo). I think we match up well from a size perspective and a lot of what we do well they don’t.

Clemson and Kansas won’t be easy opponents, but neither of them frighten me like a Duke or Michigan St would due to their size and length. Clemson is stout defensively and Kansas is very much like us.

IMO this tournament comes down to how well Bryce and Jared shoot. If they’re making the 3, we’re going to play well. If not, it might be a short trip to San Diego.

If we win, I'd rather play Clemson than New Mexico St.

Just watched the highlights of the Coogs' CAA Championship game. Those dudes were down 15 points and had 29 points in the game with about 16 minutes to go, and they ended up scoring 54 in the last 16 plus OT. When they got rolling, Northeastern couldn't stop them.

Someone who might be able to shed some light on College of Charleston is @GregMadia . Charleston played James Madison twice this year.

Greg, any way you could give us a scouting report on the Cougars?
Dukes played them tough a couple times. Blew a late lead at home and lost in OT.

I'll let Josh handle this question. I do the JMU football coverage and he does the hoops. He can probably give you something pretty detailed since he's seen the Cougars.
