We'll see.

ChiefMojo · 03-23-2013, 12:26 AM

Problem is neither UNC or Michigan are known to be not all that great defensively. So we will see.

penbrook · 03-23-2013, 12:28 AM

I see a major upset tommorow in Wichita st in beating Gonzaga.

Sure they could come out and play out of their minds, but the odds are against that. KU matches up horribly against Michigan.

KU shoots 53.9% eFG (ranked 26), and limits opponents to 41.3% eFG (ranked 1). KU's 3 pt defense is ranked 25th, and its 2 pt defense is ranked 1st. Michigan shoots 54.6% eFG (ranked 13), and limits opponents to . . . well, doesn't limit them much -- 47.9 (ranked 143). Michigan's 3 pt eFG is ranked 30th and their 2 pt eFG is ranked 10. KU defends both better than that.

It's not a bad matchup at all. It basically comes down to Michigan being a jump shooting team with no inside presence at all that doesn't rebound or go to the line. They don't turn people over (good news for EJ and Tharpe) and they will have NO ONE to stop Withey. So as much as he may be a "non-factor" on defense, he would most definitely NOT be a "non-factor" on offense.

This doesn't matter right now, though. Both teams still have to win the games in front of them.

KC_Connection · 03-23-2013, 12:51 AM

Well, that completely sucked. Talk about playing down to your competition. I don't think KU had any focus or energy in that entire game apart from maybe the few minutes it took them to build their 5-6 point lead. Complacency clearly remains a problem for this team. Fortunately, there shouldn't be any more room to be complacent in this tournament (at least you would hope). UNC is a dangerous team and should be perceived as a threat by us. With their quick pace, it should also be more entertaining than the exasperating shitshow we had to watch tonight.

We also saw the benefit of being a 1 seed tonight (as opposed to a #2). We were able to suck that badly and still win because we were playing a completely hapless opponent. If we were playing FGCU instead of WKU tonight, the outcome would have likely been completely different. Heck, if WKU even just made a couple more threes, they're right there.

Miami lost to an awful Wake Forest team on the road and a bad Georgia Tech team at home like two weeks before the tournament started. They deserve nothing.

ISU shoots 37.2% from 3 (41st in NCAA).
UNC shoots 37.5% from 3 (35th in NCAA).

Basically, they shoot a pretty similar percentage from out there, but ISU's entire offense revolves around the three ball. UNC's doesn't. They create a lot of shots through their transition game.

Chiefs Pantalones · 03-23-2013, 01:36 AM

Withey said in the postgame presser that they took them lightly and WKU was/is better than they thought.

UNC is not good basketball team? Good analysis

Mosbonian · 03-23-2013, 07:16 AM

Serious question here since I didn't watch any of the games last night (I was attending my daughters HS play)

How close was this game at the end? I saw the score ended up at 64-57 but was it even closer than that?
