Thought I'd start a new thread since we know when & where we will be playing.
Manson has speculated they might pair us with W&M. That would be a tough draw. 19-12 overall and 11-7 in the Colonial. RPI is 95. We thought we were good at FTs (5th nationally at 79.2%)? They are FIRST at 81%. Oh yeah, they are also first in 3 point % at 43.4. Needless to say they can shoot.
Why didn't they win more games? On paper it looks like this may be a game where we actually have an edge in athleticism. Better defense and rebounding, and I doubt they have a good matchup for Scottie. Makes sense geographically, but I wonder if they wouldn't want W&M to host a first round game. It would be a great game, and pretty special for a certain FR swing player on the Flames. We would need to build on the improved 3 point defense we showed in our last few games.
