really not a great card from my point of view.. not many gms and honestly a lot of gms with tough lines. im guessing/hoping we have a monster card for wed considering how thin these last few have been...surely we can find one or 2 worth playing tho..
vols+6..ive been pretty adamant in my feelings bout scary all season, i just dont think they are a very good team. another team that built the majority of their resume playing a bunch of bottom feeders out of conf. sure they have a couple decent wins, 1 being at home against okie st in a early start gm, im not that high on okie lite and that was a very good spot to be catching them. the other a neutral site gm vs isu, impressive sure but it one gm and another against a team that is way more flawed than some think..
since conf play has began scary's defense has been allowing 15 more pper100 possessions while the offense has gotten about 7 pper100 worse. their already poor turnover rate has went up and they are fouling at a even higher clip than before when they already ranked among the worst in div 1. on the other hand vols defense has gotten stingier than they were, their rebounding has improved, and they have really taken to grinding teams down. a big part of scarys struggles in conf is the fact the tempo slows tremendously and you better believe vols will grind them down into a half court gm where possessions become way more valuable and a team like scary that does not value the rock will really suffer. vols will create more turnovers, most likely have a slight rebounding edge, and they will be at the charity stripe more often ..
im not trying to say vols are some great team either because clearly they are not. they are just a team that is seemingly built better to handle the grind of conf play where the teams are familiar with one another, there less possessions, and the gm almost always turns into a half court battle.. to me this gm is a pk on a neutral court and i dont think scarys home court is worth all that many points. think we talking a one or 2 possession gm one way or the other so taking the points seems to make the most sense..
other than that there one more i am eying really hard and will almost assuredly play it at some point, and that is dayton at davidson. waiting cause seems like i may be able to get another point or so and no real risk if it goes down cause im actually more interested in the ml.. just realized the flyers were ranked so it the dreaded ranked road dog vs a unranked team. luckily that doesnt worry me any longer.. ill talk more about this one later but it another one where im confused on why i see a lot of ppl on davidson, i get they have been incredibly tough in their gym for some time but this a new conf and i just dont think i could create a team that to me seems to be a perfect matchup for dayton.. for some reason ive been liking a lot of road teams these last few days but not like that was my intention going in..
