He is like 4-18 for a respectable 22.2%

Somehow that is an improvement over the rest of the season

No one draws fouls for minor contact on 3s like RoJo

Jesus Christ. No idea how he pulls that off

Just tuned in.

Pleasant surprise.

How have we looked overall?

Offensively:

-Guys are looking for open man
-Off ball movement resulted in open cuts
-Inside passes from driving player
-No one is freelancing for the most part
-Purifoy has realized he can play inside the arc, looks rusty but promising
-Brown is looking good from 3/overall


Defensively:

LSU sucks. Hard to say

Pear was getting on guys and looked like they were fixing things he got on then about

Had to have that one and we won it the way we should. These next 2 games are huge for NIT hopes

On a points scored per possession basis, we outperformed LSU season/SEC avg by a pretty good margin

Looked a lot better tonight. Hopefully it'll springboard us to a good finish to the season.

We shot the ball well from 3 and rebounded well. Defense wss still mediocre at best and we aren't feeding the post enough. Still, a good win to get the bad taste out of the mouth. Would be nice to beat Arky.

When well the OP be updated?

If we end up with 21W we don't make the dance as at large bid (17W + 4 more W)

To even have an outside shot we need to end with 22 W including at least one win over U.K./UF in SECT


To be a near lock, we need to get to 23W which is win out + 3 SECT W

Gene is right. LSU did nothing for our RPI. MO will actually hurt our RPI, so two more wins does very little for us. We gotta win out impressively, and win a couple in the tourney, to even attract fringe bubble attention.

At this point, the NIT is reasonable. We still need to win 2 more for that. Puts us at 19-13 with the SEC tourney to play.

We are 0-6 vs RPI top 50 and 4-10 vs top 100

We don't deserve to make it in with less than 23W total which means winning 6 in a row and losing SECT final

We have a shot w 22 W only because how absolutely garbage the bubble is

Also to add to the above, they do use KenPom in selection and our ability to shite the bed is bad for LenPom


Essentially KenPom uses adjusted scoring margin/efficiency , so all those 20 point leads we blow despite it not being in real doubt show up as close wins
