Calling rockiee to set us all straight but I thought I'd start the discussion with an article i found.
247 tale of the tape


Long story short they're better shooters than us everywhere but the free throw line.

We need to generate turnovers this game and score off them. Should be a huge advantage for us.

Other than that look for defense to play a game of anyone but teddy Allen can have the ball.

We should be the much more efficient team here we just need solid defense and not an ohnotae kinda night.

Been busy but wanted to make something at least a little brief

Offense

-Slow paced but not as slow as Vermont

-Poor FT shooting team but great at getting to the line

-Average from 3

-Turn the ball over very often

-Good offensive rebounding team

Defense

-Great FG% defense

-Don't force many turnovers

-Solid defensive rebounding team

-Will give up open 3s

Misc.

-Very tall team, complete opposite of Vermont

-Allen takes 31% of their shots (for reference JD takes 32% of ours)

Bottom line

I think on defense it is fairly straight forward, make anyone but Allen beat you. Easier said than done though. Allen doesn't have a high assist rate so even running an extra defender at him if needed might be successful. Boxing out will be crucial as well. They can get sloppy with the ball at times so our defensive pressure should naturally force turnovers.

I don't think there is anything special to exploit on defense. Can probably get away with being more aggressive than normal since they don't really force many turnovers. We should get a decent amount of open looks so knocking down some of them will be important.

They are just a solid overall team with an excellent head coach.
