I like our chances in game 1.
Always bad to assume in the tournament, but assuming we play UVA . . . I think we would have a 30-40 % chance to beat UVA.
FT shooting has been mediocre to really bad all year. That alone will get them beat against a good team.
These are things that are unusual for a Rick Barnes team . . . But are true of this year’s team:
1. Poor free throw shooting . . . To, at times, abysmal free throw shooting
2. Lots of turnovers and turnovers at critical times - for example, yesterday UT had cut it to one / had momentum / had...
Boswell . . . Cannot shoot.
Ament is getting held a lot.
It’s a simple equation - if Ament starts scoring, and gets to 12-14 - we win.
If he does not, we lose.
I don’t know. JG has been struggling from 3 of late. He shot the 3 over 40% last year. However, even if he is shooting it well . . . This team is short a legit 2 guard shooter / scorer.
Officiating is bad. We can’t shoot. Estrella disappears too much. Outside of JG we have zero guard play offensively on this team.
Defensively, this is one of Coach Barnes’ weakest teams.
Is the officiating bad? Yes. Is it a significant impact? Yes. Has UT looked like this a lot of late no matter officiating? Yes.
Announcer - UT is offensively challenged. đź’Ż
