How good is Wright State ?

[Sea Ray]

Forgot all this politically correct one game at a time crap lol. What do we know about Miami ??

Exactly. The team should not be looking ahead to rd 2 but us fans sure should. I like our chances to get to the second week. We can't complain about our draw

Real interested in Miami vs Loyola game

I know that Wright State took them into overtime.

These are the highlights from GATECH perspective... they lost. 85-81 We honestly might lose.

Not good enough to beat UT, not even close.

 

[UTK]

No 14 seed is “good” but of course upsets happen.

NCAA Motto: DONT TAKE ANY TEAM LIGHTLY............FOCUS !! Any team can be BEAT in March Madness !!

 

[sport3500]

UT has an easy road to the Round of 32 with the bracket in Dallas.

 

[VolTexas]

Barnes has to pull on one mistake per possession.

 

[BruisedOrange]

These contests can be like a mismatch in boxing--the one who has nothing to lose can go all out, fight with abandon, take crazy risks, and because they have nothing to lose, play much more loosely than their higher-seeded opponent who may be more concerned with avoiding a loss.

I'm not saying "Fear the Raiders"... but I will point out that their colors are officially Hunter Green and Vegas Gold. They won't be concerned with making a respectable showing. They'll be gunning for one target, and they'll be willing to roll the dice to reach it.

So, Respect the Raiders.

Good stats, thanks for sharing. So pack in the zone and let them shoot bombs.

We are far to physical for a team like WS. Highly likely that it doesnt matrer what they do.

Miami is currently only a 1 point favorite over Loyola. If I'm not mistaken Loyola beat Florida this year

I agree. I don't see Wright State being able to handle both Williams and Schofield inside. I see them racking up a lot of fouls.

Yep. 65-59. Early Dec

Should win by 15+

I hope they don’t have a bunch of knuckleheads that can heat it up from behind the ark. Those type of teams always scare me. Nothing to lose, let it rip from 3 all game long

They got one guy who can. We should be able to handle that

 

[Recoil]

Not exactly on topic, but I would love to see Pons get a ton of minutes in this game.

If Bowden continues to struggle shooting the ball, his value is significantly diminished.

it’ll be invaluable getting Pons more minutes to get more comfortable on the offensive end.

Pons is an elite defender. Knox didn’t like it all when he was guarding him.

You saw something there that I missed?

No one as capable as Joakim Noah.

Not sure I can agree with you. Pons doesn't look ready. He's almost one of those guys you don't even know he's on the court because he isn't going to shoot, doesn't rebound very well and I saw him get blown by on defense a lot today. I say put Daniel in for Bowden.
