Florida or Colorado?
« on: March 22, 2024, 03:47:21 PM »
We'll play who we play and should beat either team, but as we saw today we can't assume that.

Based on matchup, what's the preference?

According to KenPom, Colorado has a much better defense.  I know FL lost one of their best big guys. 

For those who have watched more of both teams than me, any preference?

Both Florida and Colorado like to play at our tempo.

Florida. Both are good offensively, but Florida much more vulnerable defensively.

Florida's OR% is very good bit losing Handlogten levels the playing field quite a bit there.

Colorado, because it is where I got my second degree and now teach there (but, to be clear, I'll still be cheering for MU on Sunday!).

If we bring our second half effort and execution on Sunday, it won’t matter.

For me it’s Florida. Give me the team who’s best rebounder just broke him leg. Haven’t had time to figure out new rotations/minutes

This has been a shootout Howard.  The defense hasn't been great but both teams have made shots.  I think they said Florida averages 86ppg.

Florida is the kind of long athletic team that has given us problems. After 1st half I’m leaning the Buffs.

Are these teams this good on offense or do they just not play defense?

Colorado is 34th in AdjustedD, Florida 86th.  Colorado is 98.2, Marquette is 95.7

Huh, I'm watching and the Buffs seem like the longer team to me.

Where can we get advanced stats in terms of how teams guard the PnR?

Just based on the eye test, MU would thrive putting Lampkin in PnR actions away from the basket. Slow as molasses

Both these teams are shooting the lights out.  Worried about both.

They've been really good on the offensive end.

They do a lot of cutting on offense that I think our guys will feast on defensively.  Stevie could have a big game.  They’ll get buckets but I think we could score 20-30 off turns
