Florida or Colorado?

[Vander Blue Man Group]

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?

Any idea when game times are announced for the second round?

Stetson

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.

That's nice. 

[ATL MU Warrior]

Was gonna say Colorado.  If the big guys is hurt maybe UF?

[Uncle Rico]

Marquette would turn over Colorado 20 times

[MUMountin]

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!). 

[HowardsWorld]

Both teams allergic to defense

[mugrad_89]

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

Both teams allergic to defense

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. 

[ATL MU Warrior]

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

[WellsstreetWanderer]

Both teams shooting well. Colorado has been hot of late. I'm leaning Florida

[ATL MU Warrior]

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

[Mu8891]

Very little defense

[Uncle Rico]

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.

[GB Warrior]

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

[mu_hilltopper]

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

[MuggsyB]

They've been really good on the offensive end. 

[Uncle Rico]

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
