They were 25-9, so it's not like they were a 14-18 team that won their conference tournament out of nowhere.

But they scored 55pts in their conference title game and they allowed 90 (and score 99) in the semis.

This game comes down to 1 thing - if they can make 3's. We've all heard about Giddy Potts and how good of a 3pt shooting team they are, I suspect that's how they'll try to beat us -- sure, they'll get their paint touches to keep us honest, but they're going to go down swinging. If they go something like 13/26 from 3, we will be in trouble. I'm not worried about rebounding or us offensively.

Looking at their title game vs. ODU:
6/16 from 3 (Giddy Potts was 4/5, Jaqwan Raymond was 2/4  everyone else was 0/7)
37% from the field
69% from the line
13 turonvers
They got outrebounded by 9

Semi-final vs. Marshall when they scored 99pts(who was 17-16 this year):
6/13 from 3 (Potts didn't make any; Raymond and Harris made 2)
59% from the field
76% from the line
13 turnovers
They got outrebounded by 6

They don't get a lot of production of their bench (until that random guy goes off for 30 against us)

It doesn't look like they shoot a lot of volume 3's, but hopefully they settle against us.
