Get a truck stop on the thruway, you two.

Marsh remains a steady voice of reason on this board. Knowledgable and optimistic - what a combination! Can give you the starting 5 for LIU Brooklyn as well! Not that I don't love you less level-headed reactionaries as well

You biotch...you told me I was your only one!

LIU Brookyln Blackbirds (24-8) – Team Scouting Report

Conference: Northeast – 2012 Regular Season Champions (16-2)

RPI – 94
SOS – 289
Opponent SOS – 268
0-0 vs. Top 25 RPI
0-1 vs. Top 50 RPI
2-1 vs. Top 100 RPI

Notable Opponents:

Iona – (lost 100-84)
Penn St. – (lost 77-68)

Season Summary:

LIU Brooklyn won the Northeastern Conference regular season title for the second straight season. They edged out Wagner by one game (they also beat Wagner both times they played them this season) to win the regular season title.

They finished with 24 wins and 16 wins in conference. Their non conference schedule was not very strong. The two marquee games they played were Iona and Penn State and they were beaten by both teams. They play Robert Morris in the Northeastern Conference championship game with the winner advancing to the NCAA tournament. In their only meeting with Robert Morris they did lose to the Colonials.


Team Summary:

LIU Brooklyn returned many players from last year’s squad including 3 starters. Their top 3 scorers average in double figures and they have 2 players who average just under 10 ppg. This team can score with the best of anyone as they averaged 81.6 ppg this season which is 3rd in the nation. They do share the ball well and average 14.8 assists pregame which ranks 41st in the country. This is not a great shooting team from behind the arc as they only shoot it 36% from three point range. They do however have the ability to put the ball in the basket as they are 29th in the country in FG% shooting 47% from the floor. They are a very good FT shooting team and average 73% from the charity stripe.

Much like many small conference teams that we are seeing this year, LIU Brooklyn lacks the size in their starting 5. They do not start a player above 6’7”. Despite their lack of size they are a good rebounding team that averages 38.6 RPG which ranks them 21st in the country.

This is not a very good defensive team as they average giving up close to 78 PPG. They do average 6.3 steals per game and 3.2 blocks per game. They are very prone to turning the ball over and average 16.3 turnovers per contest.

Player Summary:

Their best player is junior forward Julian Boyd. He is the 2012 Northeaster conference player of the year. The 6’7” forward averages 17.4 ppg and 9.5 rpg. He does not shoot much from the perimeter but did shoot 18-44 from 3 point range this season. He does get to the line a lot and is a good FT shooter at 74% for the season.

Along side Boyd on the Blackbirds frontcourt is first team all conference player Jamal Olaswere. The junior 6’7” forward averages 17 ppg and 7.6 RPG. He is also not much of a perimeter player only making 11 three pointers this season. He also does get to the FT line quite a bit shooting almost 75% from the stripe. He is prone to foul trouble and averages 3.5 fouls per game and also turns the ball over a lot for a front court player at over 3 a game.

LIU’s third starter is 5’10” junior guard CJ Garner. He averages 12.3 ppg and dishes out 3.4 assists per game. Despite being a perimeter player he has only made 7 three point shots this season. He is another player who likes to get to the FT line and averages over 80% from the stripe.

The second of the 3 guard lineup that LIU uses is senior 6’1” Michael Culpo. He averages 9.5PPG and 3.2 assists pergame. He is one of their best perimeter shooters and has made 69 three pointers this season and shoots it at 38%.

Their last starter is sophomore 5’10” G Jason Brickman. He averages 9.5 PPG and 7.2 assists per game which ranks 5th in the nation. He also is a threat from behind the arc as he has made 51 three pointers this season and averages 41% from behind the arc. Much like his teammates he is also a good FT shooter and shoots it at 81%. He is prone to turning the ball over as he averages almost 4 TO per contest.

The Blackbirds predominately play 3 people off of their bench. The first is junior 6’7” Kenny Onyechi. He averages 5.4 PPG and 3.3 RPG. The next is junior 6’1” G Brandon Thompson who averages 4.5 PPG and 2.5 RPG. Lastly is senior 6’7” forward Arnold Mayorga who averages 2.8 PPG and 1.9 RPG.


Final Summary:

LIU Brooklyn is a middle of the road mid major team that has some experience in the NCAA tournament. They were the 15 seed last season and lost to 2 seed North Carolina 102-87. They were able to keep the game close due to the fact that UNC turned the ball over 17 times and shot a paltry 3-17 from behind the arc.

This team does like to score and run and will not play a slow down style game. They do lack size on the frontcourt but do a decent job rebounding the basketball. They do not rely on the three point shot as much as a typical 16 seed would have to although they did make 11 three pointers in their first round victory over Sacred Heart in their conference tournament. The only shot 4-19 during their semi-final victory over Quinnipiac. This Achilles heel of this team is turning the ball over and this is something that will rear its ugly head when playing a top seed in the NCAA tournament.

Although playing in last year’s NCAA tournament will certainly help this team should they get in I do not see them being able to compete with a #1 seed unless they can limit the turnovers and shoot it very well from behind the arc. They will certainly score points but they will also give up a ton of points and I do not believe that they will be able to outscore one of the top seeds in the tournament.

5th best team in the Big east you mean. Lets get it right. We have to be the most ridiculed, nitpicked analyzed 31-1 team in college basketball history.
