So we're playing Baylor...

[JrodCuse]

What do we know about them besides they also play zone?

Good matchup? Bad?

 

[Madbiker]

Going to be an ugly low scoring battle of zones vs Baylor. Yuck.

Here is their team photo, if that helps.

Salt Lake City. Bring the oxygen tanks. Really good for a short bench.

 

[CorduroyG]

buddy buckets gonna be a zone buster!!!!

 

[CorduroyG]

bad omen. we lost to butler in salt lake

 

[Eric15]

Can we invite Etan to be our team's personal security guard in SLC?

 

[Madbiker]

What does Seth Davis do during the rest of the year?
Personal injury lawyer??

 

[Arangeman]

Baylor is athletic and can’t shoot 3’s

 

[Cusefan0307]

This will be a pickem to Cuse favored by 1.

Well, gonzaga is obviously a tough potential matchup in the second round. But we certainly drew the best perspective opponent there are out of the four number one seeds. We got a chance to make it to the second weekend.

Not sure if it's 100% of the time, but they do play a zone defense quite a bit. Different than ours though.

That couple hour window between when the field is announced and gametimes are announced is probably the lamest first world problem that drives me nuts.

I know he won’t, but if Battle is healthy, can we still start Buddy somehow?

 

[pearl31]

what's the status of that mikai mason dude?

 

[Madbiker]

How did St. John's get in? Net ranking 73 is 10 spots lower than next lowest team. Some in 50's left out.

For some reason we always seem to struggle against zone defenses. Mind boggling.

Hopefully somebody can fill me in on this. Did Buddy play any major minutes this year against zone teams? He and Hughes are going to be crucial.

I feel pretty good about this matchup.

Baylor Bears College Basketball - Baylor News, Scores, Stats, Rumors & More - ESPN

They lost their last 4 and 10-8 in Big 12

 

[Cuse House]

I like our draw very much. Think we got the weakest 1 and 2. Baylor and Gonzaga are both teams that don't shoot that well. Think if we get the support play we have been getting that we make it out of the first weekend.

I think we’ve been seeing it more lately and actually playing better against it. Key is Marek making decisions in the high post.

Great draw for us, think we get to 2nd weekend and winner of us and fla st wins this region. I think the acc gets all 4 final four teams!!!

Good things about playing Baylor:

- They play a zone as well so they won’t lut much ball pressure on us
- They don’t score very well in the paint
- They turn it over a decent amount and don’t force turnovers
- They foul a lot
- They aren’t that good from the line
- Despite being a good 3pt shooting team all year, they were ice cold the last month
- They aren’t big; their most used lineup is 6’a, 6’3, 6’3, 6’7, 6’8

Bad things about playing Baylor
- They’re beasts on the offensive glass and don’t allow a lot of offensive boards on defense
- they get to the line a decent amount
