I don't think they got exposed. I just think they shot the ball really, really bad. Missed a ton of open, looks. Especially Norvall.
Zags giving Saint Mary's everything they can handle
- Thread starter Cat_Incognito
- Start date
Richards and EJ make more mistakes on offense than any player in the Cal era. They give up 3 times as many points as they get.
That doesn't happen with Travis on the floor.
Arkansas significantly better than Wake Forest.
Virginia Tech slightly better than Ole Miss
Call all that an overall wash.
Tennessee/North Carolina wash. That leaves what....Florida v Syracuse? Id say Syracuse is better this year, I honestly may have watched them twice this year I don't know. Florida is very inconsistent this year.
Anyway, the point is the "disparity" you see is bunk. And even if you want to break that down to argue it further....its irrelevant because when we played those teams on both of our schedules is what it is. The ACC has 6 teams under .500. The SEC only 4. So what about the stretch where you were playing Pitt, BC, Miami, ND etc. Woe is me!!!! Murderers row!
. ICuse is much better team than those two squads and when one of your key players gets injured in game, its tough for the squad to emotionally get it together to compete.
All of losses besides Gonzaga for Duke were due to awful circumstances.
Hopefully we have better luck going forward and America will get to see the juggernaut that waxed UK by 34, hammered Texas Tech by double digits and beat UVA on the road by 10 again.
Know Be careful What you wish for but I hope MD plays Duke in the sweet 16 in DC!!
Apples to Oranges. They lost to the 2 good non conf teams they played (Louisville and MSU), then played a crap schedule all the way through.
So Cam has 18 charges on the season. 25% of his fouls are charges. 22% of his turnovers are charges. He has two games, Texas Tech and Wake Forest, where he picked up three charges.
EDIT: @dukedevilz please fact check this.

Most people forget that Gonzaga was beating Tennessee 64-55 with 6 minutes left. UT caught serious fire down the stretch, making 7 of their final 9 shots, including 5 of 6 from 3. I felt like that was a game that they probably should have won... But like I've said in times past, I've never felt comfortable with Gonzaga's defense. They're capable of winning the whole thing, but not sure I completely trust them.
Saint Mary's is now rated higher than Marquette. I remember watching them play LSU earlier in the season, and they were tough. Took LSU down to the wire, losing by 4.
...As far as Reddish, Idk. I swear he has one of the lowest percentages of points per possession when driving down the lane. It seems like he either turns the ball over, or it's a charge. Unlike RJ and Zion, though, he doesn't seem to get the same kind of preferential treatment - drives me batty. It's been really, really odd, to be honest.

Blind Resumes: Team A: 4-3 against Quad1, 26-0 otherwise. Team B: 2-6 against Quad1, 24-0 otherwise. Both lost in conference tournament final.
Team A is Gonzaga who may get a No. 1 seed and Team B is UNC Greensboro who may get left out. ESPN's Strength of Record (SOR) has the two ranked 8th and 31st respectively.

Saw this earlier. Obviously one resume is better, it's just crazy one will get a 1 seed and one left out completely.
I can't find a simple charge statistic on there. It's broken down by isolation drives to the right, isolation drives to the left, pick and rolls to the right, etc. I've noticed that some of them have overlap, though. So, I actually went game by game and counted them up manually.
