After last night's game I see 2-4 with 1-5 possible. If we get to 3-3 I would take it.

What about last night's game concerned you?

 

Our starters didn't play a lot in the 2nd half and we still won handily. 

 

Was it the three point shooting?  Off night there, for sure.  But not characteristic of what we've seen from this team so far.  Possibly tired legs from playing Sunday?  Resting the starters for much of the 2nd half last night will probably help with that.

I think this stretch will be a success if we do a few things well.  I think if we do these things well, we will have our share of wins.

 

Play great defense without fouling.  For the most part, our defense has been above average.  To be the team we want them to be we have to pick it up a notch.  Our only game against a team with a pulse, we allowed them to score 87 points and shoot 49%.  Cincinnati is shooting 49%, scoring almost 90 per game.  Miami is shooting 51.9% and scoring 92 points per game.  We have to play games in the 60's or 70's to have success.

 

Continue shooting the 3 well.  Outside of the last game, we have been much improved shooting the 3.  The level of competition will improve drastically.  Teams will not allow White and McVeigh to have open looks from distance.  The question is can someone like Shields, Webster, Parker, or Watson pick up the slack?

 

Get to the free throw line and continue making them when you get there.  We are shooting 72.8% from the free throw line.  The only player struggling is Morrow, who is shooting 40% from the line.

Tennessee was one of the 50-50 games for me, so now I think 3-3 is more likely with a shot at 4-2.

FWIW, RPI Forecast has us as 4 point dogs at home Tuesday.

Has RPI Forecast reconsidered their prediction for Miami after this last few games?

 

 

Yeah, the predicted spread has gone down some and our odds of winning have increased.  They still haven't factored in the Tennessee win for us yet.

I think this will be the most evenly matched NU/CU game in years. I think it might be the most competitive, too. We won't have seen an environment like we'll see on Wednesday, though. I'll be curious to see how they handle that. I'm really anxious to see how that game plays out. NU hasn't won a regular season in Omaha vs. Creighton in 20 years. That is almost incomprehensible to me. Half of NU's roster wasn't even alive.
