On offense, they're a very good shooting team. They have an effective fg% of 55.5%, 12th best. They shoot 37% from 3 and 55.1% from 2. They don't get to the line often but when they do, they shoot 74.4%. They are also a good offensive rebounding team.
A solid defensive club, they thrive off an aggressive defense that leads the nation in turnover %. With a 25.9% rate and 12.1% steal rate, if they draw a team with sketchy ball handling, it'll be to their advantage. With the aggressiveness comes fouls. Similar to West Virginia, they foul a lot.
I mentioned Thomas Walkup, the highly efficient forward who is sixth in offensive rating scores 17.5ppg and adds 6.8rpg and 4.5apg. They also have two other solid seniors in Demetrious Floyd and Clide Greffard.
Of all the bracket busters, this is my favorite. Unfortunately, they didn't do a good job when given the chance in non-conference. Would like to see them on the 13 line and I'd consider them for a Sweet 16 run.
