B1G expectations

I worry most about three-point shooting. Boo was fantastic, Langborg was clutch, and maybe Berry will have to work harder to get open shots this year without Boo. I just hope improvement by Barnhizer, Martinelli, and Hunger, along with the addition of Windham and Leach, gets NU close enough that we won't feel it.

Cats were the only team in B1G to have 3 guys average 40%+ from 3. In the history of the league.

So, yeah, safe bet to say we probably won't get there this year. What would work? Probably 35%+ - but would need at least 3 guys to average that to space the floor enough.

Don't worry. TheC is worrying for ALL of us.

Good test for NU. It is an experienced team. They have a Boo-sized guard who can shoot (Whitney) and a sightly bigger guard (Higgins) who can also shoot. These are the top two scorers, so it seems pretty clear what must be done defensively.

Might see a lot of smaller lineups for NU. Their bigs don't seem to do much on offense.

They have a Matt-sized veteran big (6'11 260) named Coniff who was off the bench last year. Another experienced Hunger-sized big (6'10 240) who also came off the bench and did not do much on offense. Their other bigs are first years.

Their biggest frontcourt scoring threat might be Parolin, who averaged about 11 pts a game, but had "meh" games against PSU (26 min, 4pts, 7 reb), NC (22, 7, 5) BC, (18,8,4).

I am going to assume this will be somewhat familiar territory for Leach. He must know at least some of these guys.

Also a great opportunity for Windham to get some good minutes. Mullins too.

Matt can get 12-15 minutes of conditioning him. Drop a few Nicholbombs and stuff anyone who tries to shoot in the paint.

Better opportunity for Hunger. Try to exploit some matchups inside. See what he learned this offseason.

Doesn't seem to be much interest/concern about Lehigh tonight. They play in the Patriot League so they got game. With Brooks out and the truism that anything can happen in an opening game, seems to me there should be some concern. They have two all-league returning players. Anyway here's a brief review.
