IF we can hit about 70% of our 3s for the 2, 3, 4 games, whatever we have to play in B'ham, AND!! actually play some defense....we can go dancing! I'll say that right now. But....can we shoot 3s at that pace over a several game span? That's tough, even for a good-shooting team, which we are not, particularly. We beat UTEP by shooting close to 50% from the arc and benefitted from about 15 unforced errors by them. Had UTEP not thrown the ball away so much, they woulda been up 12-15 at the half, and game over. UTEP lost...Tech did not win that game.
UAB was something like the youngest, or in the top 3 youngest team in the nation last year. Everyone expected them to be VERY good this year. I have not seen them play this year. But had them the clear favorite to win it all, both regular season and the tourney....and having home court is a big help. But, they are the best team in the league. Marshall? MTSU? they are both playing well, but I haven't seen them either. Now that football is over, I will start watching more hoops. By the time March gets here I'll have a pretty clear picture about who's who and who's legit.
