I'm going to miss the game live, because I plan on going to church. I'm still under the weather and haven't been able to leave the house in a week, so I'm looking forward to it. So fam you all have to hold it down for me until I can watch the replay later in the afternoon. Here's something about Wright State, can be a tough matchup for the Bulls.
Wright State Starting Five
6-0 JR G - Keaton Norris(5.9 Pts, 2.7 Rebs, 5.1 Asst)
6-5 SO G - Logan Woods(9.7 Pts, 2.6 Rebs, 1.7 Asst)
6-3 SR G - Alex Huibregtse(16.7 Pts, 4 Rebs, 3 Asst)
6-6 SR F - Jack Doumbia(8 Pts, 5 Rebs)
6-8 JR F - Brandon Noel(23 pts, 9 Rebs)
The guy I highlighted is the guy USF has to control because I do not think they can stop him. Those numbers above are his season total, but in this tournament he has been putting up video game numbers. Noel is averaging 26.5 Pts, 6 Rebs, Shooting 63% overall, 71% three-pt line, 100% from the Free Throw line. Reynolds will not be able to guard him, so the smart thing is to feed Reynolds the ball early and often and have him go into the chest of Noel to see if he can get some early fouls on him. If they do not, then Noel will likely get Reynolds off the floor pretty quick either with foul trouble or fatigue.
Overall Wright State is an excellent shooting team, (50% FG, 35% 3Pt, 75% FT) and they average 80 PPG as a team. Wright State matches USF in steals per game, Assts, and rebounding. The biggest advantage in WSU favor is obviously the shooting. As you see by the sizes listed above, Wright State is not a very tall team, but they spread the floor and use a lot of screen motion to free shooters and get the matchups they like. They are a good passing team because of it. They come in with a record of 4-3 with losses to Troy, Bradley, and Mark Pope's Kentucky Wildcats. In the UK game they were overwhelmed by the athletic talent, and lost 103 - 62 in both teams' 1st game of the season. Pope is a better offensive coach than Calipari so Kentucky is really good again. Wright State's most notable wins are against Princeton, and Miami(OH). Solid wins but both of those teams don't seem as good early as they have been at times in the past. If Wright State beats USF it will be their best win of the season imo. USF is still very talented, even though they haven't played up to their standards as of yet.
USF could give up another 90+ points in this game if their defensive communication is once again lacking.
