Cincinnati vs East Carolina Game Preview, American Athletic Conference Tournament

Why Cincinnati Will Win

The Bearcats were able to get by East Carolina twice even though it didn’t shoot all that well and didn’t own the boards.

No one in the AAC shoots more threes, but it’s the defense that usually gets the job done … usually.

Cincinnati has lost five straight and seven of the last eight games and nine of the last 13. East Carolina might be playing better than the Bearcats lately, but it’s not shooting well and doesn’t have the offensive pop to keep up if Cincinnati is on from the outside.

ECU has scored 70 or more once since mid-January, it’s lousy at stopping teams from three, and …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why East Carolina Will Win

Cincinnati has been awful over the last month.

There have been a few bright spots, but the team just can’t shoot. It’s been a minor miracle when it hits 40% from the field. Even though it beat the Pirates when making 35% of its shots, it’s still been brutally cold as it’s become one of the worst shooting teams in college basketball.

East Carolina at least moves the ball around a little bit better and is a bit better on the free throw line. In a game between two teams that can’t shoot a lick, every point will be gold.

– Conference Tournament Game Previews, Predictions

Cincinnati vs East Carolina: What’s Going To Happen

Avert your eyes from the shooting here.

They both average just over 40% from the field on the year, but it’s been a painful grind for either one to hit shots on a consistent basis.

On the plus side, these two are about dead even in terms of production. Cincinnati might be playing far worse than East Carolina is at the moment, but the defense has been slightly stronger.

However, East Carolina will shoot just a wee bit better.

Fordham vs George Mason Game Preview, Atlantic 10 Tournament

Why Fordham Will Win

The Rams aren’t going to come out hand hang 85 on the board unless everything goes right, but they’re going to take plenty of threes, do a good job at guarding on the outside, and they’re going to come up with plenty of rebounds.

They do have a bit of a scoring punch – they actually did hang 85 on UMass a few days ago – and there won’t be too much of a concern with the George Mason defense that doesn’t force mistakes and hasn’t been anything special to close out the regular season.

But …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why George Mason Will Win

The Patriots will make a ton of threes.

They might not have the defense to hold up on the inside, and they tend to lose when they have to push the offense, but they’ve hit 21 threes over the last two games and will keep on bombing away throughout.

They lost the first game to Fordham 50-47 on the road, but they were way off from outside and never got to the free throw line. With this team, though, it’s all about the threes.

Hit ten of them, and good things happen. But …

Fordham vs George Mason: What’s Going To Happen

Fordham has allowed just three teams to hit double-digit threes.

Texas vs TCU Game Preview, Big 12 Tournament

Why Texas Will Win

The Longhorns were able to get the Horned Frogs twice.

The first time was a 73-50 win with the defense locking down TCU from three, and the second win was by 11 even though the D gave up a whole lot of easy points and the offense couldn’t make a thing from the outside.

TCU wins games on the boards and with its defense, and the Texas defense is better and the team was able to win on the glass in both games – it was +16 in the first game and +4 in the second victory.

Put 70 up on TCU, beat TCU.

But …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why TCU Will Win

TCU is built for tournament play.

It’s got the perfect mix of defensive ability, toughness on the boards, and free throw shooting – not for the year, but over the last few games – to survive.

Texas doesn’t have the type of offense that’s going to crank up the three and make this any sort of a firefight, but it’s No. 1 in the Big 12 in scoring margin because of its great D. Again, that fits what TCU does.

As long as the Horned Frogs can take over on the boards early on, in an every-possession-is-gold game like this, rebounding margin will matter. Yeah, Texas got the job in both games, but that’s a total anomaly considering the way TCU plays.

– Conference Tournament Game Previews, Predictions

Texas vs TCU: What’s Going To Happen

Can Texas pull the threezie on TCU? That’s so, so hard to do, but the defense is stronger for a game like this.

Points are going to be at a premium – the TCU offensive rebounding advantage won’t come into play as much as it needs to.

Yes, TCU has been great on the free throw line over the last few games, but Texas will be +4 there. That will matter.

Florida vs Texas A&M Game Preview, SEC Tournament

Why Florida Will Win

The Gators weren’t bad over the the finishing kick – they lost to some of the SEC’s stars – and played Texas A&M tough on the road in a 56-55 loss. It was able to pull it off even though it couldn’t hit a thing.

This should be another low scoring tight battle and it should come down to free throws. A&M is awful on the line – NO CHANCE it goes 16-for-16 like it did in the first game – and Florida should be at least a +3 there. However …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Texas A&M Will Win

The A&M defense locked down well lately in the four-game winning streak.

The team got past a brutal stretch of eight straight losses by passing it around a bit better coming up with one of the better shooting stretches of the season, but again, it all starts with the D.

The Aggies are among the best in the nation at forcing turnovers and mistakes, and it’s that pressure that should force a shooting-challenged team like Florida from getting into a groove.

– Conference Tournament Game Previews, Predictions

Florida vs Texas A&M: What’s Going To Happen

Can either team do enough on the glass?

Don’t expect any sort of a high-octane shootout, and look for both defenses to step up with a slew of takeaways as a part of long stretches of scoring slips.

Texas A&M shoots a bit better because it moves the ball around faster. It’ll be tight late.

Syracuse vs Duke Game Preview, ACC Tournament

Why Syracuse Will Win

Seriously? What or who was THAT Syracuse team?

It came out hot and destroyed Florida State 96-57 in the first round to get here, and it did it by locking up the Noles to just 2-of-25 from three and hitting every big shot early.

That D rarely showed up this season, and it certainly didn’t make an appearance in any of the two games against Duke – both blowout losses.

Duke doesn’t need the three to win, but it’s certainly been a tad vulnerable at times over the finishing kick. The defense hasn’t been good enough – too many teams are making the extra pass too early for easy buckets, but …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Duke Will Win

Syracuse isn’t stopping Duke.

The Blue Devils scored 79 in the first win – a 20-point victory – and hit ten threes, and they ripped it up in the rematch in Syracuse making 54% of its shots from the field in a 97-72 win.

How do you beat the Syracuse defense – at least when it’s working? You pass the ball around efficiently, and no one in the ACC does that better than Duke with a whopping 51 assists in the two games.

– Top 25 Game Previews, Predictions

Syracuse vs Duke: What’s Going To Happen

Normally you might think Syracuse – who hasn’t been all that great over the years in the ACC Tournament, but knows how to rock in the NCAAs and used to be great in the Big East tourney – is kicking it in when it all matters, but it’s catching the wrong team.

There’s no way, no how Duke isn’t going to come into this jacked up after being embarrassed at home by North Carolina.

Who’s going to come out hot in the first ten minutes? This will be a back-and-forth game in the late first half on, but Duke will have a cushion.

Michigan vs Indiana Game Preview, Big Ten Conference Tournament

Why Michigan Will Win

And now things are back to normal.

Head coach Juwan Howard is back, the team is coming off a win over Ohio State to ruin Senior Day in Columbus, and now the season really starts.

The team isn’t playing all that poorly overall. The losses over the last several weeks have been against the Big Ten elite, but the offense is still working it around well and it’s still scoring efficiently, and this remains one of the Big Ten’s but rebounding teams.

Indiana has fallen off the map. It went 2-7 in February and can’t seem to win if it’s not hitting 50% of its shots. However …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Indiana Will Win

Indiana 18-3 when it hits 42% or better from the field, and Michigan’s defense allows teams to hit 45% of their shots.

Even in the wins the Wolverine defense is struggling to stop teams from getting easy baskets and it’s not doing a thing to stop the three.

Indiana might not have a high-powered attack and doesn’t take a lot of threes, but if it can just generate a few easy baskets and get on the move early, it’s got a shot to start its season over and go on a decent run.

It’s got the defense to hold up and keep the flaky Wolverines from going off, but …

Can Michigan hit its free throws?

Forgetting that Indiana made all ten of its free throws its last game against Purdue, it struggles on the line. Michigan won the first and only meeting between the two teams back in late January because it was unstoppable fro three and idd just about everything right.

It was also one of Michigan’s best defensive performances of the season in the 80-62 win.

Indiana’s defense will keep this really, really close, and the offense will have its chances down the stretch, but the mediocre free throw shooting will prove costly.

Toledo vs Central Michigan Game Preview, MAC Tournament

Why Central Michigan Will Win

It’s been a rough run for the Chippewas with eight losses in the last ninth games in the midst of an ugly season, but they pushed a strong Toledo team in a 68-66 loss in mid-February.

The defense isn’t all that bad at forcing mistakes, and the offense works as long as the backcourt is doing a good job of spreading the ball around and doing things quickly. Toledo’s defense doesn’t force mistakes and come up with turnovers, but …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Toledo Will Win

Central Michigan doesn’t do enough on defense to keep up.

The offense isn’t totally miserable. It’s not dangerous from the outside and it doesn’t do any one thing all that well, but the defenses allows teams to average 77 points per game and hit 41% of their shots – Toledo can shoot.

More than anything else, the Rockets should own the boards. Central Michigan can’t and doesn’t rebound, but it did in the second meeting and still lost. It was closer, but it still wasn’t enough.
