Arizona State vs Stanford Game Preview, Pac-12 Tournament

Why Arizona State Will Win

The Sun Devils have finally started to win.

They played well throughout the year – especially on the defensive side – but there wasn’t any payoff in loss after loss. That all changed around the middle of February, and now it comes into the Pac-12 Tournament on a 7-1 run.

The defense continues to be fantastic – no one has hit 70 points on the Sun Devils over the last eight games, and getting to 60 has been a grind. That includes a win over Stanford a few day ago..

Arizona State might not be hitting enough from three, but the defense is suffocating. Stanford only hit 37% from the field and couldn’t seem to get anything going in the 65-56 loss, but …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Stanford Will Win

Stanford can hit the boards.

It’s not shooting well and scoring has been a problem. Fortunately, this isn’t going to be any sort of a shootout – the Cardinal should never be out of this.

As long as it can play a grinding game and win the rebounding battle – it was +10 against the Sun Devils – Stanford should be dangerous. It was able to win the first meeting back in late January even though it didn’t shoot well, but …

Arizona State vs Stanford: What’s Going To Happen

Stanford has apparently decided that it’s done scoring for the 2021-2022 college basketball season.

It hasn’t hit 70 points in a few weeks, it’s not getting enough from three, and it’s not doing a thing to manufacture points from the free throw line.

This isn’t going to be anything remotely pretty, but it’ll look just fine for an Arizona State defense that should take over early on.

Boston College vs Wake Forest Game Preview, ACC Tournament

Why Boston College Will Win

The Eagles went on a big run to put away Pitt without a problem in the 66-46 in over Tuesday. They were great defensively, they hit 47% from three, and they put together one of their better performances in a few weeks.

Even though the losses lately, the shooting ability has been there, moving the ball around isn’t a problem, and there aren’t enough mistakes to allow for too many easy points.

Wake Forest isn’t big on the offensive glass and it turns the ball over way too much, but …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Wake Forest Will Win

Here come the threes.

Wake Forest isn’t Pitt when it comes to hitting the outside shots, leading the ACC in attempted threes and hitting about nine per game. Boston College did a nice job in its last game to get here, but it’s the worst team in the ACC at defending the outside shot.

These two only met once this year and it wasn’t pretty. The Demon Deacons rolled 87-57 by hitting 54% from the field and keeping Boston College from doing anything offensively.

As long as the Eagles can’t get on the move, expect more of the same.

– Top 25 Game Previews, Predictions

Wake Forest vs Boston College: What’s Going To Happen

Boston College is playing with house money, and here comes the defensive pressure.

Again, the Eagles are shooting well lately. They’ll have to trade twos for threes, but Wake Forest isn’t above going cold from the outside for stretches. There are problems when the three isn’t going down, and it’s going to take a while to get the outside shooting going.

The threes will come through in the second half and Boston College won’t have any answers.

Xavier vs Butler Game Preview, Big East Conference Tournament

Why Xavier Will Win

There’s the Xavier we all knew and loved – even if it was just for a day.

It’s been a harsh February going 1-7 before hanging 97 on Georgetown just to show that the scoring punch really is there. As bad as things were before that, it all started with a win over Butler – the Musketeers beat the Bulldogs twice.

Xavier might be struggling, but Butler has collapsed losing its last five games with the offense falling flat and way too many problems on the boards. However …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Butler Will Win

Xavier is having a hard time shooting from the outside.

It might have nailed everything against Georgetown, but who doesn’t?

It’s been impossible for the team to get to 30% from three on a regular basis, and Butler has to use the break to own the inside. As is, the Bulldogs are good at guarding the three.

On the other side, the offense has to hit from the outside. This is a much, much different team when it’s making its threes. It takes a ton of them, but it doesn’t make them.

Get to 40% from three, and Butler doesn’t lose. But …

– Top 25 Game Previews, Predictions

Xavier vs Butler: What’s Going To Happen

Xavier has only allowed five teams to get to 40% from three.

Again, neither team is playing all that well, but Xavier is scoring and Butler isn’t. The defenses should take over, but the Musketeers will be far, far more efficient and will be a wee bit stronger from the free throw line.

Florida State vs Syracuse Game Preview, ACC Tournament

Why Florida State Will Win

The Seminoles have picked a nice time to start playing well.

it was a rough run over the second half of the season going 1-8, but they came up with a stunner over Virginia and took out Notre Dame and NC State to come into this relatively hot.

What is it doing right? It’s making its shots. That’s not a given for an offense that struggled to get to 40% on a regular basis for weeks.

On the flip side, the Syracuse defense has fallen off the map. It can always step it up now that the ACC Tournament lights are on – it’s Syracuse – but it’s getting roadside lately allowing teams to hit half of their shots over the last four games.

However …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Syracuse Will Win

The Orange are scoring.

The defense has been uncharacteristically bad lately, but the offense has been good from three, the team’s been strong from the free throw line, and there’s a decent burst from time to time.

There aren’t a lot of mistakes and there won’t be too many easy Florida State points, and that might mean everything – there can’t be any empty trips. The offense has to come through and keep pushing because …

– Top 25 Game Previews, Predictions

Florida State vs Syracuse: What’s Going To Happen

Yeah, the Syracuse defense – it’s just not getting it done.

It doesn’t hack away and there aren’t a lot of fouls, but it’s not coming up with turnovers and it’s not as good on the boards as it needs to be.

Again, it’s Syracuse, so there’s always the shot at going on an out-of-the-blue run this weekend, but Florida State is playing too well and it’s too strong at moving the ball around to get sucked into the positives of the Orange defensive style.

Idaho vs Sacramento State Game Preview, Big Sky Tournament Final

Why Idaho Will Win

The Vandals are coming off a strong performance in the win over Northern Arizona with a good shooting day, a great game from the free throw line, and with the defense holding up big when it had to.

It’s a good shooting team from the outside that should give the Hornets a problem. They were able to beat them back in late January by hitting ten threes, and they’re going to have to do that again.

Sacramento State doesn’t move the ball around, it doesn’t do much on the boards, and it’s awful at guarding the three. However …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Sacramento State Will Win

Sacramento State is great at shooting from the outside, too.

It doesn’t take a ton of threes, but it makes them when it takes them.

There isn’t a whole lot of consistency to the O, and there’s a problem on the free throw line, but it’s not going to give the ball away and it’s not going to make a ton of mistakes – there won’t be a slew of easy Vandal points.

It was able to roll the Vandals by 32 a few weeks ago when it hit 57% from the field, and …

– Top 25 Game Previews, Predictions

Idaho vs Sacramento State: What’s Going To Happen

Gonzaga vs Saint Mary’s Game Preview, West Coast Conference Tournament Final

Why Gonzaga Will Win

So was that just a bad day? It seems like it.

Gonzaga is still the No. 1 team in the nation a few weeks after getting popped by Saint Mary’s 67-57 – that was helped by seemingly all the other top teams losing that weekend, too – but it was able to get it back a bit in an 81-71 win over San Francisco in a game that wasn’t quite as tight as the final score.

It wasn’t a perfect performance, but Gonzaga went back to being Gonzaga, hitting 58% from the field helped by 20 assists.

Yeah, Saint Mary’s might have won at home, but it got whacked in the first meeting 74-58 when Gonzaga was able to crank up the rebounds, the inside scoring, and it generated 16 assists.

It only had four in the loss.

The time off between the loss and the date with the Dons on Monday night was obviously spent getting down the passing again, but …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Saint Mary’s Will Win

Give Saint Mary’s credit for just being that good – even though things started to slip late in the 75-72 win over Santa Clara.

It might not be spectacular, but it’s a rock-solid sound team with one of the nation’s best defenses – it allows just 59 points per game with the ability to hang with Gonzaga on the boards and win the turnover battle.

Not only did the Gaels shoot well in the West Coast Conference semifinal, but they only turned the ball over a grand total of eight times – it had just two turnovers with eight minutes to play.

And that’s how this has to work.

They have to once again slow things down against Gonzaga, pack it in, and not give up a ton of points on the move. For all of the great things the Bulldogs do, they’ve been a wee bit shaky from three – they only hit 23% against San Francisco.

– Top 25 Game Previews, Predictions

Gonzaga vs Saint Mary’s: What’s Going To Happen

Gonzaga will come out looking to make a big statement that the loss a week ago was a blip, but Saint Mary’s isn’t the type of team that allows angry offenses to go off.

The scoring pop might not be quite there to get back in the game if Gonzaga goes on an early run, but it’ll hang around.

The Bulldogs won’t be great from the outside, but the passing will be strong in the second half, leading to a mini-run to build up the lead just enough to get out with the win as they lock in a No. 1 seed.

Northern Kentucky vs Wright State Game Preview, Horizon Conference Tournament Final

Why Northern Kentucky Will Win

The Norse put the clamps down hard on Purdue Fort Wayne in a 57-43 win to get here.

They allowed the Mastadons to make just 3-of-20 threes, owned the offensive boards – they were +11 in rebounding margin – and they never trailed in the easy win.

They’re 2-0 against Wright State, shooting the lights out in both games – hitting close to 51% in the two – and that’s why they didn’t own the offensive glass.

This time around the rebounds will be there in a tighter game, but winners of 8 out of their last 9, they’ll crank up that D again. However …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Wright State Will Win

Wright State is rolling.

It might not be playing quite as well as Northern Kentucky, but it’s on a four-game run with five wins in the last six. It’s all because the team is shooting really, really well.

It’s been one of the Horizon’s best shooting teams all season long, and then it turned it on over the last few games on the inside. They never got behind Cleveland State as they hit 49% from the field, held the Vikings to just 3-of-20 from three – just like NKU did in its game – and it kept the great play going.

But …

– Top 25 Game Previews, Predictions

Northern Kentucky vs Wright State: What’s Going To Happen

The offensive rebounds.

Wright State was +4 in rebounding margin against Cleveland State, but it gave up 16 offensive boards and turned it over 19 times. Both of those things are going to be a problem.

The Norse will get too many second chance points, and they’ll come up with enough takeaways to get the stops needed to win this and go off to the NCAA Tournament.

Why Delaware Will Win

The Blue Hens came out and ripped through Towson with stunning ease.

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why UNC Wilmington Will Win

UNC Wilmington isn’t going 4-of-23 from three. Even if it does, it might not matter.

It only hit 2-of-15 from three in the last meeting, and it won by seven. It hit half of its shots from three in the first meeting.

Delaware has the defense to keep this close throughout, and it showed off the ability to go on a big early run, but the Seahawks have been consistent from the field, they’ve been killers at times from the free throw line – like in the last win over the Blue Hands – and the defense should be able to hold up inside.

Clemson vs NC State Game Preview, ACC Conference Tournament

Why Clemson Will Win

Clemson is playing well.

It collapsed in February in a rough run of six straight losses, but it bounced back better with four straight wins to maybe salvage its season if it can come up with a good weekend.

What happened and how have things improved?

The defense has turned it up a few notches. It didn’t allow fewer than 69 points in any game over a few weeks, and then it didn’t give up more than that over the last two weeks.

The rebounding has been great and the defense from three has been as strong as it’s been all year, and the timing is great because …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why NC State Will Win

NC State isn’t playing well, but here come the threes.

Wake Forest is the only team in the ACC that showed more from beyond the arc, and it’s a strength in numbers thing. The Wolfpack are okay from the outside, but it’s more about the sheer quantity of shots – they’ve made 61 in the last six games.

They’ll work outside, but Clemson doesn’t have too much an interior presence – there aren’t any blocks – and the D as a whole doesn’t put enough pressure on the guards and doesn’t force enough mistakes, but …

– Top 25 Game Previews, Predictions

Clemson vs NC State: What’s Going To Happen

Can NC State find something positive over a miserable season with a win to get another game to play? It’ll be feisty.

The problem is the defense that’s getting rocked by everyone. The Pack have allowed teams to hit 50% of their shots or more in eight of the last ten games, and now it’s Clemson’s turn to have some fun.

The Tigers will have to battle through a tough first 30 minutes, but the last ten will start to swing their way as the Pack D breaks down over and over again.

The Jaspers might not be consistent, but they have a way of rising up and rocking offensively from time to time.

They don’t shoot threes and the defense is what sad looks like – for the most part. It’s been a disaster throughout the season at stopping the three, but it’s been outstanding over the last several games, holding teams to under 28% from the outside.

The key will be getting to the free throw line. The team might not shoot well overall, but no one in the MAAC gets more production on the stripe, but …
