UConn vs Georgetown Game Preview

Why UConn Will Win

Georgetown can’t guard the three.

The team has a bad mix of things happening with struggles from the field to go along with the defensive lapses. The team shoots a whole lot of threes, but not enough to make up for the other issues.

UConn hit ten of its 24 three point tries in the first meeting – a 96-73 win – and Georgetown hasn’t improved since then.

How bad are things for the Hoyas? They’ve lost 17 straight, the offense is struggling to get to 70 points, and …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Georgetown Will Win

Georgetown can rebound.

It might be having a whole slew of problems in a whole lot of areas, but again, it’s able to hit three from time to time – it came up with 12 against DePaul and 11 against Marquette – and even though the shooting hasn’t been great, the offensive rebounds are there.

To have any shot, the Hoyas have to start shooting from three and keep it all going. UConn isn’t great at stopping threes, it has problems from time to time on the boards, and …

– Top 25 Game Previews, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

Yeah, Georgetown can rebound, but it didn’t do it against UConn the first time around and it’s not going to be great in this.

No, Georgetown can’t shoot, but it was great in that first game and it still got rocked. It won’t score enough to keep up once UConn gets into a second half groove.

Alabama vs South Carolina Game Preview

Why South Carolina Will Win

The Gamecocks are stepping up their game at just the right time.

They’ve won four straight by coming up with one of its hottest shooting stretches from the field, and the defense is coming off of four straight brilliant games at guarding from three.

Bothering teams from the outside isn’t anything new.

Mississippi State hit as many threes as you did in the 66-56 South Carolina win a few days ago – the Bulldogs missed all 11. Alabama shoots three after three after three, but it’s not making enough of them.

It has hit 40% or better from three just once since Thanksgiving, but …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Alabama Will Win

Alabama keeps winning. It has taken down four of the last five games and gave Kentucky a bit of a push on the road.

No, it’s not all that accurate from three, but it takes so many shots from the outside that it makes enough to matter.

Can the Tide take it to the rim, too? South Carolina commits a whole lot of fouls, it turns the ball over too much, and the Crimson Tide have to generate takeaways, attack the goal, and hope to get fouled enough to slow things down at times.

But …

– Top 25 Game Previews, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

South Carolina might have hit 10-of-11 against Mississippi State from the free throw line, but overall it’s been a struggle. It has a bigger problem making enough threes to keep up with the onslaught from the Tide shooters.

Alabama will do a great job on the offensive boards and will go a whole lot faster to pull away when needed.

Arizona vs Colorado Game Preview

Why Arizona Will Win

Just when it seemed like Arizona might be slipping a wee bit after a 84-81 fight against Oregon … boom.

The Wildcats went to Utah and came away with a dominant 20-point win. They continue to be amazing fro the field, they’re stepping up from three, and they’re great on the boards.

Colorado is dangerous, but it’s erratic.

It can get hot, but it’s not strong enough on a regular basis from three, there are way too many turnovers, and the D doesn’t force enough mistakes to slow down the Arizona attack. But …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Colorado Will Win

The Buffaloes are sneaky-dangerous.

They might not be consistent from three, but they’re making what they’re taking – they’ve won their last six games when they hit more than 40% from three.

Arizona has the defense to clamp down from the outside, but if Colorado can be decent from three, and if the rebounding isn’t all that off – with better than -5 – there’s a chance that …

– Top 25 Game Previews, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

Can Colorado really be good enough at home to pull this off?

It’ll be strong enough to keep it interesting for a while, but Arizona is too strong on the boards and will be too good at guarding the three.

Yeah, Colorado wins when it hits 40% or better from three.

Arizona hasn’t let anyone get to 40% from outside since January 25th.

Kansas vs Baylor Game Preview

Why Kansas Will Win

Kansas whacked around Baylor the first time around in early February, and why? Three reasons …

Rebounding, rebounding, rebounding.

The Jayhawks won 83-59 because it shot well, got a whole lot of second chance points, and the defense held the Bears to under 30% from the field.

And they were +10 in rebounding margin. Baylor is No. 1 in the Big 12 in rebounds, but Kansas was able to attack hard in the first game and there weren’t any answers. Baylor came up with a bunch of offensive rebounds, but that didn’t matter as much as it should’ve.

Baylor will shoot far better this time around, but there’s a problem if the threes aren’t falling. It couldn’t do a thing in the win over TCU – hitting just 2-of-11 – and it failed to get to 35% from three in five of the last six games.

But …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Baylor Will Win

Baylor continues to be great on the offensive glass.

No, there was no getting past the cold shooting day against Kansas in the first game, but the 15 offensive boards were a lot. The Bears won’t get that many again – mainly because they’ll shoot better – but they’ll have their share.

Kansas is too erratic from the outside. It can certainly win if it’s not cranking up things from three, but it’s been able to get away with bad shooting games. That’s not going to work against the Bears.

Baylor can score in spurts, it moves the ball around as well as anyone in the Big 12, and …

– Top 25 Game Previews, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

This should be fantastic.

Texas Tech is right there, but these are two of the best three teams in the Big 12 and they’re going to go back and forth.

Baylor isn’t unbeatable at home – it lost back in mid-January to Texas Tech and Oklahoma State – but Kansas is only beatable away from Lawrence.

It’ll be an offensive up-and-down game with the Bears doing a wee bit better on the move late. Their passing ability will come up big when needed.

Providence vs Creighton Game Preview

Why Creighton Will Win

Creighton is shooting well enough to pull this off.

The Bluejays have won six straight be doing a great job of simply getting the right shot. They might not be great from three, but they’re fantastic at moving the ball around, getting the assist, and scoring lots and lots of points.

They’re great at getting out on the move, better at getting to the basket, and they’re hitting more than half of their shots.

Can this work on the road? They’re not showing quite as well away from Nebraska, but they’re about to make Providence have to push.

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Providence Will Win

It’s been a wild ride for the Friars.

They lost to Villanova, slipped by Butler in overtime, and won what might have been the best game of the 2021-2022 college basketball season in the 99-92 triple-overtime thriller over Xavier – that just so happened to be played as other parts of the planet were melting down.

They took everything Xavier had to hit them with, but they turned out to be phenomenal from three – especially in the clutch – and they survived.

How did Villanova pull off the win two weeks ago? They went Villanova and were great from three. That’s not Creighton.

– Top 25 Game Previews, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

Once again, Providence will get pushed very, very hard, and once again they’ll come through.

Creighton will get up fast and pull ahead with a big scoring run, but Providence will start chipping away until it has a chance to finally pull back ahead in the final five minutes.

Providence will get the free throws the Bluejays won’t.

Gonzaga vs Saint Mary’s Game Preview

Why Gonzaga Will Win

Saint Mary’s just doesn’t score enough.

It’s a great team with a phenomenal defense and great half court attack that spreads the ball around well, but the points don’t go in bunches. It’s more about quality over quantity, and you’re not beating Gonzaga if you’re not serving up the super-sized portions.

Even when Gonzaga is struggling a bit – like it did against Santa Clara – it’s still able to power through.

It played the Gaels’ game – for the most part – in the first meeting two weeks ago and still made 55% from the field, half the threes, and won by 16.

Gonzaga can play a whole lot of defense, too, but …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Saint Mary’s Will Win

Saint Mary’s is 15-0 in Moraga.

Granted, it hasn’t played Gonzaga at home – or anyone close to it – but no one seems to be able to get the offense going when the Gaels feel comfortable.

No one has hit 70 points, it’s been a struggle for teams to get to 40% from three, and the offense flirts with 50% from the field.

As long as the best defense in the West Coast Conference can be solid, and as long as the team doesn’t turn the ball over in bunches and bogs everything down …

– Top 25 Game Previews, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

It’s going to be a great fight for a half, and once again, a team in the West Coast Conference that should give Gonzaga a hard time will do just that …

Until the big scoring burst comes.

San Francisco was supposed to be a nasty out at home, and then Gonzaga pulled away for a 16-point win.

Santa Clara made a push, and then it was a 12-point Bulldog victory.

Saint Mary’s has the make up and talent to pull this off and finally show that Gonzaga is vulnerable.

And then Gonzaga will prove once again that it’s not – at least for now.

Wisconsin vs Rutgers Game Preview

Why Wisconsin Will Win

The Badgers bounced back nicely after the strange home loss to Rutgers a few weeks ago.

They didn’t do anything well defensively in the first meeting – it was the lone defeat in the last six games – but bounced back to hold down Indiana, Michigan, and Minnesota and are now tied with Purdue for the Big Ten lead.

The three point shooting isn’t good, but the points are there on the inside. This is still the best team in America when it comes to giving the ball away – it doesn’t do it – and on the other side, Rutgers turned back into …

Rutgers.

The team went on a brilliant four game roll, but the defense didn’t do a thing in loss to Purdue, and it couldn’t rebound anything in the loss to a Michigan team that got beaten up by Wisconsin the game before.

But …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Rutgers Will Win

Rutgers is back home.

The fight continues to be there and the defense hasn’t been totally miserable, but this is still the worst team in the Big Ten at making the three there isn’t steady scoring punch, and the defensive rebounds aren’t enough of a factor.

However, like all teams, it’s different and stronger in its familiar surroundings, and it shows. The shooting is night-and-day better, there are more threes, and the team is 13-2 in Jersey’s Mikes and 3-9 when it’s not.

And …

– Top 25 Game Previews, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

How did Rutgers do it the first time around?

It made 51% of its shots, was even better from three, and Wisconsin was dead-cold from three. It was the best job done by the Scarlet Knight D from three since the win over Michigan on January 4th, and that’s not happening again.

The Badgers don’t need the three to win, but they’ll get a few more than they did the first time and continue to be great on the inside.

Rutgers will still get this done at home with a great performance by the defense in the finals two minutes, and Wisconsin will miss too many free throws.

USC vs Oregon Game Preview

Why USC Will Win

The Trojans are much, much better than they looked and played in the double-overtime win over an Oregon State team that – as we speak – has three wins this season.

The USC defense couldn’t seem to stop anything the Beavers tried to do, the offense didn’t have any luck from three, and again, that’s not what this team is normally about.

The threes are hit or miss, but the defense is usually amazing at holding things down on the outside and it’s outstanding on the boards.

Oregon doesn’t come up with enough rebounds, it’s not good enough on the offensive line, and now it’s getting a USC team that’s going to be well motivated to come up with a good performance.

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Oregon Will Win

The Ducks are strong at home, coming up with the game it absolutely had to have with a 68-63 win over UCLA.

They’re not perfect, but the defense picked a great time to come up with one of its best performances of the season – especially guarding from three – and it has to do it all again.

Washington State went off on USC from three and almost pulled off a win. Oregon State hit 50% from the outside, and now it’s up to Oregon to be great from the outside.

It didn’t do much against UCLA, but it was on from the free throw line.

– Top 25 Game Previews, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

This isn’t a dominant Oregon team at home, but it’s strong enough.

It all comes down to whether or not the offense can figure out how to solve a USC that’s about to play with a whole lot more intensity than it showed in Corvallis.

USC knows how to win on the road, but it’s been shaky. The D will be great, but Oregon will rise up in yet another game it needs to have. It won’t be quite as strong as it was against UCLA, but it’ll hold on late by once again doing a great job on the free throw line.

Duke vs Syracuse Game Preview

Why Duke Will Win

It’s been a rocky ride, and it’s had to take a few punches, but Duke keeps on winning with a five-game run after losing to Virginia and is on a nice streak of ten wins in the last 11 games.

The run started with a strong 79-59 victory over Syracuse.

The Blue Devils might not be winning in consistent ways, but they’ve been rock-solid from the field and good enough from three. Throw in the rebounding to go along with lots and lots of assists, and the offense is the exact right fit to push past what Syracuse does.

The Orange might bring a whole lot of pressure, but Duke came up with 25 assists in the first meeting.

However …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Syracuse Will Win

The loss to Duke was on the road. Syracuse is a whole other animal in the dome.

There are a few losses here and there, but ever since dropping the home date Florida State in mid-January, the Orange have own five straight at home averaging well over 80 points per game.

Granted, it hasn’t played anyone like Duke in the run, but the offense has been brilliant from three in the home surroundings, the defense has cranked things up a few notches, and …

– Top 25 Game Previews, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

The Syracuse defense isn’t working, and it’s not going to come up with the stop needed in the clutch against the high-powered Duke attack.

The Orange allow teams to do way too much on the move and they struggle when they don’t win the rebounding battle.

It’ll be a battle for the Blue Devils, but when they need points late, they’ll be ultra-focused and come up with the pass and the big play needed to get out alive.

Why UCLA Will Win

Oregon State still lost.

It’s 3-23, and it got rocked 81-65 by UCLA in mid-January, but despite all the problems and all of the issues it was able to give USC all it could handle on Thursday night.

It was a double-overtime battle, the offense was great, and …

Oregon State still lost, 94-91.

Despite the great performance against the Trojans, there’s still a problem overall from three, the team is a disaster on the boards, and there’s no ability to keep up if UCLA goes on a run.

But …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Oregon State Will Win

Oregon State isn’t that miserable considering its record.

Oh sure, it can go absolutely stone cold from the field for stretches, and again, the rebounding is a problem, but UCLA isn’t great from three.

It was a disaster from the outside in the 68-63 loss to Oregon, making just 4-of-24 tries and not making up for the problems on the inside.

Oregon State needs UCLA to stay off from the outside, the game needs to slow down a bit, and there can’t be any misfire on any opportunity. And …

– Top 25 Game Previews, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

Nah.

UCLA lost to Oregon the game before the Oregon State game in mid -February, and it’ll be almost as hot from the field this time around.

The Bruins couldn’t make a three against the Beavers the first time around, but they were great at getting to the run, better on the free throw line, and they’re coming off a loss when nothing worked.
