Deep, veteran team that makes up for a lack of size by ball-hawking (19.0 TOs forced/g) and jacking up 3s (35.8 attempts, 13.8 makes/g). Over half (.535) of the team FG attempts are 3s.

The snipers (3 attempts/FG attempts, .pct): Rashad Davis (41/73, .562); Lovett (53/65, .815); Brewer (39/56, .696); Corcoran (31/46, .674); Hawkins (39/41, .951); Krivokapic (28/35, .800); Mitchell (20/34, .588); Banks (11/18, .611).

I didnt realize Saturday's game was at 2. That is a quick turnaround.

For a moment I thought your stats were saying they had guys shooting 80% or better from 3 and I was shocked. Now I get it.

Pretty good offense, bad defense. They play at a very fast pace and shoot very very well. Turn it over a lot.

They get 19 TOs per game on defense, it can’t be too bad. They are going to pick us clean.

They are good at turnovers (22%) but part of that is because they play so many possessions per game.

They give up 36% from 3 and 52% from 2. They give up 1.02 points per possession. (254th in the country)

Don't you remember you don't need deep benches.

If we have 38 turnovers by Saturday afternoon there will be a beer-sized hole in my TV.

I haven't seen them play (somehow ESPN missed the Flagler and Carver matchups), but FIU is +5 pts/g in POT. I infer they use tempo and gamble on steals to induce chaos. They almost have to help out inside, so they must sacrifice their perimeter D.

I can't see ODU's offense changing that one bit. The key will be if ODU can get second chance points and defend the 3's in transition.

The Vegas odds shifted overnight. We went from 1.5-point favorite to 1-point dog. Small difference, but I’m guessing some bettors placed their bets after reading our boards.

(Hah! We now have them right where we want them.)

Is Curry playing? That would explain the shift.

Is there a fee for ESPN+?

ESPN+ is also part of the Disney Bundle. You can get the Disney Bundle for free if you have a Verizon unlimited plan but you will have to sign up for one of the newer plans.

I have received no compensation from Disney or Verizon for this message.

Thats what we did. Espn+, hulu, disney+ bundle. For 13 bucks a month its totally worth it.
