Norfolk State has taken 149 three pointers compared to 260 for their opponents. Joe Bryant is their primary offensive threat shooting 36.4% from three with about 1/3 of his shots coming from three. But if he is fouled he's automatic from the FT line at 97.5%.
Tyrese Jenkins comes off the bench for 22 minutes per game, and is their best three point shooter at almost 42%. More than half his shots come from three.
The NS roster looks a lot like an ideal Siddle roster with a bunch of 6'5" players who can rotate. They have committed129 TO's while opponents have had 161, and NS had 93 steals(10 per game) while opponents have caused 48 steals.
Norfolk State has guards who can drive and big men who can rebound. They're going to try and get in the paint and score or go to the FT line. UNCW is going to drive to the paint and look to score or kick out to the three point line. Our pressure will be important to run the shot clock and get them out of their offense. NS can run with UNCW, but they aren't a huge three point threat. Our best chance to win is to get hot from three.
