As it should be after a game like tonight's. FU's KenPom was 73 this morning. Up to 70 tonight.

Upstate is ranked 344 by KenPom (out of 351 D1 teams)
Their offensive and defensive efficiency ratings are equally poor.
Poor shooting team, 39% from 2 and 28% from 3, and that's been their biggest problem. They are average at turning the ball over on O and forcing turnovers on D. They are a poor offensive rebounding team as well so that shouldn't be an issue on Sunday.
A couple of weeks ago though, they only trailed #1 Louisville 51-46 at the 10 min mark of 2H, so they have it in them to play well....but losses to #328 NCC (76-64), #255 Youngstown St (66-61) and #218 UNCC (83-47) were all bad losses. Although they are coming off their first D1 win of the year, 79-67 at home vs #306 Eastern KY...

I would like us to come out and play with the same fire on Sunday we had last night, maybe even more heated knowing we got the shaft, we do that and we trounce these guys and send them back to rotting sparkle city with a big fat L

Be a good chance to give the youngsters a good bit of playing time. Pugh, Slawson, Bothwell, Clark and Beeker. Let's see what that line up can do.

Dplot.
A modern day "Blue Team" like the old Dean Smith Chapel holes.

Let's just win the game before we start talking about emptying the bench. Remember we stuggled for a good while with SWU. Their record could be a little deceptive.
