February 18, 201412 yr Author Based on what? They both rebound their opponents' misses at exactly the same rate, and UK gets back a much higher percentage of their own misses (go and get over 40% of their misses...outstanding) than the Aztecs do? Rebounding is UK's #1 strength (my opinion), no one in America is "killing" them on the glass. They average about the same number of rebounds per game, but SDSU plays at a much slower pace. To me, the way they find guys and put bodies on them with blackouts is much better than what UK does in the same area.

UK gets 40% of their misses back in conference play and SDSU gets 37% of their misses back in the Mountain West...I like UK's chances of handling their work on the glass if it comes to fruition.

I believe you and think UK could have a good chance to rebound as well or better than SDSU. From the eyeball test, I still think SDSU goes to the glass harder, but obviously they don't have our length or talent. Where did you get your stats? I ask not because I don't believe you, just because I'm a big stat guy and didn't know of a site that featured conference breakdowns. The ones I was referring to were from kenpom.com, but don't have a breakdown of performances like that (at least ones that I know of).

February 19, 201412 yr Lunardi is still predicting that Belmont wins the OVC. I don't think they win it this season.
February 19, 201412 yr Lunardi is still predicting that Belmont wins the OVC. I don't think they win it this season. I am really liking what I see from Morehead. Incredibly balanced. Only thing Belmont has is superior coaching. They are one of the least athletic teams in the OVC. Lunardi's selections from lower tier, to mid-major schools is based upon who is in first place at the time.

February 19, 201412 yr I'll go with MSU or MSU to win it all this season. The only saving grace for Murray State is that they have secured the double bye. There would be no way they could win three games in three days. I am doubting the back-to-back considering they only go six deep and live in foul trouble.
