RPIs of each team:

Wake Forest - 39
Houston - 54
Colorado - 99
Liberty - 173
Mercer - 193
Quinnipac - 272
Drexel - 308

Hopefully Houston is on the same side of the bracket as Colorado and can get a chance to play both them and Wake Forest in the Finals.

Should be an early test for our Coogs…

Welp, we’re on the other side of the bracket from Colorado and Wake Forest. Means we should make the finals.

Wonder if the Toyota Center could put in a bid.

Well Wake Forest is 0-2 and has already lost to Liberty. Colorado might be the only decent squad we play in this thing. Dunno if its worth the $30 tv charge. (Who am i kidding i’m gonna watch)

Building on game 1.
I want to see them continue going inside to our bigs, using D Davis more as a point forward.
If you combine all 3 bigs, we could have something solid.

How do we get the streaming channel?

They said the first game, Sampson’s goal for this season was for RGII to not average over 20 points because he wants other people scoring as well. So far, that plan is out the window.

Coogs aren’t shooting great outside of Gray.

16 of 45 other than Gray, 35.5%.

Fouls continue to be a problem for the Coogs
