The Charleston Classic

[Tulley]

Sorry but I’m getting antsy. FAU will be a very tough opponent to open up the tournament. They score a lot of points. I noticed their top 4 ppg leaders are all shooting over 47% from 3 point range.

The field for this tournament looks….pretty decent? Should be a lot of fun. We are going to find out a lot about the team this week. One thing I at least feel confident about is the simple fact that we know Lutz can coach and the Pokes won’t be an easy opponent for anyone this year.

I’ll be at the game tomorrow, will try to provide a good recap if I have the time.

Something to note about FAU’s early season numbers, especially the high scoring numbers is that they’ve played a total of 3 overtime periods in In their 5 games so far. They scored 29 total points in those periods. So that has definitely inflated that stat with such a sample size of games. They definitely play fast though. FAU currently ranks 30th in pace of play, we’re sitting at 65. Offensive efficiency they rank 61, were at 73. The NET rating, that combines offense and defensive rankings has us at 77 and FAU at 120. It should be a god matchup and I’m hoping we can come out on top.

If we win and have to face Miami, that could be ugly. Miami has a ton of talent, especially on the offensive end.

You tell me. Obviously I could easily be a month off.

I'm curious to see how well Drake plays. McCollum was my pick for OSU head basketball coach, but we have a good one in Coach Lutz.

I love his transparency in his pressers. Business trip. Connect the team. Needs leaders and closers to step up. Not a vacation. Everything he says is to get better. No fluff. No fake happiness. Just intense appreciation for the process! Love it!

I'm looking forward to seeing the boys playing some stiffer competition. Hopefully they're getting their chemistry and will be able to play strong.
