Brady Manek’s been an assassin in his stead, though, especially down the stretch The former Marquette product has been on the shelf since late January The Dawson Garcia bowl is cancelled, what a shame.
Despite Norfolk’s optimal fusion of seasoned experience and down transfer talent, it’s simply overmatched by this rendition of Sic’Em Picks: Baylor -21, UNDER 138 In short, yes, these Bears are *vulnerable* - without LC Cryer, the backcourt leans heavily on Dale Bonner as de-facto third banana to Adam Flagler and James Akinjo Over Baylor’s last five games of the regular season (small sample size alert!), the Bears posted the nation’s 13th best net efficiency - it’s worth noting that span captured wins over Kansas and Texas BartTorvik’s time capsule tool is gold. They are big and can score it from anywhere Backcourt twofer Joe ‘the Beard’ Bryant and his running mate Jalen Hawkins should not be taken lightly. Specifically, they feasted against full-court pressure and lived at the rim in conference play. The Spartans thrived against the opposing helter-skelter styles in the MEAC. His absence could force Jones to go deeper in to his bench Former starter-turned-sixth man Christian Ings’ availability also remains up in the air after clocking only four minutes in the MEAC title game. The starting-5 of Joe Bryant, Jalen Hawkins, Tyrese Jenkins, Dana Tate and Kris Bangston have played nearly 40% of all possible minutes the last 5 games, per KenPom This is partly rooted in Jones’ relatively conservative coaching DNA. Unlike their MEAC brethren, the Spartans don’t push the pace as furiously in transition.
However, the collective passing ability of Matthew Mayer, Kendall Brown and Jeremy Sochan will be contagious The counterpoint is that Baylor’s most deadly in pick-n-roll action, which Jones’ defensive schemes can largely thwart. Against Baylor’s assortment? Well, good luck Mr. This master of deception can be effective against MEAC ball handlers. Per Synergy, Norfolk pressed and zoned at a top-75 rate nationally (often times, these are blended as one) As my colleague Jim highlighted in our preseason MEAC preview, Norfolk Head Coach Robert Jones is a ‘master mixologist’ on defense… Strapped with an airtight 7-man rotation, Scott Drew will welcome the week off to get his troops ready for battle. R&R is just what the doctor ordered for Baylor. Fun Fact #2: The only game Baylor did NOT cover in last year’s NCAA Tournament run? The opening round 1-v-16 game against Hartford - to be clear, I am NOT betting Norfolk
