More About North Carolina
Kody Malstrom: North Carolina is one of the biggest wildcards in all of college basketball this season.
Winning at Cameron Indoor in Coach K’s last home game was impressive, but dominating the game (per ShotQuality) is even more stunning. The Hells are a talented team, but what makes that result shocking is how their defense performed. Sure, Paolo Banchero had a layup drill anytime he had one-on-one coverage, but that’s the price to pay if it means limiting Duke’s other weapons.
This is still a scorching hot, high-powered North Carolina offense that can shoot its way to a run — or shoot itself into an early exit in a tournament. The Heels can keep up the scoring pace with the best of them, as they rank high in the nation in adjusted offensive efficiency.
More About Saint Peter's
Kyle Remillard: Saint Peter's own the best defensive efficiency in the MAAC, while allowing just 63 points per game heading into the conference tournament. The Peacocks were also holding opponents to just 31% from 3-point range (42nd) and 46% on 2-point attempts (25th) before tournament play.
Much of that is thanks to one of the top rim protectors in the country in KC Ndefo, who led the conference with 2.5 blocks per game during the regular season.
The defense is undoubtedly elite, but the offense has major question marks.
The Peacocks turn the ball over at a rate outside the top 300 in the country. They were also hitting just 46% of their 2-point attempts heading into the conference tournament, 322nd in the nation at the time. But all those misses have led the Peacocks to grab offensive rebounds at a top-50 rate.
