I’m holding off on “Pros and Kons” until after the draft.

Exactly how you want to start your NCAA tournament: get a big lead early, maintain that big lead so that your guys are able to rest. If you are going to have a stressful game, make it the Saturday/Sunday game and not the Thursday/Friday game. Now, we're fresh for round 2. Great to see Flagg back and looking healthy. And great to see the offense hum in the first half. The second half was a flipped script: great defense and just decent offense. But man, that was the exact way you want to get things rolling.
OFFENSE:
Possessions: 70.2 (a fast pace)
oRtg: 132.4 (126.4 adjusted; would be #5 nationally)
eFG%: 60.0% (excellent)
3pt%: 37.8% (solid)
2pt%: 63.6% (fabulous)
%threes: 52.9% (very high, but we made it work)
FT rate: 17.1% (terrible)
OR%: 18.9% (terrible)
TO%: 2.8% (unbelievably good)
a/to: 10.5 (LOL, wow)
fast break pts: 17 (good)
DEFENSE:
dRtg: 69.8 (79.0 adjusted; would be #1 in the country by a lot)
eFG%: 34.1% (excellent)
3pt%: 18.5% (fantastic)
2pt%: 38.9% (terrific)
%threes: 42.9% (normal to a bit high)
FT rate: 12.7% (outstanding)
DR%: 82.2% (great)
TO%: 15.7% (poor)
a/to: 0.9 (solid)
stl%: 11.4% (solid)
blk%: 13.9% (2pt shots) (very good)
fast break pts: 4 (very good)
Not much to say other than a terrific performance. We won all four of the four factors, albeit the rebound rate and FT rate were sort of close. Still, we were ~30 point favorites according to Torvik, and we won by 44 even with the end of the bench getting significant run and none of the regulars topping 24 minutes. Again, exactly the start you want. Now, let's capitalize and win tomorrow!
