UConn headlines a light Friday of College Basketball--Busting Brackets
The Thursday slate of games wasn’t incredible, but there were two
results I want to talk about. Green Bay, coached by podcast host Doug
Gottlieb, finally got its first Horizon League win this season. As much
as I hate to admit this, Coach Gottlieb
has built a competitive roster in the Horizon League. CJ O’ Hara and
Preston Reudinger have been huge reasons for the resurgence of the Green
Bay program.

#154 Toledo at #179 Robert Morris (-1), 1 PM ET, ESPN+.
There aren’t many teams with as radical of a differential between their
efficiency on each end of the floor than Toledo. Tod Kowalczyk’s teams have
always leaned more towards the offensive side, but it has reached a fever
pitch over the last three seasons. Including this year, his teams have
averaged ranking ~63rd in adjusted offense and ~304th in adjusted defense.
For this year, in particular, the Rockets rely heavily on their starting
lineup; they are one of only six teams in the country with five players at
over 50% of minutes played while recording usage rates over 19% in Division
I games.
On the flip side, Robert Morris has been the epitome of balance, rating
187th in offense and 183rd in defense. The Colonials also have distinct
areas in which they have thrived and struggled. On the plus side, they are
excellent on the offensive glass, plus rate in the upper half of the country
in 2P% and 3P% on both ends of the floor. On the downside, they both turn
the ball over and don’t force turnovers, as well as rank sub-350th in
FTA/FGA offense and defense. For the season, opponents are making
9.3 more free throws per game.
Thankfully for Robert Morris, the free-throw game might not decide this one.
Toledo already doesn’t send teams to the line (5th in FTA/FGA allowed), and
it isn’t great at drawing fouls (287th), either. A key for RMU will be
slowing down Toledo’s transition attack. The Rockets attempt 21.3% of shots
in transition in their wins, as opposed to 16.9% in losses.
On the other end, Toledo will look to limit RMU’s offensive rebounding. The
Rockets have struggled to get initial stops this season, and allowing
second-chances when they do are killers. Toledo is 0-3 when allowing an OR%
over 35% this season, while RMU has reached that mark in eight of 11 games.
