@ Omaha

[kiyoat]

On paper this should be a layup for the Yotes, especially how they have been playing in the last couple of games.  I was way off in my prediction @ndsu, so I will be a little more skeptical for this one.  Matchups to come...

[kiyoat]

scoring matchup:

USD averages 75.1 PPG / UNO allows 62.6 = average 69
UNO averages 69.2 PPG / USD allows 65.2 = average 67

I think our defense has been better lately. I'll go with the Yotes 69-60.

[kiyoat]

Shooting efficiency:

USD is shooting 47.1% FG / UNO allows 38.0!! = average 43%
UNO is shooting 44.5% FG / USD allows 41.1 = average 43%

USD is shooting 38.4% 3pt / UNO allows 30.1 = average 34%
UNO is shooting 37.2% 3pt / USD allows 37.8 = average 38%

the #1 shooting team vs the #1 shooting defense will be a key matchup. I hope our 3-pt defense holds up.

[kiyoat]

Rebound Margin and Turnover Margin:

USD averages +8.1 Rebounds and -1.72 Turnovers
UNO averages +5.6 Rebounds and -2.76 Turnovers

We have a slight edge in both of these. I think we limit their scoring by limiting possessions.

[kiyoat]

Now for the Free-throw shooting:

USD has had 323 FT Attempts in 18 games = 18 per game
UNO has had 219 FT Attempts in 17 games = 13 per game

USD averages 17.9 Personal Fouls/game
UNO averages 15.2 Personal Fouls/game

USD shoots 81.4% Free Throws
UNO shoots 68.5% Free Throws

We may be a little more foul-happy (+3/gm), but we are better at drawing fouls (+5 attempts).
Again, I think our accuracy at the Charity Stripe would prevent us from losing a close game.
(I don't think it will be a close game)

Is this game on ESPN3?

The Coyotes are flying high coming into the game. I don't think things will come as easy as they did against a good Oral Roberts club but I do think the Coyotes will win this one. 76-67 sounds about right for the Coyotes this afternoon. The Coyotes can't relax at all because without a good performance the Mavs are capable of pulling off the upset today if the Yotes play like they did up in Fargo.

Tip at 2PM

I think it is only available on the Omaha web site for a fee. If anyone finds out any different please let us know.

Not listening, but with 5:00 left in the 1st half its Omaha 24, USD 21

[coyotecrazie5]

29-23 Omaha @ half

[Coyote Fan]

5:12 to go and Omaha leads by 1.

Allison for 3 and it is 45-43

[Coyote Fan]

Omaha is a mid level Summit team but it just shows that the depth is getting better in the league except for maybe Fort Wayne. I think it would be asking for a little much to expect the Coyotes to win big in both of these road games this week.

45-45 with 4:00 to go.

Allison again for 3, 48-45 Coyotes.

[Coyote Fan]

Mavs for 3 and it's 48 a piece.

Now Omaha retakes the lead with a deuce.

2:01 left 50-48.

Fogg with the counter. 50-50

[Coyote Fan]

Allison a layup and one. Wow is she a beast.

free throw good and with 1:20 left 53-50 Coyotes.
