No doubt. A lot of those points and turnovers that went Grambling's way were with the bench in. They need those game-time experiences to work out their kinks.
On to the next one..

Indiana beat LMU 67-43. I expected a stronger showing than that.

Indiana beat LMU 67-43. I expected a stronger showing than that. They were tied 12-12 in Q1, and only up something like 7? At the half. I think Indy must have “Jayhawked” them and blew them up in the 4th Q. |

It also looks like both of the final scores from yesterday were a little misleading. Yotes were up 25 with 2 minutes left and starters sitting. LMU was within striking distance with 7 or 8 minutes left, but then stopped scoring, and IU had a scoring run in the last 2 minutes. I expect today's game with LMU to be tight.

67-53 final. They were up by 20 or 24 points when the bench completely replaced the starters. I didn't watch the 4th, but Grambling must have poured it on. They have a lot of quickness, but no size. I'll be curious to see the turnover numbers, they definitely were getting a lot of steals. When we replaced our starters with our bench players, Grambling kept their starters in and ran a full court press on our bench players. We turned the ball over several times while trying to get the ball up court. They took advantage of our bench players lack of experience in breaking the press and scored several easy buckets. |

Quick hits on LMU stats: (most of it found at the NCAA xtended stats site under "ranking summary", if you care to know my stats secret) stats.ncaa.org/rankings/ranking_summaryA lot of LMU's stats are in what I would call an average range(#100-#250 ranking), so decent all-around team. Here are the non-average stats: What LMU is good at: Rebounding16 Off Reb/game (#22) 43 Tot Reb/game (#46)---USD getting 39 (#147) +6.8 Reb margin (#49)---USD has +8.7 (#31) Passing15 Assists/game (#95)---USD getting 14.7 (#100) 3-Pt DefenseAllowing 27.2% (#65)----USD shooting 33.7% (#97) My interpretation of these stats is that LMU must be getting some good post play with regard to rebounding, put-backs, ball penetration, etc. When the bigs stay home in the paint, the guards can do a good job on arc shooters. Just a guess. |

I listened to the on-court postgame on 106.3 (streaming), and Coach P didn't seem too concerned with the final score. She was happy with the game overall, and just said something offhand about the end-of-game turnovers and the bench players getting experience. She also talked about wishing they were back in the SCSC so her girls could get ice baths for the three-day tourney. I guess our team has been spoiled a little with the facilities, and that's a good problem to have! |

What LMU is not good at:
Mid-long-range Shooting
59.1% FT (#326) ---- USD shoots 78.9% (#10)
28.3% 3PT (#255)----USD allows 31.6% (#201)
3.9 3PT/game (#321) --USD makes 8.1 (#54)
Fouling
20 Personal Fouls/game (#282) -- USD commits 18 (#194)
For the overall FG% to be average, they must score well at close range. Could be the bigs again, or the guards might be good at finding seams for dribble-drives? A good disciplined zone defense should be good at forcing outside shots, right? I think we have that. I predict an abnormally low score for the Lions. They are averaging 65.
Massey predicts 70-59. I'll guess 72-55.

Anyone watching the Indiana vs Grambling State game?! Grambling State up by 3 with :16.4 left in the 4th quarter!
And that's a final! Grambling State 65, Indiana 62.
