I think BG is slipping under the radar a tad and they're gonna be a tough out come March. They played a pretty tough non-conference schedule and faired a lot better than Ohio did.
W over Kansas State
L to Davidson by 4 (currently 8-2 in a stacked A-10)
L to William & Mary by 8 (currently 8-3, in the top 4 of the CAA)
L to Utah Valley by 11 (currently 8-3, in the top 2 of the WAC)
You could say those losses to William & Mary and Utah Valley are bad right now, but we'll see how bad they really are later in the year.
BG is just a bad matchup for us at the guards and wings. We "should" be able to punish them inside with Simmons, Hadaway and Breath because out of all their size, Towns is leading them in rebounds. The other two bigs for BG, Wol and Glover, only average 20 minutes per game. Wol is more of an AJ Clayton type, wanting to stay outside and shoot threes (2nd most attempts on the team). I'm not sure why Glover doesn't get more minutes, because he's averaging almost a double-double per 40 minutes, but I'm guessing he and Wol split time off the bench and Wol's 3pt shooting is more valuable.
