Nevada At A Glance

Clark Kellogg really likes ISU. Seth doesn't.

All I know is that they had this absolutely insane comeback. Pretty good indicator they never quit.

 

[CycloneBBFan]

I don't love the fact that Hallice has inside info on us

Inside info = ISU won Big 12 tournament. I'm scared now.

 

[CloneinWDSM]

Nevada has taken 40.2% of its shots from behind-the-arc. 811 attempts this season.

Clark is pretty smart, Seth isn't.

I'm not just saying that because I don't like the pick, I literally don't understand how the guy has a job doing what he does.

In some ways Nevada does have some similarities to ISU:
1) Shoots a lot of 3s and makes a lot
2) Low offensive turnovers rate
3) Play fast tempo (ISU doesn't always but it definitely capable)
4) Does not foul much on defense.

ISU wins if it:
1) can keep Nevada from shooting a lower than 35% from 3
2) allows Nevada less than 25 FT attempts
3) creates turnovers
4) does not give up too many offensive rebounds

Kara Lawson likes Nevada too. Shocking

Team that is hot from 3 wins this game IMO. We have got to defend the 3 and not get caught in a trap of if they are hitting 3's then we have to start chucking 3's..

 

[WastedTalent]

101st in defensive efficiency. Oklahoma State lite? Any team that goes 28-6 is good, but I like a matchup with any team that wants to play fast and doesn't get after it defensively.

Agree. Also seem similar to our first round matchup last year, Iona.

 

[awd4cy]

I admittedly know next to nothing about Nevada. After looking into them more, I'm becoming less and less worried.

 

[ISU2]

have watched this team a few times, caroline will be our biggest problem

Nevada is also a good 3 pt. defensive team....

Nevada is also a good 3 pt. defensive team....

But can they handle Buford?

 

[jay moe]

A team that can shoot the 3 as well as the Wolfpack does is always a concern. Just hoping the team doesn't look past them and towads Purdue or the fact that a matchup in KC vs the Jayhawks is looming.

 

[Tornado man]

Clark Kellogg really likes ISU. Seth doesn't.

Kellogg seemed to be pretty outspoken (for him) on the bracket. Picked Villanova to win it again.

 

[everyyard]

What sort relevant inside info could possibly be of any concern whatsoever?

He might spill the beans about Monte being a great point guard.

 

[Althetuna]

Kenpom ISU:17 Nevada:55

 

[CycloneVet]

Don't forget the Milwaukee factor. I expect laser Sharp focus by our Milwaukee natives

 

[madguy30]

Biggest challenge will be not to overlook them - up to coach and seniors to make sure that doesn't happen.

I have total faith in this team playing hard. It's an established habit.

If Nevada catches fire and is simply better when they play, so be it (although that would still be devastating), but I just don't see it being due to a lack of focus.

I hope more and more "experts" keep saying this leading up to Thursday. Don't want a UAB situation happening again.
