The games they score a lot, it is offensive rebounding and turnovers. IMHO, the shooting issues are going to cause them to struggle against the better teams in conference. Theoretically, for example, we should be able to outscore them at home. So I don't think they will really turn things around and compete.
They seem to be one of those teams struggling a bit with the new three-point distance. Sometimes a couple of inches really can make a difference.

Tulsa might have a tough road game at an improving USF today. Memphis will have a tough road game at UConn tomorrow but I don't expect Tulane to do much at Wichita State tomorrow and expect Cincy to be able to handle ECU better than we did in Greenville. Temple has an opportunity game with Villanova. UConn played Nova tough earlier this year and you never know in those battles for Philly.
