Bored at work (can that happen at 8:30 in the morning?), so I thought I'd get it going a good 13.5 hours before tip off.

In the pomeroy rankings, we are #147 and Rice is #148.

We are #3 in the nation in effective FG%.

Effective Field Goal Percentage; the formula is (FG + 0.5 * 3P) / FGA. This statistic adjusts for the fact that a 3-point field goal is worth one more point than a 2-point field goal. For example, suppose Player A goes 4 for 10 with 2 threes, while Player B goes 5 for 10 with 0 threes. Each player would have 10 points from field goals, and thus would have the same effective field goal percentage (50%).

We have got to reduce the turnovers and dominate on the defensive boards. Basically, deny Rice second chances and additional opportunities. We are a better team but the last 3 games we have not played discipline basketball. Simple things, protect the ball and dominate the boards and we will do well.

I am pretty sure that only the QFs on will be broadcasted on CBS CS (and the final is on CBS).
