Bad news, good news come tournament time

With reference to the tournament, the bad news about this team is that we are only an OK 3-point-shooting team, and these days it usually is getting hot from the arc that gets teams into the Dance. Furthermore, we are not a terribly good team at defending the arc against those type teams, so they are likely to go on a team and blow us out of games.


The good news is that a lot of teams that get hot from the arc and blow people out that way are fairly one-dimensional teams, and we are a notch above that. We have size. We have a good-shooting big man. We are at least competitive rebounding. While our perimeter defense is not great, it is not horrible, either, and we do have a reliable lock-down defender, and another in the making. We have a couple of very quick guards, and multiple three-point threats. We are not overly strong in any one factor, but we are reasonably good in several. That could stand us in good stead, especially if we can somehow manage to get into the semifinal bye.
