The Bobcats are 11-10 overall and 5-7 in conference. Since we played them last they are 2-6, so they are in somewhat of a slide. However last time out they beat South Alabama in Mobile.
This is a team that hangs its hat on defense, and they do it very well. Opponents shoot 40.5% against them over all and 29.5% from the arc. Last time out we went up against a good perimeter-defensive team and did not fare well at all. We will see if things go any better this time around.
They have only one double-figure scorer - Emani Gant at 13.8, and he is also their leading rebounder at 6.8. Their stats do not really catch the eye, except for the 3PT defensive percentage.
Sagarin projects the game as a virtual tie. RealtimeRPI picks us by 3.
In three of the last four games our shooting has been really pathetic, the only exception being (thankfully) Arkansas State.
