SignUp Now!And yet UNC hasn't underachieved that often relative to seeding.Yeah I had heard this a few years ago as an explanation on why Gonzaga, who typically runs at fast pace, has had some tournament struggles. Interesting as it relates to Alabama, who has also flamed out under Oats in the last few years despite being a high seed, as well as Arizona’s very poor performance in the tourney in the first few years under Lloyd, a Few disciple.
Agree. That's why the year I was least nervous about a 1st or 2nd round upset for Duke was 2018. We were 2nd in the entire country in offensive rebounding according to https://www.teamrankings.com/ncaa-basketball/stat/offensive-rebounding-pct?date=2018-04-03. I also thought that our emphasis on scoring around the rim would mean less variability in overall offensive performance.Under Roy, no, they hadn't. I don't think their pace has been quite as breakneck under Davis. I think their emphasis on offensive rebounding under Roy had helped them achieve a kind of floor (mainly in connection with shot attempt advantages) over the non-Power 6 teams and it made them a bit less upset prone.
