RECAP: Stanford Males’s Basketball survives at San Jose State
On UT Arlington: The Mavericks’ seven wins have come towards UNT Dallas, Arlington Baptist, Missouri State, Evansville, Weber State, Stephen F. Austin, and UTRGV. Of that batch of wins, the win over Weber State is essentially the most spectacular because it was on the street at Weber State, which isn’t a straightforward place to win. Weber State additionally is often a reasonably stable staff. The Mavericks have misplaced to Campbell (impartial ground), New Mexico (street recreation), and Arkansas State (street recreation).
The Mavericks are led by senior ahead Raysean Seamster, who’s averaging 15.9 factors and 6.9 rebounds per recreation on 56.3% taking pictures from the sphere, 29.6% taking pictures from 3-point vary, and 54.8% taking pictures from the foul line. The opposite participant scoring in double figures on common is senior guard Marcell McCreary, who’s averaging 12.2 factors and 4.8 rebounds per recreation on 44.6% taking pictures from the sphere, 34.1% taking pictures from 3-point vary, and 80.6% taking pictures from the foul line. The 2 of them kind a stable one-two punch with sophomore guard Money Chavis (9.4 factors) because the quantity three possibility.
Keys to the sport: For Stanford, the very first thing they should do is crash the glass. The Mavericks common a +10.8 rebound margin per recreation whereas the Cardinal common a +5.9 rebound margin per recreation. Stanford has to match Arlington’s power on the glass. They’re a scrappy staff, which little question has helped them win some shut video games. AJ Rohosy (10.3 factors & 6.1 rebounds) might want to play a significant position within the paint as soon as once more.
Secondly, Stanford must win the 3-point battle. Stanford shoots 35.4% from 3-point vary whereas Arlington shoots .279%. Stanford additionally permits groups to shoot 36.2% from 3-point vary whereas Arlington permits groups to shoot 25.0%. Backside line is Stanford shoots higher from 3-point vary whereas not defending it as properly after which Arlington doesn’t shoot it as properly, however does a greater job defending. Whichever staff does a greater job taking pictures from deep could have an edge on this recreation.
Lastly, Stanford must make their free throws. Actually easy. Free throws iced the sport towards San Jose State. Free throws value them the sport towards UNLV. Make your free throws. Particularly should you get to the road quite a bit. Not difficult.
Prediction: Stanford has been a bit of shaky at dwelling, however tonight I believe they pull via. Even when Ebuka Okorie isn’t a go. Stanford 83 UT Arlington 72 is how I see this one going.
