This team is looking to improve on their all-time record in the NCAA Tournament of six wins and seven losses. They have not earned a berth since 2004, but they are ranked in the top 25. They value the ball, limiting their turnovers to 11.8 per game (Houston leads the nation with 9 turnovers per game). This ball control limits the number of easy baskets scored by opponents. Maybe that is why they are holding those opponents to 38 percent from the field, including 28.7 percent from behind the arc. These numbers keep opposing offenses to 60 points a game while this team scores 67 a contest. Their strength of schedule is ranked 55th, but they are 2-0 against ranked teams. They have won two of three against the SEC and beaten the only Big12 team they have played.  That is why they rank in the top 30 of the RPI.

Name that team.

    Does it start with a K? And would Dorothy feel at home there?

    Sorry, does not start with a K. Dorothy might feel at home there. I don’t know. I suppose it all depends if Auntie Em decided to leave the farm and retire to another state. :)
