Re: Elite 8
I have a feeling that the NSU coaches have a better scouting report than this.
ESU is very well coached. Offensively they look to run, pass over the top, and have runners releasing on both sidelines with every possession. The need to be slowed in their back court or it will be a tough day. They have shooters and 20 has plenty of range. However they are patient and probably what they do better than almost all other teams is time the post entry pass. It is a far more coordinated piece than you will see from most teams. This allows their posts to catch the ball whille the defender is still setting up or in a bad defensive position. Harris can score with his right or left with a jump hook, but his range is limited and he is a back to the basket player. They have plenty of others who can attack while facing the basket. Defensively they will pressure from the first whistle. They will also pressure in non-typical/unpredictable times. You cannot in-bound to the corners as they will trap aggressively. They pressure the ball from behind effectively speeding up the game. They challenge every shot around the basket, and have the length and depth on the bench to do this all game. They play 10 guys, I think, and there is not a huge drop off in talent and no difference in athleticism or cohesiveness, especially defensively.

Re: Elite 8
The three ball looks completely removed. Northern's guards are big and they aren't giving up the deep look. That said getting to the half was big. That place is pretty electric. Just down 6 with the way ESU can create turnovers ... they're certainly still in this game. ESU seems to always play much better in the second half as they tire out the opponent. They'll calm down some at the half and those shots will start falling.
I know they only play Harris about 25 mpg but they gotta keep him in there when at all possible. Northern has some big boys down there.
