UW MADISON CHEM DRAW 19.0 FREE
The two of them combine to shoot 238 of 451(52.8%) inside the arc, have only attempted 11 threes all season, both have attempted more free throws than Jon Leuer on the season, and both are fantastic offensive rebounders. The second- and third-leading scorers are forwards 6'9" Mick Hedgepeth and 6'10" Scott Saunders. This isn't to say that the team is completely perimeter-oriented though.
Sophomore shooting guard Ian Clark (6'3") is the leading scorer on the team, taking a nearly equal amount of shots on each side of the arc, shooting 55% inside and 44% outside. Unfortunately for Belmont, this aggressiveness has resulted in a sub-1.00 assist-to-turnover ratio and a turnover rate near 30%. He makes more than half of his twos and has attempted more free throws than field goals. On the other hand, Johnson attempts only one three a game, but is very aggressive attacking the basket. Each brings their own unique style as Hanlen is a three-point bomber, attempting nearly four triples a game and knocking down a respectable 34.6% of them, but has substantial trouble in the land of trees, making a putrid 37.5% of his twos. The primary ballhandlers for Belmont are Drew Hanlen and Kerron Johnson. Belmont attempts five three-point attempts for every seven two-point attempts, which is a tad more often than Wisconsin's four to every six. Their offense is up-tempo (9th fastest team in the tournament), resulting in easy transition scores from attacking the basket and spot-up threes.
No one on the Bruins roster scores more than 13 points a game, but they have three double-digit scorers and six guys that score between 5 and 10 points a game. Comparatively, Wisconsin has two guys, Jordan Taylor and Jon Leuer, who use more than 24%, and five guys that use less than 15.7% of them.
Only a player, Scott Saunders, uses more than 24% of the possessions when they are on the court, and only one, Adam Barnes, uses less than 15.7% of them. Offense = When Belmont has the ball, they are a rather equal opportunity offense. Jeff Sagarin predicts a 4-point Badger victory. Ken Pomeroy predicts a 66-63 Badger victory in 59 possessions, with a 39% chance of upset. Or Pitt and us meeting as 3 and 6 seeds in the second round despite being ranked #4 and #5 in Pomeroy's rankings.įorum to Visit: Atlantic Sun Team Talk - Belmont It's along the same lines of Florida State getting us in 2009, as we were actually considered marginally better than them by Pomeroy despite our seed being a 12 seed and FSU being a 5 seed. As such, Ken Pomeroy ranks them as the 18th best team in the country, or having the ability of a 5 seed. Nevertheless, Wisconsin's opponent of Belmont, while sporting a rather weak schedule, dominated their conference. If they were to advance to the Sweet 16 after that, they would likely face 1 seed Pitt, or maybe 8 seed Butler or 9 seed Old Dominion. If they are able to advance to the second round, they will face a 5 seed Kansas State squad or a 12 seed Utah State squad.
Their first round opponent in Tucson are the Bruins of Belmont, the 30-4 Atlantic Sun Conference champions. Opening Comment: It's that time of year again! Wisconsin enters the 2011 NCAA Tournament with a 23-8 record, earning a 4 seed from the committee.
