NCAA tournament bracket busters to remember for March Madness
Wofford is outscoring opponents by 18.8 points per 100 possessions, the 25th best mark in the nation per Pomeroy.
Fear the Terriers. Wofford is outscoring opponents by 18.8 points per 100 possessions, the 25th best mark in the nation per Pomeroy, making them a dangerous foe in the 2019 NCAA tournament. Moreover, three-point shooting and the creation of extra possessions off turnovers and offensive rebounds are key indicators of teams ready to pull of an upset in the Big Dance, making Wofford one to watch.
Buffalo, a No. 13 seed, upset No. 4 seed Arizona last year in first round by a decisive margin, 89-68, putting them on the radar for another dazzling performance this time around. The Bulls won’t be a double-digit seed in 2019 but they can be a team that makes it further than you might think a No. 7 seed can.
The most frequent lineup used by Coach Nate Oates, which features Perkins, Massinburg, Jeremy Harris, Jayvon Graves and Davonta Jordan, is small — Perkins is the tallest on the court at 6-foot-8 — allowing them to dial up the tempo and put opponents on their heels. In 2018-19, Buffalo ranks seventh in tempo while scoring 1.1 points per possession in transition.
