East No. 14 Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks (Overall: 27-5, Conf: 18-0)
Team Strengths
Brad Underwood is yet to miss an NCAA tournament in his tenure as head coach. He may have his best team to date with the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks going on a 20-0 romp toward the Big Dance. The Lumberjacks have forced opponents into plenty of turnovers with their press. They’re 13th in the nation in scoring defense (63.2 points allowed per game). They also score boat loads ranking 21st with 80.7 points per game.
Team Weaknesses
The Lumberjacks love to press and force their opponents into turnovers. But they’re not too good in grabbing rebounds. They’re ranked 221st in rebounds per game (35.3) in the nation. Failing to secure rebounds may have the Lumberjacks missing out on precious second chance points, or giving their opponents more opportunities to score.Team Stats
