How did Arizona hold Purdue to their 2nd worst offensive performance of the season? One of the key elements of their gameplan was using a hugger and roamer. Staying attached to #2 Loyer and roaming off #4 Kaufman-Renn. And Arizona's #5 Burries did a great job as the roamer: stunting, shrinking gaps and tagging rollers. Being a good roamer is a vastly underrated skill.

Because of the way Illinois guarded Cenac, he was able to get multiple open looks, but just not in effecient spots. A lot of his shot attempts were short corner mid range jump shots. They also let him shoot 3s, but at 33% and less than 1 make per game, Illinois let him shoot

The Illini also allowed Houston to play off the short roll, forcing their other bigs to make decisions. Houston has a group of elite bigs who are great at a lot of things but playing out of the short roll and shooting 3s is something they struggle with at times
