Bryant, under new coach Phil Martelli Jr., are at 5th/3rd tomorrow night. The Bulldogs show their record at 6-5, but two of those wins were against D2 competition. KenPom ranks them at #216, whereas UC sits at #30. The Bulldogs are offensively inefficient (#304), but well above average at the defensive end (#102).
Bryant has played three decent teams, losing to all three, with two of the losses reasonably close: @ Rutgers 66-57 and @ FAU 61-52. They also fell @ Cintas, 100-75. The Bulldogs most recent game was a road loss to Stony Brook, 86-75, this past Saturday.
Martelli essentially uses a six-man rotation. Two other players see about four minutes apiece. The scoring is balanced, but they are guard oriented.
If the Cats shoot better than in Saturday's mess, they should be able to handle Bryant with no problems.
