How they are coming up with 13 points is beyond me…I guess we will find out soon enough…
Well… the stats you showed there should be qualified by mentioning three things.
#1 we are at home. I think that can and often does matter a lot more in basketball than it does in football.
#2 we played a tougher schedule than you, according to real time rpi we played the 29th toughest schedule so far and FAU played the 272nd toughest schedule (and WKU has the better record against a much tougher schedule). So comparing stats to start with might be deceptive. http://www.realtimerpi.com/rpi_Men.html
#3 a lot of those stats are not adjusted for pace of game. McDonald has WKU slowing it down a good bit this year, looks like FAU is playing more possessions in general which means you will get more points, rebounds etc. per game.
So those are probably the kinds of things that would go into the 13 point spread.
All in all, it could be an interesting game, if we blow you out it will be the first time this year (that we have blown out a team). I really don't expect a blowout but anything is possible. And I think you guys will be much, much tougher by the time we play you down there next month (regardless of what happens tonight).
