Marching to Madness, Episode 909 – UC Irvine head coach Russell Turner

Coach Turner once again has his Anteaters battling for the top spot in Big West basketball. Currently, they hold a one-game lead over UC Irvine and they match up with a solid rival in UCSB on Thursday night before playing at UC San Diego on Saturday evening. This team is known for it’s stingy defense as well as connectivity on offense as those are two keys in building a tough team that has potential in March.

Topics of discussion include:

  • The Anteaters’ control of defensive analytics, via kenpom.com, in the Big West
  • Building a three-point attack as part of the overall offensive scheme
  • Justin Hohn, Andre Henry, and Pierre Cockrell on the perimeter
  • Coach Turner closes on his ninth 20-win season with the Anteaters

… And Much More!
