DJ Horne (Guard) vs. Pop Isaacs (Guard)

DJ Horne has been no less wonderful as a guard for the NC State Wolfpack this season. In 35 games, Horne has played on average 32.1 minutes per game, scoring an astonishing 16.9 points per contest. His agility and especially the 41.3% accuracy from above the line have made him an important player of the team. On the other hand, he could have problems with assists and rebounds if played against a diversified and all-around opponent.

In addition, Pop Isaacs functions as the leader for the fighting team of Red Raiders. Playing 33 out of 45 games, Isaacs has an average of one minute more than Horne and scores 15.9 points per game. His greatest weapon is passing which is manifested in his higher assists’ average and fantastic 83.6% free throw accuracy. Though he might have slightly lower field goal and 3-point percentages, Isaacs’s clutch ability won’t let Texas Tech down in any circumstance.

It is expected that this match-up between the two best players is bound to set the atmosphere abuzz, as all will await for the jump ball that will signal a true high-stakes duel. Horne’s shots against Isaacs’s passes and free-throw skills form an engrossing duel. Their performance will be vital for their teams’ triumph, but it will also determine how the game course will go.

On the contrary, the Texas Tech Red Raiders with a somewhat smaller total of 75.6 points per game reveal a more balanced strategy. Their solid performance is based on effective strategies and good results on the offensive and defensive sides. More blocks and missed turnovers are employed by Tech instead of the Wolfpack, where its disciplined game pattern is highlighted along with slightly better 3-point field goal accumulation of a team that both defends ferociously and attacks well.
