If you want to see a future NBA draft pick that brings everything that most basketball junkies like to see - like rebounding, hustle, thunderous dunks and emphatic blocks - then tune in tomorrow to the U(I believe) to watch Morehead State's Kenneth Faried. He's a monster in the middle at only 6'8". It surprises me that he is playing mid-major ball, I think they make the tournament this year and he puts up gaudy rebounding numbers just like he has all season long.

Stats from tonight's semi-final versus Austin Peay:
12 points, 21 boards, 3 steals, 7 blocks.

He averages 14 boards a game this season and if you like inside game then he's your huckleberry. They play Tennessee Tech tomorrow at 7 central

Is he the next Dennis Rodman or getting his stats against inferior competition?

Faried is excellent. Screw state pride, I want to see Morehead win and grab a 15 just to see Faried take on a great team again.

FWIW, Hopson's high school teammate and all-OVC performer Tyshwan Edmonson played in this game as well. I'm not sure I understand the reasons for the stat line, but he has had a big season for the Govs.

Wouldn't they have to still make it past one of the 4 play-in games?

Only two of the games are for 16 v. 16 seeds. Morehead would (currently) either grab the last 15 or the first 16.

:hi:

Wasn't up to date on where the play-in games came in to play. I thought all of the 16 seeds were in jeopardy

24 points, 15(6 offensive) boards and 5 blocks. Can't wait to see him in the Tourney.

This tournament is shaping up to be the craziest in years...all I can say is Faried might just make himself a household name the first Thursday/Friday if they draw a 15.
