How do we match up against them? And are they from California? And did they lose to Michigan State by a point?

Good matchup IMO.

Brian needs to do well vs. Oakland's Benson
We need to contain Hamilton

It is Oakland, MI... They do have a heckuva C, and our Big's better bring it tonight. They played MI ST in a great game while we were waxing Pitt

They've got some really big guys in the 4 and 5 positions, starting and on the bench.

From what I heard that 6'11 center is legit. Brian Williams and John Fields better be ready to go

Probably going to have to have a defender slouch and double when he gets the ball. Don't think either Fields or Brian can guard him 1 on 1.

Yeah, Rochester Hills MI. Was a small no name school until a couple years ago then they made the Tournament and played North Carolina. This got their name out there and people started to want to go there from the Metro Detroit Area. Their Center Keith Benson is really good played hs ball at Powerhouse Detroit Country Day where Chris Webber, Shaine Battier, and Ray McCallum played. DCD is one of my high schools rivals and I've seen him play in high school. I'll be a little nervous about Benson he can score and rebound, but he is easily pushed around in the paint. They have a Hamilton and Wright who can score. Wright had a Hopsonesque game against MSU shooting lights out. We should win but its going to be tougher than we think.

He's not projected in this years draft IIRC. He is projected as a 1st rounder in NEXT years NBA draft if my memory serves me correctly

Take it up with the "Tennessean", they are the ones that printed it today. I was just typing what they said.

benson will put up good numbers and have his way out there...nothing against fields or williams but he is just that good of a player and easily the most talented big man they have faced so far. Plus benson usually has big games against the power teams. I just see him being there only bright spot as our length will kill their 3 pt shooting big time. The only reason they shot lights out against msu from deep is because msu guards range from 5'10-6'1. I think we'll pull away midway through the second half and win by 12-15
