Hubris - I love it, totally looking past the goofy red grimace-looking Hilltopper mascot team.

I got Florida.

Boise St.

Cody Williams from Colorado is a probable top-10 pick in the NBA draft. Some places project him as overall #1
long thin guy around 6-8.
Those lottery picks scare me (I remember Ja), although he's a frosh
They also have a couple others projected to be drafted this year.

missed a couple weeks with an ankle(?) injury, and really didn't do much in the conf tourney.

The matchup with Florida’s rebounding numbers spooks me, though losing Handlogten today probably takes a big toll for them.

Western Kentucky is the only focus right now

We're Marquette. We can the the NCAA "NO" and head to the NIT.

The guy on the CBS Sports Network just predicted the South Region. He’s picking Florida in the first round. The reason he gave was Micah Handlogten. Somebody really should tell him.

Yeah he was a top ~5 rebounder in the country. Certainly not their best player, but he would have caused us fits.

Our opponent will be Colorado...should we survive WKU.

Handlogten only averaged 20minutes a game but was second on the team in rebounding.

The team goes through Pullin and Clayton. Pullin basically has 5 to 1 a/t rate. Both can get to the basket and put up points. Clayton is their main three point threat followed by Richard. 2/3 of Richard’s shots and over half of Clayton’s come from behind the arc.

Their main post presence is Samuel and he will be backed up by Condon. Good news is neither is a 7ft beast.

Their defense is suspect but they have put up big numbers on offense.

I haven’t had a chance to look at Colorado yet.
