Do they benefit from having played in Milwaukee for the NCAA tournament? They won two games in our arena.

No more than any conference opponent does playing in our arena every year.

Probably not.
This time, they'll be operating out of the visitors' locker room, pictured here:

Exactly.  MUScoop protocol is in this area with regards to sarcasm/etc is so indecipherable at this point that all I could determine from this thread is that Caleb Swanigan probably announced something and I should go look elsewhere to see what it is.

Caleb could also make threes and I do not think Luke ever took one.
Watching Caleb in the NCAA tournament made me think on the boards that he was a bigger version of Delgato.

Interesting to compare and contrast Swanigan and Henry Ellenson.

Measurements
Henry has ideal physical tools for an NBA power forward. He measured 6-11.5 with shoes and 242 pounds at last year's draft combine, with a wingspan of 7-2.25 and a standing reach of 9-0.

Swanigan measured 6-8.5 with shoes and 246 pounds at this year's combine. His conditioning was a big concern a year ago. Wingspan (7-3) and standing reach (9-0) were nearly identical with Ellenson. Those few inches of height can mean everything to NBA general managers.

Skill set
Similar in many regards. Neither is what I'd call quick or explosive, but Henry has clearly been more productive in blocked shots and steals. I'd also give Henry the nod in ball handling and overall offensive versatility, although Caleb made great strides this season. Shooting ability between the two is very close, with range out to the three-point line, as is rebounding.
