Tennessee Martin Roster Has Some Size

[Texas Western]

Tennesee Martin has some size.  Looks like a good team to start out against.

the 7'2" and 6'9" guys are both freshmen, so they might not play as big as that roster looks.   I know nothing about them though so they could be there best players.

This was a very good analysis. How effective will Myles Tyler be against us?

so I was right

Hard to tell. He's a poor man's Davante Gardner. Does most of his work in the post and at the FT stripe. He took double digit FTs in 5 games last season and makes them at about a 75% clip. Can hit from three but I would let him shoot from there all day (8-25 last season). Had monster games last season (34 and 11 against SE Louisiana) but mostly against weak competition. Against top competition he was much less effective. (13 and 5 against UNLV, 8 and 3 against Arkansas, 7 and 7 against Belmont). Also susceptible to foul trouble, fouled out 3 times and had 4 fouls in 14 games (including a run of six in a row). This is also his fourth season as a starter for the Skyhawks.

I imagine Teve and Bane will be guarding him. They should be able to handle his size but will need to avoid cheap fouls. Hopefully going against Davante in practice last season will help them with this matchup.

Wow, 7'2'' and 225 is an absolute beanpole. Hopefully the sheer height doesn't give us trouble, but he won't be muscling anybody in the post.

Kenpom has them at 334 out of 351 in division 1 basketball. 8-23 last year. They finished dead last, 351 in the country in defensive efficiency. Hopefully bad habits aren't formed when they play OSU.

Was it South Florida that had that absolute monster of a man that we played against a couple years ago or was it somebody else.  He didn't do much but he was fun to watch just because he made Ox look like a child.

Yeah USF had Emagbhen? Or something like that. 7'2 350 but he didn't do anything.

Gilcrest or Fitzpatrick.  Unless you're thinking of Domique Jones? That guy was truly a beast in college.

He's talking about Jordan Omogbehin. 7-3 315 lbs....but was terrible at basketball

[RushmoreAcademy]

Here he is. 
He's so large it looks photoshopped.
