[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 527855, member: 1199"] They only have one guy over 6-6, but everyone plays like they are 6-6. Blackshear is their inside game. I heard my VT pal say he may be their best big ever. That said, he has been in foul trouble in a number of games this year. I am not sure it hurts them a lot. They run a 4 out offense and try to get penetration in order to kick out to one of their sharpshooting guards, They also like to pull up on a fast break and hit threes. If they get hot (and they can get get red hot) it can be hard to beat them. They are scrappy on defense, just trying to make you work for shots. They don't seem to get a lot of steals, but their opponents make a ton of turnovers (at least when I was watching). Stats to note: As a team they hit 45% of their threes and 51% of all FGs. They average 81 points per game. You cannot let Alexander-Walker run loose because his eFG% is 66%. That is just unreal. They only have six guys with a lot of minutes. One of those is Ty Outlaw who comes off the bench firing away from deep. He hits 50% of his threes. If he isn't already, Robinson will likely be their all time assists leader. Remember Ahmed Hill that we recruited? He is probably their 5th or 6th best player. I don't think I have seen a real weak spot on their team. They are better shooting from outside, but they don't mind penetrating if you don't protect inside. And Blackshear is a good big. [/QUOTE]
