Best Player:
Hasheem Thabeet C 7-3 263 JR.
Thabeet is a 7-3 monster of a center, who has finally started to figure it out on the offensive end of the floor. He is shooting a Career high 67% from the field and has had rebounding preformances of 17, 17, and 18 respectively. Thabeet is quite possibly the premier big man in the nation this season. Potentially a top pick in next years NBA draft.
My Take:
I am scared, honestly. I cant help but be a little intimidated by the size and strengh of UConns frontline. The Zags have not played as deep a frontline and there may not be a deeper one in the country. Jeff Adrien and Hasheem Thabeet are going to pose matchup problems gallore down low. Heytvelt is going to be forced to settle for short range jumpers and our only real hope for dominance will be the guard play of Pargo, Gray, Bouldin and Goodson. Heres hoping we can pull off the upset and beat UConn for the 2nd straight season.
