| A suggestion to the avid basketball fan...
If you want to see a future NBA draft pick that brings everything that most basketball junkies like to see - like rebounding, hustle, thunderous dunks and emphatic blocks - then tune in tomorrow to the U(I believe) to watch Morehead State's Kenneth Faried. He's a monster in the middle at only 6'8". It surprises me that he is playing mid-major ball, I think they make the tournament this year and he puts up gaudy rebounding numbers just like he has all season long.
Stats from tonight's semi-final versus Austin Peay:
12 points, 21 boards, 3 steals, 7 blocks.
He averages 14 boards a game this season and if you like inside game then he's your huckleberry. They play Tennessee Tech tomorrow at 7 central |

| Is he the next Dennis Rodman or getting his stats against inferior competition? | |

| Faried is excellent. Screw state pride, I want to see Morehead win and grab a 15 just to see Faried take on a great team again.

| FWIW, Hopson's high school teammate and all-OVC performer Tyshwan Edmonson played in this game as well. I'm not sure I understand the reasons for the stat line, but he has had a big season for the Govs.

Posted via VolNation Mobile | Wouldn't they have to still make it past one of the 4 play-in games?

Wasn't up to date on where the play-in games came in to play. I thought all of the 16 seeds were in jeopardy
