  1. My understanding is that you have a very good team and I believe you are favored in this game. The Billiken players make a big difference in who determines the game, but since my knowledge on St. Louis is limited and yours is not, I chose not to post a scouting report on your players. Instead, I merely sought to correct one's misinformation about Cleanthony Early and offer a scouting report on the WSU guards for those that are interested.
  2. WSU fan here and I'm looking forward to a good game today! I know that playing at St. Louis will be one of our toughest tests all season and I hope we are up to it. I did want to respond to this quote as Cleanthony Early is a great guy and there is no animosity between he and Coach Marshall (or anyone else on staff). This is the first disparaging remark I've ever heard in regards to Cleanthony as a person. Second, I have no idea who has the superior guards in this contest, but we tend to believe that our guards are some of the top guards in the country. They did quite well against Ohio State and Gonzaga last year in the tourney as freshman, though our PG (VanVleet) did struggle against Louisville. For those that haven't seen them play, here's a little scouting report: VanVleet is our 5-11, 200 lb sophomore PG. He averages 13 and 5.4 assists along with 1.4 turn overs per game. He shoots 50% from 2 and 3. He isn't overly athletic, but he knows how to run a basketball team and get to the rim. Baker is 6-3, 210 lb RS sophomore wing and backs up the PG. He is a great long range shooter with a quick release so he doesn't need much space. He also has good handles and is able to get to the rim or hit the midrange jumper. He's an excellent passer averaging 3.9 assists to 1 turn over and can rebound some. He hustles and has a high basketball IQ. His defense is average and he averages 15 ppg. The third wing is 6-2, 215 lb junior Tekele Cotton. He can run some point and can shoot a little (10 ppg) but what he does best is play defense. In our BYU game he guarded 20 point scorer Haws in the first half and held him to 4 points (all free throws). Their secondary wing went off for 17 in the first half so he switched assignments to their other 20 point scorer. He was held scoreless in the second. Cotton also got the assignment on 6-8 Doug McDermott one game last year and held him to 12 points. Off the bench is Andrew Wiggins' older brother Nick. Nick is a 6-6, 200 lb senior. He scores from outside and in. Phenomenal up and down athlete, but doesn't have the same basketball IQ or toughness of the three that start in the backcourt. Good luck and I look forward to seeing how we match up.
