March 30, 2010
By Nate Waggenspack
Likely Starters for Dayton:
Kurt Huelsman
Chris Wright
Chris Johnson
Marcus Johnson
London Warren
Likely Starters for Ole Miss:
DeAundre Cranston
Murphy Holloway
Eniel Polynice
Terrico White
Chris Warren
Head-to-Heads:
Huelsman v. Cranston--Neither center scores very much or grabs many boards. Look for Huelsman's defensive prowess to completely shut Cranston down.
Advantage: Dayton
Wright v. Holloway--Holloway is an athlete that can keep up with Wright, and he averages 10.1 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, while also having 49 steals on the season. Wright has been playing well lately, though.
Advantage: Dayton
C Johnson v. Polynice--Again a pretty even matchup in scoring, with Polynice going for 9 ppg, but CJ is the better rebounder (6.8 rpg to Poly's 4.4) Similar size's on these two as well. Whichever one of them attacks the basket will have the better game.
Advantage: Dayton
M Johnson v. White--Probably the most interesting matchup out of the starters. White, at 6'5'' is one of the few shooting guards Marcus Johnson will play against that has a size advantage on him. White scores more per game, but MJ has been playing his best ball of the season the last couple games. Will it continue?
Push
L Warren v. C Warren--A tough matchup for London. Chris Warren is significantly taller than him (6'4'' to 6') and a lethal scorer, leading the Runnin' Rebels at better than 17 a game. London is an excellent defender, but he will have his hands full with this assignment.
Advantage: Ole Miss
Overall, UD appears to have a favorable match up with Ole Miss. Come 7 p.m., though, we'll know the real story.
