Darn good question regarding defending Lewis as he has power and quickness albeit a limited shooting range -- no perfect match up for the Tigers as Mulch needs to bulk up to handle Lewis defensively although Lewis would be dragged away from the basket guarding Mulch. Arirguzoh followed by Brennan is probably the best defensive match up. Gladson was ok on Lewis last year but Lewis' offensive game has improved. As to Penn, who knows as they have played such a weak schedule. Are they for real or not??? Take a look at Columbia's schedule and how competitive that the Lions have been in a number of games but they are 1-10. If Penn had a similar type schedule, you would suspect that the Quakers record, 8-4, would be very different. Home court advantage in game #1 will be a big plus for the Quakers but the Tigers have already played in very tough road environments -- Butler, Miami and USC. Game will be a tough one for Vegas but I would suspect that the Tigers will be a 1-2 pt favorite depending how the final non-conference games go. Should be a good start for the season and I hope to be there to watch the Quakers do the usual meltdown - I hope. |
