In response to james

One of the most under rated players on the Sweet Sixteen Tigers team was Keeshawn Kellman. At 6’9” 240 he had a Power-5 body and a nifty skill set that complemented Tosan (a muscular 6’8” 220) very nicely. The stunning part to many about the upset over Arizona is that we shot very poorly from deep in that game and, if memory serves, had more blocked shots and dunks than the Wildcats with their twin towers. The Tigers had a great run this year but without the height and muscle of those two guys, I’m not sure we would have made it very far in the NCAA tournament if we had made it past Brown and Yale in Ivy Madness. 6’7 6’7 6’4 is just a lot different than 6’9 6’8 6’7 when you’re playing with the big boys. The Tigers should have a really nice team next year but will be even smaller unless they can get more playing time from their returning bigs who showed promise but didn’t play much this year.
