At 4-2, UNH is off to a nice start this season, featuring a nice inside-outside scoring balance. However, despite narrow wins against Harvard and Liberty, they barely beat 0-6 Army, and lost pretty handily to BC and BU.
They're led by their inside-outside 6-8 sixth man Janev, and have good size inside with freshman 6-8 Christensen and 6-8 250 Sturgill. They also have a nice lighting-quick freshman guard Vetrano, who at 5'8, shares a small backcourt with 6'1 Andersen, a slashing guard. 6-7 Walls is their top shot blocker, and also gets significant minutes.
While they're pretty big inside, they're a -3 in rebounding margin. Defensively, however, they're very tough, holding opponents to a paltry 39% shooting. Offensively, they have nice balance and their top six all average between 9 and 12 ppg.
This is another game Brown should win at home, but I expect them to struggle some with UNH's size inside. Brown always needs the offense to be clicking for them to win, and tonight will be no different.
