Breaking Down The Terriors...

6'3", 6'4", 6'6", 6'3", and 6'4"

That's the height of the starting line-up for Hiram. Let's hope they are padding the stats in the Media Guide, otherwise we are in "big" trouble. Hiram comes in with a 3-1 record, coming off an 8-18 campaign last year in the NCAC. They lost two All-NCAC selections from last years squad, but with the additions of three stellar newcomers, this team is off and running and looking hot. This team is athletic, can shoot the three, or bang the post.

Players to watch for:
Roberts (#24)- This freshmen is a god amongst men. He is a fast, strong, scoring machine. Roberts is averaging 25 points a game. That's a freshmen. God help us with this one.

Pfouts (#40)- He is one of only two upper-classmen on this team, and he was third in scoring last year. Was off to a rough start until he exploded for 25 last game. Look for him to be a team leader.

Milton (#20)- Three point specialits sixth man. Think Kyle Korver but whiter. Plays starters minutes off the bench.

How to beat them:
1. Limit Roberts: hard to do, but had only 18 points in their one loss. We've got to shut him down.

2. Take Advantage of the Takeaways: this team turns the ball over alot, so we need to push the floor when we get the turnovers.

3. Limit the assists: They win when they have lots of assists, when they control the passing lanes. We need to clog them up to keep them from getting easy baskets.

We'll stick with our prediction for a win tonight, but look for this team to impress.


Bring our: A+ Game
Chances of winning: 45%
Prediction: 86-80 Barons
