Could we be the #1 defense in the country this year? That's where KenPom puts us now.

  • Kofi can't be moved in the post. Payne is a shot-blocking machine.
  • Trent Frazier may be DPOY in the Big Ten
  • Coleman Hawkins has ridiculous length at the PF spot and can guard anyone
  • Curbelo is an outstanding rebounder and can steal the ball from opposing PGs
  • Da'Monte is a super-senior and is a defensive stopper with long arms
  • Grandison is a senior who is an all-around good player.
  • We don't have to rely on freshmen and usually they are the weak link on defense.
  • Chester Frazier is one of our coaches.
  • Our first opponent only scored 2 points in over 10 minutes.
You start to understand how we could be a Top 5 team this year if we have the best defense.
