First play of the year goes at 3pm est...GL everyone. (all plays are 1-unit)
November 10, 2012
Play: Delaware +8
The Blue Hens return 4 regulars this year including Sr. Forward and CAA Player of the Year candidate Jamelle Haggins. Haggins is a beast in the paint as a shot blocker and has a nice mid range jumper that other front court players will have a hard time defending.
Other returning starter are 6-6 Sr. forward Josh Brinkley and Jr. guard Devon Saddler. Brinkley started all 32 games last year and is an excellent rebounder while Saddler is crafty and can drive to the basket(also said to have improved his jumper in the offseason.
As for Lasalle, last years top scorer Pettis is gone although they do return senior guard Galloway who averaged almost 15/game last season. Junior guard Durren is a high tempo scorer although undersized even for a guard. Listed 6 foot, probably closer to 5-10.
I think Delaware's size and leadership will keep this game alot closer than the experts predict.
Historically these two teams play each other tight and I expect that to continue this afternoon.
Good luck with all your plays SBR....Haters in 3,2,1.....
