The can play D and have a big man, and it's good not to be overconfident. If it makes any of us feel any better, ACU has the following losses:
Central Arkansas (2 pts) - on Feb 27
Sam Houston State (7 pts) - on Jan 20
As for serious competition- The Arkansas Razorbacks beat them by 13; Tech beat them by 7.
We should penetrate (something that doesn't happen much on the Abilene Christian campus...
), break them down and make quick passes to the open man.
Kolton Kohl (C) is the 7 footer (7'0" 240 lbs). He averages 12.3 ppg and 4.8 rpg against awful competition (his Freshman high 19 pts and career high 3 blocked shots were against "Arlington Baptist", to give you some idea of the competition he faced)***. He's a big strong guy--he's 7 foot tall, so we don't take him lightly. Problem is, Sims can get just as high up as Kohl and is much more athletic. Same with Kai and Brown.
Sims is the best big man defender in college basketball, so I like that matchup.
As always, our shooting can't be ice cold. Even if only luke warm or room temperature, or even a tad chilly, we still win.
Kolton Kohl:
***as a funny and ironic historical note, Arlington Baptist's campus is located on the site of one of Benny Binion's old illegal gambling casinos--the "Top O' Hill Terrace"--from back in the day. (and let's just say you never ever wanted to cheat in one of Benny Binion's casinos...)
