UVa is riding on his back. 22 pts and 11 rebounds today.

Has to be Brown. If Duncan guards him he will have two fouls in the first minute. Brown did a great job on Hummel.

He reminds me of Pat Calathes which is not good since he gave X a lot of trouble.I would agree though that Brown would be the best candidate.

He's better than Calathes.

<<Who guards Alexander?>>
As a Huggy player, probably a couple of guys high up in a tower with automatic guns.

Calathes? He plays nothing like Calathes. Calathes is not nearly as aggressive around the paint, doesn't possess Alexander's athleticism, isn't the rebounder. Calathes may be a slightly better 3 point shooter. Alexander will take them when necessary, but he has too good a mid-range game to take as many 3s.

I would also say Brown (primary) with Duncan and maybe Raymond to spell him. He will be very difficult to handle. Maybe our bigs can get HIM in foul trouble. Has he been in any this year?

Hey muskieman, First thing, you need to get your school right. It's WVU, NOT UVA ! You'll get it right on Thursday. Congratulations on a great season, but the Mountaineers have a little more business to tend to, and you're in our way !

I think the answer is Brown, no doubt. Alexander get alot of his buckets by elevating over people, he can't do that with Derrick. But honestly I don't think that is the key. Let him get off just shut everyone else down. The little Mazellia guy is the onr you have to stop from getting in the lane.
I really think a mix of man and zone is good in this game.
