Thanks for the links. To add to your post: They rotate by MountainMan

eight players over 16 minutes per game. Seven of those eight are 6' or taller.

Three player average double figures: Beers 17.5 & 10.7 rebs., Gardner 11.4 & 6.7 rebs. and von Voelhoffen 10.9.

Five player shoot 35% or better from three.

They have no seniors or graduate students.

They took 33 threes vs Nebraska and made 10. In a loss to Stanford in the PAC 12 tournament they took 18 and made 4. (In those two recent games they averaged 11 turnovers.

In terms of the "scout", they are quite opposite from Old Miss. Instead of quick, athletic and aggressive on defense, they are big and not overly quick or athletic. Another major difference is they can really shoot the three and thrive off that. Lastly, as you stated Beers is big and strong around the basket.

Here is where the short bench hurts. This is a team we should run. I predict we will play mostly man x man. The only way we can limit Beers is to front her and not let her catch the ball down low.
Another key is to drive if they play us man.
