Looking forward to Friday's matchup. Should be a good contest between two of the more improved teams in the country. Lovett and Ponds seem to be a great foundation for you guys going forward. I'll try and give a quick rundown of our rotation.

Starters
PG : Nate Mason (6'2)- He is averaging 14ppg and 7apg so far this season. Is probably a top 5-6 pg in the Big Ten.

SG: Dupree McBrayer (6'4)- Queens own. Looks much improved from his Freshman campaign. He is averaging 14ppg in 2 games so far this season.

SF: Amir Coffey (six/eight)- He is a top 50 recuit in the 2016 class and is off to a solid start averaging 11.5ppg.

PF: Jordan Murphy (6'6)- He made the Big Ten All-Freshman team last season. He is averaging 8.5ppg and 8rpg in the first two contests.

C: Reggie Lynch (6'10)- Illinois State transfer. He is averaging 12ppg, 6.5rpg, and 2.5bpg in only 17.5mpg.


Bench

PF/C: Eric Curry (6'9)- He is another 4-star recruit Pitino brought in. Eric looks like he is going to be a very good player. He is averaging 10.5ppg and 7.5rpg so far. Very versatile defender. Can guard many wings and also the 4 and 5.

SG: Akeem Springs (6'4)- He is a grad transfer from UW-M. He is a streaky offensive player but is a pretty good defender and rebounds his position well. He is averaging 7ppg so far.

That's pretty much it. We run a 7 man rotation. There are a few other guys who will get spot minutes, but those 7 are the key guys. We have had a very balanced scoring attack in the first two games. Defense and rebounding also look much improved from last year.
 
Thanks man! Looks we might have the quickness advantage but your size should be a good challenge. I really liked Mason when I saw him as a frosh, he will be a great test for our young guards as well.
 
Looks like an even matchup but its tough to win on the road especially with a very young team.
 
You will enjoy Isaiah "Jelly Fam" Washington. I have had the privilege to watch this young man grow up in a very tough project and come out on top. Creme rises . Wish he was a Johnnie. Hope him much success in the land of 10000 laked
