Pitt has Federiko Federiko (6'11" 220) - 24.5 mins, 7.0 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 1.7 bpg

Iowa State has Osun Osunniyi (6'10" 218) - 18.6 mins, 8.5 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 1.1 bpg

If FedeX2 can go.... will he be better than OsunX2(niyi) ?

I watched a ton of St Bonnie’s games the previous 2 seasons and Osunniyi is really more of a defensive player. He doesn’t have the strength of a Tolu Smith, nor is he exclusively a post-up guy, but he can run the floor and has very good athleticism. He’s not a great scorer as his numbers show, but he has good length. He’s the classic case of a guy who was all-league caliber in the A10, but playing up he’s not quite as effective.

He must be good if he kept Coulibaly on the bench.

Giving new meaning to a "double double". ;)
 
Well, he was right on Tuesday. Maybe he used up his quota of being right for the year.


I mean if he is at the arena (I don't know if he was on Tuesday or if he is today) or he is in contact with anyone who is, by that point all you will have to do is look and see if he is out there participating in warmups or not.

So yeah, he got a "scoop" that literally any of the 12,000 people in the arena could have told you.

He tweeted it before Pitt took the floor for warmups..... About 30 minutes before. So he had the info before anyone of those 12,000 people did and before Pitt's official account tweeted it.

Me too, I grew up near Olean across the border. He's a great shot blocker.
