Found a way to mention Alabama in every post, yet not mention Barry Stewart/Ben Hansbrough of Miss. State?? Ben actually averaged a better 3PT % than Barry, and both were All-SEC Freshmen.
Austin Peay's Drake Reed and Fernandez Lockett.
Reed is a 6'5 wing who was named OVC Player of the Year in 2007 after averaging 15.8 ppg 6.0 rpg, 1.7 apg, on 51.9 FG% shooting.
His fellow wing is athletic stud Ferndandez Lockett, a 6'5 rebounding star who averaged 11.9 ppg, 7.9 rpg, 1.8 apg, and 1.2 spg on 49.7 FG% shooting. He was named Second Team All-OVC.
Austin Peay is a sleeper pick by many to do some serious damage in the 2008 NCAA Tournament. And they'll do it behind the star play of these wings.
Drew Neitzel and Raymar Morgan?!
A glaring omission.
is neitzel really a wing
