Players:
Joah Tucker, Sr,

Chris Hill, Sr,

Not many teams can say they start five seniors. Even when Adrian Tigert
missed two games, another senior, Derrick Ford, came in to take over the
starting job. That’s experience. And it is not just Horizon League
experience; these guys were in the Sweet Sixteen last year. The Panthers
are a solid rebounding team and won’t be intimidated by anybody. Tigert,
along with Joah Tucker and Boo Davis, are tremendous scorers. However, they
will need contributions from some other players in order to have another
Sweet Sixteen run. Watch out for Chris Hill and Allan Hanson to fill that
role with some three-point shooting.
Likely
Finish: First Round
