My second favorite team, University Heights will be playing Campbell County in the Sweet 16 next Thursday.

 

Can somebody post a summary on the Camels?

 

One thing that has been tough to find is a roster with height. I noticed their top player averages nearly a double double.

 

How big are they? What do they do particularly well?

 

Good Luck to both teams... stinks that you guys won't get to see my guy T-Ware at the sweet 16. But you'll get to see the best player from KY in a while in Tandy...

Excellent guard play with Joel Day, Tanner Clos, & Drew Wilson. Day is somewhat undersized but more than makes up for it with intelligence, composure, & tenacity. Clos is a true slasher that can hurt you going to the basket and from 3. Wilson is a little like Clos in terms of how he plays.

 

Reid Jolly is the leading scorer and rebounder and plays bigger than his 6'4" frame.

 

Those four guys get the most production on a stat sheet, but 3 or 4 others will play regularly.

 

As a team they shoot well, share the ball well, & usually dictate the tempo because of above average guard play. Very experienced and very well coached.

Russell has taken different styles to Rupp and has as much experience as anyone there. He will know exactly how to prepare this week.

Have the most underrated coach in KY. Doesn't get enough credit for what he does.

You all want Campbell county to show their hand...play your game....if you win then congrats ....its 3 am.

From the 5 times I've seen them I thought Day and Jolly were their two best players.

 

Day is a quality point guard. Very composed and when needed can score from outside or midrange. Fantastic free throw shooter who makes good decisions and does a good job at drawing fouls in crunch time.

 

Jolly does a great job inside scoring and rebounding, but he can also step out and hit the occasional 3. Hit one with under a minute in the region semifinals to tie the game.

 

I haven't seen Campbell play against an extremely athletic team, but I could see quickness causing them some problems.
