Clayton is pretty good, athletic, good handle.  Can shoot.  Overall a very good player.  Quick hands on defense too.  Diarra could be important this game defensively.  However, I do think UConn's perimeter length could bother him.

Their frontcourt is good for the MAAC, but nothing Sanogo hasn't seen before.  They leave their feet a lot on ball fakes.  Or have in the two games I saw.

I want Jackson on Jenkins.  Much prefer Jackson shutting down the other teams wing player than trying to stay in front of the other teams PG.  I know we loved Ricky for cutting the head off the snake and Jackson is really athletic but he's not quick enough to defend quick guards.

They run a lot of cuts and pass pretty well, but again not sure how they will handle UConns length.  Not sure if they will lock in like Marquette did in the BET, because they have a tendency to ball watch on defense and leave shooters open.  As stated they jump on pump fakes a lot also.
