HARDING LIVE | Five minutes from tip-off
Warren Harding (23-2) vs. Columbus Northland (25-1)
Starting lineups:
Harding: Angel Gonzalez, Oneal Brown, Fred Williams, Desmar Jackson, Paris Bruner
Northland: Javon Cornley, Jared Sullinger, Trey Burke, JD Weatherspoon, Dimonde Hale
Couple thoughts:
- Harding needs to run early and often. Although the Raiders have been at a size disadvantage for the last few games, it doesn't compare to this. If Northland can get into a half-court game, Harding will lose.
- The Raiders need to shoot well from the outside. Their biggest advantage is at the guard positions. Williams can really shoot it and Jackson can get hot.
- Harding's big three of Gonzalez, Jackson and Williams can't get into foul trouble. Those three need to be on the floor as much as possible.
I'll have updates after every quarter, so stay tuned.
