They're both named Dwight, both went to Indian Hills Community College and both are point guards in the Big East Conference.
Dwight Buycks and Dwight Hardy are also best of friends, a bond that was formed as they played together their first two seasons at Indian Hills, which is located in Ottumwa, Iowa.
They'll square off on Tuesday night at the Bradley Center for the second time as Division I players -- Buycks a member of the Marquette Golden Eagles and Hardy a member of the St. John's Red Storm -- and for the first time as starters.
"They are best friends; they have been for the last 3 1/2 years," MU coach Buzz Williams said. "Both of them had great success in junior college. Dwight Buycks wanted to go back home and play for his Division I team; Dwight Hardy wanted to go home and play for his Division I team.
"They're the first two kids that played for (Indian Hills coach) Jeff Kidder that signed early. If you talked to Jeff, he would tell you they're two of the better kids that he's ever coached.
