Chris Mullin expects Felix Balamou to play, doesn't look like Darien Williams or Malik Ellison will. #sjubb
Having Yakwe and Balamou is big for us. Gives us some more athleticism and more punch on defense and offense. Wonder what the story is with Ellison? He's been out for a while with a injury that they originally said wasn't serious.
It does. We need guys who will play tough defense. If we leave Fordham wide open for three, they could beat us. Johnson and Mvouika rebound well for guards, but they don't really get after it on defense. Johnson doesn't want anyone to touch him, and Mvouika doesn't have the foot speed to keep up with a strong athlete.
Balamou, for all of his offensive shortcomings, has always hustled on defense. We need him to set the tone.
