Like our Bulls I'm not at my best, but blessed to play another day.
The Blue Raiders matchup with USF better than Portland did from an athletic standpoint, but they do not shoot it as well. Leading the way for the Blue Raiders is their 6-1 combo guard Jestin Porter averaging almost 17 ppg and shooting an impressive 50% from the field(37% 3pt). This is the guy USF has to stop if they want to win today. Porter has the ball in his hands a lot and puts a lot of stress on opposing defenses with the dribble drive or moving within the Middle Tennessee's offense to get an open look. He doesn't sit on the bench long, plays over 30 minutes per game, so all the Bulls players will get their shot at guarding him. The other guards USF has to be concerned with are 6-3 G Jlynn Counter(11 ppg and shoots 56% from the field) and 6-3 G Camryn Weston(10ppg) who is their best passing and defensive guard of the trio. The key BIG for MTSU is 6-9, 250lbs Essam Mostafa who had 19 pts and 13 rebs in their win against Ohio yesterday. Overall the Blue Raiders have 5 guys averaging in double figures and can be a dangerous team win hot.
