STATS:
7.4 points per game
5.5 rebounds per game
Scouting report: Key player to defending Pitt's 7-foot Aaron Gray. Must also make some baskets to take pressure off of WSU's outside shooters.
Inside scoop: "I wanted to be a quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, but we didn't have a football team in high school, so I couldn't play."
Todd Brown
6-5 190 Freshman guard
McKinley High School
Canton
STATS:

2.9 rebounds per game
Scouting report: Sprained ankle continues to bother him a little, but he has regained most of his mobility and will be counted upon to score tonight.

Pendleton, Ind.
STATS:
8.9 points per game
3.3 rebounds per game
Scouting report: Must make some 3-point shots and play tough defense against one of Pitt's high-scoring guards.
Scouting report: "I grew up playing soccer in Chicago and went to Europe on a youth World Cup team. When I moved to Indiana, I got into basketball. Imagine that."

Crockett High School
Detroit, Mich.
STATS:
19.8 points per game
5.0 rebounds per game
Scouting report: Leader of the team, must have a good scoring day and get someone to score with him to beat Pitt. Has not had a game this season scoring less than double figures.
