4.) The Tylers run this team

This came as a surprise to me, but more than one Tyler showed up in a big way in this game. We all expected Tyler Lydon to be Tyler Lydon, which was great, but Tyler Roberson also showed that as a senior he can be a force to be reckoned with. He scored with a variety of post moves and showed he worked hard this offseason, showcasing his talents to NBA scouts this season.

His rebounding which has been his staple the last few years was still there and he might be one of the nations leading rebounders once again. Roberson will not lead the team in scoring, but he will probably score more this year, and some will be from three. I know all this talk of scoring from him sounds odd, but its the new reality.

Truth of the matter is, the Tyler’s run this team. Get used to it. Oh yeah, and you heard it here first.
