if a picture is worth a thousand words, here are a few of those words.
reader and selvig are beanpoles--not the big beef montana has traditonally featured in the middle. no piano movers here. no enforcers. instead, this promises to be the quickest most athletic team ever at montana, and we need to capitalize on this rarest of situations in missoula.
last year, trailing late against u.s.f., an extremely athletic team, montana applied trapping full court pressure and forced overtime. we'll need to see more of that this year, because in games i saw in recent years against two quality teams, new mexico and u.c.l.a., qvale was the most dominant player on the court. as this picture suggests, unless reader is another krystkowiak, no more domination inside, and no more "power" at forward. just versatility and quickness all over the court.
