He's played the last couple of contests, but he has...
not looked like the Silas Demery that drove this team throughout most of the year.
Silas Demery averaged 10 points, nearly six assists, nearly five rebounds per game during the season.
In his last two contests against UCLA and MSU, he scored a combined four points.
This is unless he magically heals over the next couple of days.
In all likelihood, we will not be seeing a hundred percent Silas Demery.
And that is something that is a big old problem for UConn, given the way this team is constructed.
He single-handedly staved off an upset in that game.
An upset.
He was at Michigan.
It was late Jawan Howard, and he was actually playing at the end of the season right alongside Hunter Dickinson when Michigan was just throwing stuff against the wall.
And he ended up having to take some threes just for, hey, I'm playing the four.
I sort of have to show that I can do that.
Right.
Yeah, I think that when the bracket- I don't think that's a great matchup for him.
No, when the bracket came out, the thing that gave me some relief about the UConn matchup, when I think the name scared off a lot of Duke fans, was Alex Caraban versus Cam Boozer.
Alex Caraban, like you said, he is a very good defender for what he is, a stretch four.
And the fact of it is, there aren't a lot of guys who are Cam Boozer types playing the four at the college game.
They're mostly playing the five.
So Alex Caravan is amazing at help defense.
