Felder’s stat line reminds me of Dave Twardzik…top-5 scorer and leading assist man in Div 1. He’s adept at hitting 3’s, blitzing downcourt, can dunk and has incredible court vision. Oakland is the leading scoring team in Div 1. Team likes to force TOs and score quickly (20-5 POT last night, 10 steals, forced 17 ETSU TOs). Ball control and extra possessions to force Oakland into playing long possessions in half-court defense are key for ODU. Player to watch (besides Felder)…Hooper; all his FG attempts are 3s (249-249!) and he’s good.
