If ODU was putting 5 superstars on the court I could see it. As pathetic as ODU looked in their last game, Hunter wasn't substituted in before the last minute of the game. It is a hard sell to simply state that he wasn't good enough to play when nearly everyone else was positively awful.

Apparently Fields has grown significantly taller since he is now playing defense "at this level". Actually Radford may well be above us at this point. You just can't make this stuff up.

EDIT: One of ODU's better defensive guards - 5'-9" Duffy Samuels. I would much rather have a smaller point guard than have a smaller center and/or power forward like ODU has today. As long as the point guard can stay in front of his opponent he can force the outside shot. Being too short at center and power forward means that they all too often can't stop the opponent from taking the close in shot. Big difference.

Just for accuracy, Hunter played a few minutes midway through the second half.
