Miles is in the SIAC, which also contains Clark Atlanta, DW's last stop, so he certainly ought to be familiar with them. The Bears are currently 4-3. Their only D1 opponent so far was Samford, who beat them by only nine points. They also lost to the #11-ranked D2 team, Morehouse College by 18. They likely will start 6-7, 6-4, 6-3 across the front line, and can bring 7-0, 6-8, 6-8 off the bench.

I could not find this year's stats. However, last season 5-8 senior Jeffrey Dockett averaged 13.3 points, and was the leading returning scorer. He shot a lot of 3s (141 of them), and made only 27%.

But, here is a stat for you: thus far this season, Miles leads the D2 nation in scoring defense (55.9 ppg). They are 6th in FG% defense, allowing opponents only 37.7%, and 4th in 3PT% defense (26.5%). So, it appears they hang their hat on defense.

Meaning, that they evidently do at least one thing really well. And those sorts of teams can be dangerous at times. Don't go to sleep on them.

Bankston 4 for 4. He just doesn't miss.
