Junior Kessler Edwards (19 points and 9 boards per game) needs to be kept under control after he went off for a career high 37 points as the Waves crushed a decent Pacific team Thurs. by almost 20 points. Pope admits he'll be tough to stop. Do you think Pope will use Gideon George as a defensive move to match up strength/athletic-wise? I believe George will play a very important role tomorrow as he's shown against some other hard-to-stop players. He's tenacious, long and very athletic. We can't afford to get in a hole early against Pepperdine as we have in other games lately. Pope is pretty good at orchestrating player roles in the coaching chess match.
