Watching the Terrapin basketball team and Northwood warm up before today’s exhibition game at Comcast Center, Seahawk center Jermaine Middleton stands out.
The senior from Los Angeles is listed at 7′5″, and I am not going to argue that.
The Seahawks have three players listed at 7 feet or taller, including Middleton, but Middleton towers over everybody. The top of his head nearly touches the net when he stands under the basket.
The Terps don’t have any players listed at taller than Steve Goins’ 6′10″, so one has to wonder how the Terps will guard Middleton.
Then again, one has to wonder how good a player Middleton is if he is 7′5″ and playing for Northwood.
