Eric Musselman on Nevada versus San Diego

We're not sure why former NBA coach Eric Musselman uses Reno instead of Nevada in his take on the Wolf Pack - Torero game but here's his insight on various players he witnessed. By the way, Musselman's blog is worth a daily visit.

Was in San Diego earlier this week for USD's first annual "Tee-Off and Tip-Off" charity event benefiting the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund and Father Joe's Villages.

While there, I had the chance to watch a couple of games: Reno vs USD and San Diego State vs Arizona State.

In the first game, USD controlled the tempo as Reno had trouble scoring. I thought San Diego did a good job executing at both ends of the floor. They're well-coached. Reno also did a nice job mixing up their defenses and the guys played hard the entire game.

For Reno, sophomore guard Armon Johnson, last year's WAC Freshman of the Year, is an inconsistent shooter, but he can get his shot off. A lefty, he changes speed with the dribble, which is high at times. He could be a possible NBDL prospect in two years. For a young guy, he really communicates with his teammates well and shows signs of leadership...

Go here for the remainder.
