Most Disappointing Loss: 34-41 L vs. Lakers

Roster Overview:
1. Conor Davey (senior)
Davey has been the anchor of the Suns offense all year long, and will undoubtedly play a huge role in the championship game on Wednesday.

2. Danny O’Boyle (junior)
O’Boyle has been Davey’s partner in crime, as his outside shooting has been outstanding all year, and will be hard to defend during Wednesday’s contest.

3. Ryan Murray (senior)
Murray isn’t a number machine, but can dominate the boards against an only tall, yet not big Lakers team.

4. Brendan Seiler (junior)
The reigning 9/10 Sportsmanship Award winner brings outside shooting behind O’Boyle, and will be vital to the Suns offensive attack.

5. Peter Grant (senior)
MVP candidate Peter Grant has been downright one of the most dominant players in House basketball this year, and is no question the X-factor heading into this game.

6. John Foley (junior)
One of the two private schoolers on the Suns, Foley is a physical presence who makes up for size with strength in the paint.

7. Charlie Burke (junior)
Burke tops out the Suns prolific scoring attack, as his ability to drive to the basket and make a jump shot has been huge for the Suns all year.

8. Spencer Stovall (junior)

Stovall talks the talk, but many question his ability to walk the walk. I see Stovall dominating this game from the mental standpoint, as he should get into the heads of every single Lakers player out there.
