MBB: New Mexico State vs Arizona

[FerryFor50]

Was just looking at the NMSU roster... that is a HUGE team.

They have:

7'5", 360 lb Sim Bhullar
7'3", 335 lb Tanveer Bhullar (man I would have hated to buy groceries in that house!)
6'10" Renaldo Dixon
6'10" Tshilidzi Nephawe
6'8" Remi Barry
6'7" Matej Buovac

6 players 6'7" or bigger.

Despite the size, they are 12th in the country in total rebounds, but only 19th in rebounding margin.

Arizona is 2nd in the nation in rebounding margin.

Well, we have 7 guys 6'7 or taller (including Todd) and had 8 such guys before Alex transferred. What makes the roster you described so tall is the four guys who are 6'10 or taller (and mostly of course the two guys 7'3 or taller) I remember reading about the Bhullar brothers when they were 16. Do they play at all? Are they any good?

Sim plays and is actually pretty good. Blocks over 3 shots per game. Shoots 70% from the field. Averages 11ish ppg. Doesn't rebound as well as a guy his size should, though.

Mini-Bhullar doesn't play.

Does their father take the "Day Off" to watch them play?

Nice one, Ferris.

Well, that was a huge blowout. Neither of the Bhullars will ever play an NBA game, and the fact that Sim was compared to Yao Ming is ridiculous. Yao averaged 39 points, 20 rebounds, and shot 77% from the field as a 19 year old pro in China. He was a basketball prodigy. Sim is putting up 9 and 7 for New Mexico State as a sophomore. Not NBA material.
