Long Beach State will face a Goliath in Arizona in the first round who has great guards and big men. It is going to be tough for the Niners to get the ball inside and score. However, they have a great player on the inside to help with that.

Lassina Traore is the best big man for the Niners as he averages 12.1 points per game, but it is amazing when it comes to rebounding with 10.4 rebounds per game. He is also efficient when it comes to shooting with a 53.5 percent field goal percentage.

It is going to be quite the battle of the big men in this game as you will see an Arizona player on this list later, but I know I like to watch tall guys challenge each other, so it should be a good matchup.
