Playing styles will clash in the Paradise Jam tournament Friday night in the Virgin Islands. Eastern Kentucky will pit its 86-plus points per game offense against Kansas State's lid-on-the bucket defense.
Eastern Kentucky (2-1) is led by senior forward Nick Mayo, who leads the entire Ohio Valley Conference in scoring (28.0 points per game) and rebounding (12 per game). But he's not the only threat. Lachlan Anderson led five Colonels in double figures with a career-high 22 points and 14 rebounds in the team's most recent win, 107-52 over Midway on Tuesday. Kelvin Robinson dished out a career high 10 assists against Midway.
