Michigan's Matthews has tall task facing Texas Tech star Culver

Anaheim, Calif. — Texas Tech redshirt freshman guard Avery Benson knows how difficult it is to stop star teammate Jarrett Culver.

Benson’s advice?

"You better be about 6-8 and just as athletic,” Benson said Wednesday. “It's hard to guard Jarrett Culver.”

Luckily for No. 2 seed Michigan it has someone who practically fits the bill: redshirt junior wing Charles Matthews.

In a meeting that will pit the nation’s top defenses against one another, the Matthews vs. Culver showdown will be the key matchup within Thursday’s Sweet 16 matchup at the Honda Center.

And, simply put, it’s a matchup not many have won.
