Sweet 16 Matchups to Watch (Southeast)

Shelvin Mack vs. Jordan Taylor
Last year, Shelvin Mack had a ton of NBA draft buzz, but he decided to stay in school and has fallen back under the radar. Jordan Taylor and Mack are similar players who have good from size, can shoot from deep, and are tenacious defenders at the point guard position. Mack is more likely to go pro than Taylor, but this should be a good, exciting battle of tough, talented big men.

Jimmer Fredette vs. Kenny Boynton and Irving Walker
Week 3 of Fredette defense watch. So far it hasn't happened yet and this week will be by far the biggest challenge for him. Boynton and Walker are Florida's top two scorers with lightning quickness and deep jumpshot range, Fredette will be matched up with both at different time. I've yet to see Fredette even exert effort on defense, but maybe as the stakes rise in the Sweet 16, that will change.
