Wade Taylor IV (Guard) vs. Keisei Tominaga (Guard)
Wade Taylor IV has just been phenomenal, marching on as a beacon for the Aggies and notching a great deal of 18.9 points per game in his 34 appearances. In his defense, his ability to steal the ball (1.9 SPG) allows him to merge his offensive strengths with a defensive power. On the other hand, the differences in Taylor‘s field goal percentage (36.9%) and his three-point shooting accuracy (31.5%) are the areas of discouragement, which may cause him some dificulties when playing against Nebraska’s defense.
Keisei Tominaga on Nebraska’s side is a player that offers a different dimension to the court. He averaged 14.9 points after 31 games, and his good percentage (46.8% FG, 37.2% 3PT) makes Tominaga a really dangerous player. His high percentage from 3 point line (87.2%) and at the free-throw line (87.2%) are qualities of a player who can make the difference in close matches, although his lower stats for assists and rebounds suggest he is not a team player.
The clash of Taylor against Tominaga is a big contrast to the main plot of this game. Taylor’s overall game skills and defensive pressure will react to Tominaga’s scoring agility. This duel displays the struggle between Texas A&M’s strength and Nebraska’s refined artistry that ultimately define the action and the result of the game.
