Know Your Bracket Busters 5


Matt Kingsley (right) is the anchor of Stephen F. Austin’s punishing team defense, which, believe it or not, allows fewer points per 100 possessions than title contenders Wake Forest, Kansas, Duke, Villanova, Pittsburgh, North Carolina and, among others, Syracuse, the Lumberjacks’ opening round opponent. Kingsley, a 6-9 senior center, can also ball on the other end of the court, averaging 16 points and eight rebounds this season. He scored 20 or more points eight times and notched a respectable six double-doubles, to boot. Named the Southland Conference’s player of the year, Kingsley also picked up the conference tournament’s Most Valuable Player award after the Lumberjacks won the Southland Conference championship, the first in school history.
