Back home to kick off the PL season. Army is not a strong team, but as the article notes we struggled to beat them last year. This team can't afford to get behind by double digits. It's interesting that Meeks is scheduled to start again.
Not sure I would read anything into Meeks being listed as a starter. Most of the time, they simply list the starting lineup from the previous game. For the most recent example, Paul Newman was listed as the starter versus La Salle. But instead, Meeks started in his place.
Army definitely does not have a deep team, but they do have two good players: Tommy Frank and Center Matt Wilson. Whoever the starting center is, Newman or Moore, it is likely that player will get in foul trouble trying to keep Wilson from backing into the lane. Wilson is 6-9 and strong, and has a nice little jump hook if a second defender doesn’t help on him as he gets into the center of the lane. Army has some bad losses to be sure, but they did beat a good Buffalo team on the road a couple of weeks ago.
