34  Keith Triplett G 6' 3" 185 SR  Toledo, Ohio

Also has 73 assists, 59 turnovers, 3 blocks, and 64 steals. Has started all 24 of Toledo's games this season and averages 32.8 minutes per game. Has not fouled out of a game this season, mainly because the refs let him get away with darn near murder. Is only whistled for 1.79 fouls per game. Watch for him holding and tugging on the shirts of BSU players throughout the game.
