Now this is a tough assignment...

A college basketball game between Oregon and UC Irvine last night produced the sort of mismatch not normally seen on any sporting field. During the game, Oregon's point guard Johnathan Loyd was forced into trying to guard UC's centre Mamadou Ndiaye. So far, so normal in basketball terms but Loyd's small stature, even for a guard, at 5'8" left him struggling against the 7'6" Ndiaye (that's big, even for a centre). This picture, snappped by Brian Davies (@Daviesphoto) captures the discrepancy in the two players. Hat-tip to Bleacher Report too
