You gotta be tall to play this game?

Move over, Spud Webb and Muggsy Bogues. There's a new little big man in the spotlight. Shawnta Rogers, George Washington's pint-sized point guard, just became the first player in A-10 history to lead the conference in points per game, assists and steals. Here's a look at his numbers and how his closest competitors measured up:

Rogers, GW                  5-4/155   20.8 ppg   7.0 apg   3.8 spg

Points per game
Donnie Carr, La Salle       6-3/212   19.0 ppg       -        -
Assists per game
Pepe Sanchez, Temple        6-4/198       -      6.0 apg      -
Steals per game
Tim Winn, St. Bonaventure   5-10/175      -          -     3.6 spg

SHORT BUT SWEET: Rogers' game stands tall, but he doesn't.
