Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 5624151, member: 405"] Eh, an exaggeration. Kyle is only about 6-7, but he's the 2nd leading shot blocker in the country. He doesn't have the bulk to defend a 240-250 lb guy in the low post, but we recognized that and Donnie frequently doubled Ngongo in the 2nd half. So, they tried to address that. But he had 3 blocks, at least, and close to 10 rebounds again. So it's not like he was a total liability. He is who he is. That's why I'm glad we have Soare as his back up. He plays pretty good defense, is pretty physical, and blocks shots, too. And he's a legit 6-9. It would be nice if Diawara was able to play a 4 minute shift, because he's about 240. But having Sadiq White as a backup big is a pretty good option. Betsey has some bulk about him, too. We have 4+ big guys who can contribute. That's pretty good. I think this team is primed for a run, if everybody stays healthy and keeps their heads screwed on right. [/QUOTE]
