This is way more true in the NBA than in the college game, because the NBA has bigger players who are more skilled than college players.

But lots of teams in college play 2 guys bigger than we had last year.  Examples:

Houston - known for their aggressive guard-oriented defense, still plays 2 forwards who go 6-8 and 235-240.

UConn has 3 guys bigger than we have in their primary rotation - Clingan (7-2, 280), Karaban (6-8 220) and Johnson (6-10, 225).

Purdue - Edey (7-4, 300), Kaufmann-Renn (6-9, 230) and their SF is 6-6, 235.

North Carolina - Bacot (6-11, 240), Ingraham (6-7, 235), Withers (6-9, 215) and Washington (6-10, 230)

Tennessee - Aidoo (6-11, 240), Awaka (6-8, 250), and James (6-6, 235 SF).

Arizona - Ballo (7-0, 260), Krivas (7-2, 260), and Johnson (SF 6-7, 225).

Iowa State rotates 4 guys as their forwards and centers - Momcilovic (6-8, 210), Tre King (6-7, 230), Hasan Ward (6-9, 230), and Robert Jones (6-10, 256).

Creighton - Kalkbrenner (7-1, 270) and a bunch of smaller skinny guys like we have (one  is 6-9, 190 - LOL).

Kentucky - Tre Mitchell (6-9, 230), Bradshaw (7-1, 226), Onyenso ((7-0, 247), and Ivisic (7-2, 234), although he got hurt back in December.

Duke - Filipowski (7-0, 250), Mark Mitchell (6-9, 230), Ryan Young (6-10, 238)

Marquette - Ighodaro (6-11, 235), Joplin (6-8, 225), Gold (6-11, 245)

After the injuries to the centers and kicking Benny off the team, our 2 biggest guys are 6-8, 220 and 6-6, 220.

EVERY SINGLE TEAM HAS AT LEAST 3 GUYS BIGGER THAN OUR BIGGEST GUYS.
