In our continuing pun on the players' heights, here's a not-so-humorous size issue -- our team size goes up this year (mostly due to length in the backcourt) and we have beef inside (6'9 242 Rak and a massive 6'10 288 DC2...
But before you get too giddy, we lack the elite shot-blocker that (we started with last year) and that 3 of last year's final 4 teams had (Kansas, Ky and L'Ville). [OSU, which didn't have a 7 footer, lost to Kansas].
And even in the BE, we'll face some teams with serious size inside:
Pitt: 7 foot center (adams) http://www.pittsburghpanthers.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/pitt-m-baskbl-mtt.html
Fried Chicken U's 6-11 - 7'0 Shot-blocker Dieng: http://www.uoflsports.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/lou-m-baskbl-mtt.html
USF's lofty 7'3 Center Omogbehin: http://www.gousfbulls.com/SportSelect.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=7700&SPID=2923&SPSID=36689
GT 6'10 Center Bolden (with 7'0 Frosh Center Brad Hayes (project?)): http://www.guhoyas.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/gu-m-baskbl-mtt.html
Cincinatti 7'0 Center Nyarsuk/6'10 Center Mboji: http://www.gobearcats.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/cinn-m-baskbl-mtt.html
Still feeling like we're top 5 material? ...
