That’s fair, but neither of those teams beat us. Drake should’ve, you could argue, but that had as much to do with what we weren’t doing on offense as much as anything. TJD is almost without equal in the country, and he couldn’t come close to beating us by himself.Idk about that. Drake kid has 20, TJD had 20+ on 70%, Walker and Allen both had 16 on high %’s. The difference was our guards took over and made shots. They didn’t tonight, so it made a much bigger difference and couldn’t overcome the deficit.
Having a reliable big man gives you another scoring option when your shots aren’t falling. IMO it would’ve taken this team to another level.
Im not saying it wouldn’t be nice to have the antidote to the size we encountered tonight, I just don’t think it’s easy to get a guy who can change the game like Uconn’s 2 dudes.
