With Sima gone, Ali's minutes are going to increase, and he is going to have to defend big, strong centers with post moves. Owens is not a center, but has to now play one on TV. He will be getting a few quick fouls trying to defend, or he will back off and get chewed up inside. So now Yakwe and Ali will be forced to be undersized, out of position centers for up to 25 minutes per game, if not more on occasion. Good luck to us when the Big East season begins. We are going to need it.
