 Watching them play florida state,they are really big upfront. WE have no one to rebound agianst tha ht We would have to stop the 3 pt shooting of napier and lamb to have a chance Drummond is big and blocks shot Only scores on layups and put backs so far Florida state has size to off set and some good shooters They need some breaks down by 5 do not no what out game plan would be but its nice that uconn is playing fir 3rd place

We get it.... We have no one to handle Duke's bigs nor do we have anyone to handle UConn's big frontcourt.
 
what do you mean? SJU just gave up 15 offensive rebounds in half to the mighty NE bigs, you don't think that's a good sign??

Stats don't lie. They were a good rebounding team. However with the same breathe last years team was in the bottom third of D1 in rebounding.
 
It is amazing that it seems like big men grow on trees at UCONN and Syracuse, and we can't get any of them (and the one's we do get, can't qualify academically).

Last 2 games Oriaki is coming off the bench. Just 10 minutes today. He can't be too pleased.

What he shouldn't be pleased with is his own play. At the start of the season, he moved to his more natural 4 spot with Drummond at the 5. But has since lost his starting spot to Olander who has played with a lot more energy & brings more of a face gthe basket game. Also, with the overall speed and experience of both the UCF and FSU squads, it was tough to play Drummond and Oriakhi together. UConn went smaller today with the return of Boatright, playing him and Napier together for long lengths of time.
