Beating both state colleges to the east and west to get to the final four would be amazing. I'm just not sure how we match up with their size.

We played Illinois ya know. It was 75-69. We played the size of Michigan and lost by 3. We played the bigs of #1 Florida, the greatest rebounding team in college basketball, and matched them on the boards . . . oh, and Iowa won. It's literally nothing Iowa hasn't seen before and, on many occasions, has handled pretty well.

Oh I'm aware. I just always worry about bigs in a game where possessions are limited. We will compete but how do we handle it down the stretch? That's where Michigan closed it out against us.
