Depends upon your definition of playing.  Blocking shots and rebounding would be enough for me.  If they ever score that would be a plus, but I could accept them never scoring.  A significant, in my opinion, lack against sized or smaller teams at times, Uconn was out rebounded.  Uconn is an exceptional team (and has been foreve) when they rebound well.  Stokes could and did score, was an all Stater in (was it) Iowa? But her defense is what set her apart from all others.  Give me 2 Stokes and I'll giggle to the NC.  I get, there are  6 7's and there are 6 7's.  But I may settle for a 6 7 that can catch a rebound and block a shot.  I'm easy to satisfy. 
It may be just my poor memory but I don't remember a small team of Uconn that went all the way. (the Shea, Asia, Tamika, DT, , Swin team wasn't big in todays standards but they were for the time.  Uconn won its first NC with Size.  Kara and Lobo working together. if you set the standard don't be surprised when it is used against you.
Obviously, the 6 3 must play the game but be 3.5 ft wide. I can think of one from DePaul that fits that bill.
