As I whined about in May, June, July, August, and every month since, we chose to sit on our last scholly rather than recruit a 'physical' power depth player in the 6'8 to 6'10 range.  A team has to have at least 4 players who can give you defense and rebounding in the lane without playing other players out of position,  In the frontcourt, we have lost at least some time every year to injury or illness.  Johnson last year, Akok, Sanogo missed games, etc.  Missing games is inevitable, yet we roll out a team with championship dreams with only 3 bigs.    Singare would have been a surprise to be impactful as a freshman, Clingan and Johnson were our only 'bigs'.and Johnson has an injury history.  What could gone wrong?  We have an excellent 'small ball' team, but that isn't going to get us #6.  Gonzaga was doomed when Timme left the court, Miami, Florida Atlantic, and San Diego St advanced, but we owned them inside, and they needed more size to compete to win.   OK, now I've whined in January too., to keep my streak going.
