Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 3546080, member: 730"] I seem to be focused on experience while you are gaga over size. The truth may lie somewhere in between. Here's how size worked out in 2017. UConn-66 S Car-55. It was Coates & Wilson vs Gabby Williams & Collier. Size didn't help S Carolina that day. Both Coates and Wilson were 6'4" I believe, while the UConn front court was 5'11" & 6'1". And the Herbert-Harrigan/Harris duo who were so instrumental this year combined to play 47 minutes in 2017, contributing a grand total of 7 pts & 5 boards between them. They shot 3-14 & 0-8 from 3. And I don't think they grew much between 2017 and 2020 so the logical conclusion is that the difference in the 2 games was the EXPERIENCE they gained in the 3 intervening years. [/QUOTE]
