Martin was most effective playing with Tyler out on the wing .
Its simple a big has to step out to guard the three ball leaving a nice strong side gap that a player like Martin can exploit .
Basketball is like algebra its a  series of dependent variables .
Shooting is the closest thing to an independent variable especially  with multiple threats.
Martin also went to the hoop on every UConn shot
that increases your chances of an offensive rebound
Tyler’s job was  to break for the defensive basket to prevent an outlet . He is tall and really not strong but relatively quick so its a perfect role.  We got a lot of offensive rebounds and gave up few fast break points so it seemed they both did their jobs.
Tyler is not as much a fans player as he is a coaches player
He has been relegated to the bench by the fans every year but
Hurley always finds him minutes.
Maybe because having a guy like Tyler who you have to respect allows you to do other things like actually run an offense.
