I saw somewhere that they may be missing one of their back court starters, a 6'5 COVID-year transfer from Oklahoma St, Isaac Likekele. His replacement, 6'6 Brice Sensabaugh, looks to be a better scorer, but is a freshman. He's already been playing good minutes, so it may not hurt them too much.
We have a height advantage - especially up front. But their 6'8 255 big guy has been MVP in 4 of their 9 games and also has 4 double doubles. Armando has 6 DDs in 11 games. Pete has 2, as does RJ.

Their big man, you have to look at the 255lbs more than the 6'8" height, those wide shoulders with a bit lower center of gravity. Those guys tend to get inside position and are hard to move out once they do. It is a bit of what we had with Kennedy Meeks, guy that just gobbles up rebounds and keeps holding his inside position for follow up attempts, draws a lot of over the back calls on our bigs. Bacot or who ever our center is at the time can not give up inside position to those guys, don't bite on the pump fakes when they try them and box them out hard, make them have to shoot over you rather than power up thru you with inside position.
