Lack of size

[TarHeelFanWV]

For everyone that keeps saying we lack size.. please name me Houston's big men (do not say the 6'11 dude as he's never played a single game yet).

Yes, we are smaller. So are they. But they WIN! What's the difference? Their guys are skilled and physical!! It's ok to be smaller! Lots of teams are smaller!

But please for the love of God can we for once put the blame on our staff and lack of talent and effort instead of saying we lack size 24/7???

Nobody had more size than us when we had Kessler, Bacot, Sharpe, and Brooks, but that team SUCKED!! Sometimes guys just don't mix well and aren't good together. Our current team is one of them! It's more effort and skill than it is lack of size. We have outrebounded plenty of teams and still lost. We just have zero basketball IQ, poor hands, and zero heart.

We were a 2 seed and 1 seed back to back years with Luke Maye and Garrison Brooks as our front court. Neither were over 6’8

Not sure if it’s the lack of size thing or just no real “dogs” on this team seems a bunch of followers and no leaders.

It's not always the size of the dog in the fight ...

I agree with the premise that this team is soft. That other team you're referencing was partially doomed when Roy decided to start Garrison Brooks over Sharpe or Kessler. They wouldn't have been all that better because they had horrendous guard play. But there really isn't anything Garrison Brooks did better than Sharpe or Kessler other than miss 13 foot jumpers.

Since college sports have become like a minor league why not allow midseason trades??
