When we drove, they had some really big guys in there. Aldridge looks like he's 7-foot-1 to me because he's way bigger than our 6-10 guys.
But those guys are very skilled and very agile. Although the size and strength of some of the people they play against will create a problem for us, I think their skill and quickness and athletic ability will create a problem for some of those teams.
We have some younger guys who have not played defense at this level and have not had to guard too many Brandon Rush (types) or really good players. It's going to take time to adjust keeping those guys in front of them.
There were five situations on their free throws where we had four guys in the lane to their two, and they still came up with the rebound. That's unconscionable. To me, that's the worst play in basketball - and it happened five times.
They probably have the second-best (inside players) in the conference. Obviously Texas has the best, but Nebraska's three guys average 20 rebounds a game. They're killing people in terms of rebounding.
It wasn't our offense that hurt us, it was our defense. They had guys that could shoot the ball. We were supposed to make them bounce the ball first, and we didn't do that. We came out with a hand up, and that's not good enough.
