For all the time we've spent talking about the fact we don't have much size on this team, we do a really good job of limiting some really good bigs in this league. Sims averages 10 and 8 and we held him to 2 and 4. Granted, foul trouble helped with that.
Azubuike gets 12.6 and 9.5, and he got 5 and 8 against us. Self actually played him 10 minutes less than his normal usage. Culver hurt us against WVU, but Tshiebwe didn't do much in Lubbock. UK's guy absolutely destroyed us, and those back to back games against BU and WVU we got out rebounded by a mile, but other than that we've kept opposing bigs in check.
Even more impressive when you consider that we switch everything so it is often Moro or Edwards that is the primary defender on them.
