You can't start that sort of a line-up and have success all the way. Losing Bails really hurt, especially if Marlo and Money are not going to be factors.

I don't like rebounding by committee. If your guards have to do your rebounding, they aren't doing other things they need to be doing. WKU will eat our lunch if our guards are down underneath.

I don't think the guards will be underneath unless their man leads them there. You can always leave two guards back to defend. I think you guys are making too much out of the size of our lineup. We have enough parts to make it work. Just utilize them properly as we did last night. Whether or not we win the SBC is not going to be dependent on the size of our lineup. It's going to be how intense and smart we play. Who was the leading rebounder in the NBA at 6'5" tall? Charles Barkley. Courtney and Kibi can hold their own with most players taller since they are quick off the floor and anticipate well. But let's see how it works out. We'll win some and lose some.
Play your best players and let the chips fall where they may.

It seems to me as though most of the PGs' rebounds were defensive anyway; so "getting back" on defense wouldn't be a problem.
