How good is your center? If he's a B+ or better, you've got a shot. UConn's weakness is teams that can hit a lot of threes and have a good center (Creighton put on a clinic to prove that).

Will be interesting to see what Oats does when UCONN's big center is in the game.

He actually had some success against Purdue by going with 5 3 pt shooters on the floor and daring Edey to guard one of them. Didn't stop Edey on offense that often but traded a lot of 3's for 2's on the other end.

Perhaps the bigger concern is UCONN has the size and quickness when their center is NOT in the game to close down Bama's shooters on the perimeter.

Hope Pringle steps up like he has this Tourney. As others have stated, we’ve often asked Nelson to play out of position as a 5. It’s a tough ask for him and we miss out on what I consider his best defensive qualities. Pringle is stronger and bouncier. We get more from Nelson defensively if Pringle can play the 5 well enough. Furthermore, both on the court means that we don’t have to go the the 4-guard lineup that, while it scores in bunches, made LSUs offense look elite twice
