[QUOTE="IlliniBrave75, post: 1208955, member: 71073"] Now that Nova has won the title, just wondering what people's thoughts are about small ball. It seems that everyone likes to talk about how we need more bigs on the recruiting thread, but Nova just proved that small ball can work. Using the information from ESPN. [U]Starters[/U] Ryan Arcidiacano - G - 6'3" - played 25 min Jalen Brunson - G - 6'3" - played 22 min Josh Hart - G - 6'5" - played 38 min Kris Jenkins - F - 6'6" - played 21 min Daniel Ochefu - F - 6'11" - played 32 min [U]Bench[/U] Phil Booth - G - 6'3" - played 25min Mikal Bridges - G - 6'7" - played 15 min Darryl Reynolds - F - 6'8" - played 10 min Nova only started one player over 6'7". The 3 players 6'7" and over that played in the championship game combined for 57 minutes of playing time (32 min coming from Ochefu). Its not like they were going up against a small Front Line either. I don't know how it finished up, but at one put late in the game Nova had actually outscored Carolina in the paint. Thoughts?
