[QUOTE="Greensboro, post: 1208980, member: 7536"] IMO; don't you think he was able to play PF(inside) on defense better than UNC PF was able to play SF on offense? Villanova looked outmanned underneath on the boards in particular... but Villanova including Jenkins did a very effective job defensively covering UNC big; better than UNC bigs did chasing Villanova bigs and opening up the court for Villanova guards to maneuver. Point being I don't think Villanova's success has anything to do with how traditional of a PF Jenkins was. But they did a very good job on UNC bigs, good enough that it didn't offset how much better Villanova guard play was. In a separate note, if you look at roster & listed sizes, Villanova was bigger at 3 of 5 positions (1,2,5) for most of the night. [/QUOTE]
