Spencer had his best game of the year. 4-4 from the floor 3-4 ft's with 7 rebs and played good defense. We need him to start playing better. He's our best on ball post defender and down the road we are going to need a lot more of that.

Because we are small
We aren't that small. Get Wiley back and we'll be bigger than almost anybody in the SEC except Kentucky.
And almost everybody on the team is known as a very very strong rebounder. Murray, Spencer, McLemore, Okeke, all our forwards rebounding is the top strength of their game. Even the smaller guys like Herron, Dunbar, and Mitchell are great rebounders for their positions.

I think it wasn’t Gene that posted a stat that we were like #300 in average height

That stat is a little skewed.
1. We don't currently have a true C, but Wiley will be back soon.
2. Murray is obviously much shorter than a traditional PF, but much like Charles Barkley, Murray plays a lot bigger than his height and consistently out rebounds guys with half a foot on him. He's 6'3" but plays like he's 6'9" (and like a strong 6'9" too)
3. Our starting PG is 5'9". Harper definitely throws off the average a bit.
Add Wiley back and I'm sure we jump quite a bit.
But outside of Murray and Harper our guys have good size. Only the blue bloods like UK, Duke, Kansas, etc generally have multiple 7 footers running around the court.

I hope Wiley is back soon but I do know they need to make a decision on him one way or another. Not doing good for anybody for this to drag out.
