Why never play 2 big men together? Broome and Cardwell?

This seemed like a strength of our depth, but we never played them together? I get they subbed each other so we could basically always have a big, but when the other team only has one and we have two does it not also make sense to just play them both at times and pound it down low while also working to get their big man to overcompensate and foul? I had this question last year too?

Broome and Jwill were our strength

Because Broome was at his best one on one in the paint. Teams were already doubling him there. Adding more bodies to the paint would have completely nullified him and Cardwell’s offensive bag consists of dunking.

Short answer is that is not how Bruce runs his offense. He has never used 2 post players, and you can't revamp your offensive sets in the middle of a game when you haven't practiced them. At that point you'd just be playing street ball.

Have you not seen Cardwell taking entry paint passes? Looked like his hands were coated in butter most of the time - his game is above the rim or right under it - not getting to the rim with bodies in the way.

Kind of the same reason that no ones runs the notre dame box offense anymore in football. Crowds the line of scrimmage to much much like 2 bigs clogs the paint for flex cut action or cutters to the basket so you would essentially make all your guards just be spot up shooters. And a zone offense unless you’re extremely good in a high post game to break a zone down.
