Trick Question: We don’t have a center
Nick Pringle is an elite rebounder and solid post defender but just fair at rim protection. He also fouls a lot and has a lot of trouble finishing at the rim
Grant Nelson is good at everything but a master at nothing. Potential to explode but potential to underwhelm
I wish we could age freshman Mo Dioubate 2 years this week. He’s gonna be a hell of a slashing/rebounding/defending power forward by the time he’s done

What he said.
As Glorious mentioned, after Bediako unexpectedly declared last year, Pringle sort of failed to develop during the off-season, and Nelson is really a stretch-four forced to play the five. Both however have arguably had the best games of their careers in the past two rounds, respectively.
We've had this issue all season, and have had to adapt various strategies to counteract physical bigs.
If Purdue's Edey didn't exist, UConn's Clingan might be the best big-man in college basketball. He's projected as possibly the third-overall pick in the draft.
That being said, we played Edey earlier in the year, and they only beat us 92–86.
It's possible that Oats dials up something, our guys play the games of their lives, and we run with them all night. It's also possible that we get run right out of the building like everyone else.
We'll see.
