Trick Question: We don’t have a center
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.

The good news for the Tide is that three-point shooting against UConn is more important than having an elite center, but it's gonna be tough. I think this will be the Huskies' toughest game so far, but Alabama will need to shoot the lights out to stand a chance if they don't have a big man to protect and threaten the rim.
