Yeah, anytime you have a slightly smaller, slightly more skilled version of Dwight Howard on your team, you're going to be a tough matchup. I don't exactly see our inability to contain that freak as being demonstrative of a complete inability to deal with interior size.
Talk to me after the 2nd Baylor game and I might change my mind, and if we lose to KSU again but are actually hitting our jumpshots, I'll also reconsider, but dealing with size through drawing charges and daring the big men to put the ball on the floor has worked out well for us thus far. We haven't lost a game this year because of a size disadvantage; OSU was white-hot from the floor and MU couldn't find the bucket if they had a map against KSU.

Very true.
I was just saying when MU hits a team deep in the tourney, which I expect them to go deep, like a Syracuse or NC they could struggle.
And I know those are two of the top teams in the nation, but IMO that's what MU should be gauged against as I do consider them to be one of the better teams int he country right now. IMO if someone could ever really take advantage of English having to guard a big guy and make them go with Rat and Moore together, they could have success against MU.
Robinson is a monster, thats true. I think if him and Taylor continue to play this well (minus a few free throw attempts), KU has a good chance to beat some teams in March. Of course that also leads to the fact that if one has an off night we are in trouble.
