2. I said the guards are playing really well, but, we don't have a dominant center, we have guys that are too small playing center. I referenced having a center who is 6'6", and though it should go without saying, that's our starting center, Kendall Pollard. You'll find him in your program as #25.
3. You said "I don't understand, X is 6'9" (sic), Sam is 6'9", and Mikesell is 6'7"." Note that you said this in response to the statement that we lack a dominant center (by quoting me). Yes, we have other players on our roster who are taller than 6'6" but they are:
a) not playing starter minutes, and
b) not a dominant center, and
c) not a center at all
Therefore, staying on topic, the lack of a dominant center makes the great guards we have look more pedestrian. XW and Mikesell look really good as small forwards and power forwards, but, they're playing center half the time. If we had the dominant center we expected to have, or even Cunningham as a stand-in for that, I think we're a top 25 team.

You wore me out. You are correct. I am not reading what you wrote. Time to get excited about the game tomorrow night and Josh coming back on Friday.
