Two words academic board
1st game with Oregon 6pts, 5 rebounds.
Not too impressive, but here is how Austin helps us.
Fitz plays 4 instead of 5. Rudd plays 3 instead of 4. Whoever started as the 3 last night is coming off the bench.
Coach would also have 3 guys he could trust rotating at the 4 and 5 instead of 2 plus Rudd and Leday.
Totally different team.
Exactly. We are an incredibly different team with Austin both on the boards and defense. We are a deeper team at all positions. That's where we miss Austin the most.
