00:00 >> Yeah, could you talk about the size mismatch and
00:03 how they kind of took some advantage of that?
00:05 Was that something you anticipated them being able to do?
00:07 And did you ever think about going with bigger lineups to combat that?
00:10 Was the thought process there?
00:13 >> Yeah, we did go with bigger lineups.
00:14 We played Jaren at the floor with Gran at the five, and
00:17 we played Gran at the floor with Frenzel at the five.
00:20 And we played Montevide, Jaren, and a five together at times.
00:24 I mean, we were probably better on Williams when we did that, but
00:28 even some of our big guys got posted and scored on.
00:31 So maybe going small got him going, and then he just had his confidence going.
00:38 For Williams, he scored 26, and only hit one three.
00:43 But did a lot of damage at the three-point line and the paint.
00:47 So we didn't really debate starting bigger, but
00:52 we definitely went bigger because he was in the game and he didn't do much.
