Iowa State needs two 6'10" big men who can crash the boards, handle the ball, and be deadly from the three point line. A versatile big man creates "options". The can open paint by drawing defenders outside. They can open the outside by collapsing the defense inside. Georges and Monte together were masters at that. One big man small man combo can beat a superior team. Two big man small man combos can shred it. Just ask North Carolina in the NCAA championship game last night what a "big man small man" can do to you.
"The winning play, dripping in symbolism, is named "Nova." It's run in every Villanova practice. It is their go-to with less than eight seconds remaining in a game. It is the play Scottie Reynolds scored on in 2009 to vault Villanova to the Final Four."
