in the NCAA Tournament when the opponents were able to score so frequently with their bigs and get second shots. There are many ways a "smaller" team can score its own points, but not being able to defend the opponents' bigs seemed to often be the deciding factor. That was a hard lesson and I hope it still motivates the effort to go after players who can defend tall opponents and who can rebound effectively. Tall scorers are nice to have, but a lack of tall defenders/rebounders makes it much more difficult to win championships.
