I doubt they spend alot of practice time defending 2 bigs.
X can't practice defending 2 bigs as they have only 2 bigs.
Steele said preseason that if he played both, it would be 5-7 minutes. Afraid of foul trouble.

Yeah I am the reactionary. In 2014-15 we were playing 2 big men on the floor all the time. Lets talk about the good old days of 2015. I wonder how we did it? It is a big mystery.
I am a big fan of Welage and we are fortunate to have him. I can't wait to see him go off again. I think once he gets comfortable and in the flow of the offense he will be special. It may take a minute for this team to get in rhythm. I like what he does, and yes he does give offense and affect defenses. My point is, so do our fine young post players. They also rebound.
Every team poses different matchup problems. Teams going up against us back then had to worry about the big men. We had to worry about smaller players and stretching the defense. This isn't new. If you have effective players, you play them. Zack Hankins was 9th on the depth chart in minutes going into Wisconsin. I would like to change that. This is all just on the margins. I want to get good players that can rebound, defend and score more minutes. Those guys are tough sons of bitches. My kind of guys. I got a title to defend.RIP Brian Dargin McCormick

Seton Hall and Wisconsin can do it because one of their two bigs can shoot the 3. Both our bigs are great in the paint. You don't want either on the perimeter offensively. And if both are in the paint on offense, things get too clogged. Also throwing it into the paint to a big and having them look to score on a back down is a terrible way to play offensively. It produces 0.7-0.8 points per possession(Don't remember the exact decimal but it's 0.7something)
