per STrib:
More small lineups: Coach Richard Pitino has no choice, after all. Last night, we saw a lot of occasions where King (at center) and Oto Osenieks (at power forward) comprised the frontcourt. "It’s not ideal," Pitino said last night. "But what’s a weakness is also a strength. That’s tough to defend that with two guys that can step out on the perimeter. They’re a little undersized, they’re a little quicker. So we’ve just got to get everybody to believe, listen guys, this is a strength, not a weakness. You’ve just got to continue to hold serve." A four-guard lineup, with Austin Hollins at the power forward, could be used more often as well, particularly since Hollins is rebounding better than King right now.
