Episode Details

Michigans national title win marks a shift in college basketball, with top teams like Michigan and Duke prioritizing size and physicality over pure shooting and handles. Thanks to NIL deals and the transfer portal, programs can retain fringe NBA bigs, who bring consistent rebounding and defense. Coaches are noticing the importance of height, with most Elite Eight teams ranking high in average height. Purdue, an outlier, struggled against Arizonas size, leading to their elimination. Now, Purdue is bulking up with returners and transfers to match the giants and maintain their elite status.
