Do you think the GE vs. Martin mismatch was because of age/experience? I think the difference maker there is Martin's 40-50 pounds and extra height and length. Experience plays a role, but, to me, the physical differences are pretty tough to overcome, regardless of experience.

All of the above.    Age, experience, length, mass.

As I mentioned in the game thread, ignore works well if people don't quote those that are ignored

Some of those physical differences are made up with age as one adds strength and guile.  How to play angles, avoid the fakes.  Martin is a great player, but as our young guys get older, stronger, and more basketball savvy they will be better at defense.  We are extremely young, lost in a building where Butler has lost one game all year.  The same building where Nova lost by 20.

The same building where Nova lost by 20.

Actually Villanova lost 101-93 to Butler.

Actually Villanova lost 101-93 to Butler.

Though Nova was down 22 with about 8 minutes to go.....

The No. 1 team in the nation gave up 101 points in losing at Butler ... yet our loss there was a disgrace. I love it.
