I know that everybody - including me - who is paying any attention is stressing about our getting destroyed inside by teams with big and strong (and at least somewhat mobile) front lines, BUT we've seen Cronin teams lacking a real rim protector do really well, including against such opponents in the Tournament. Once everyone gets what is required, Cronin's team will surprise and do better than expected.
I still feel we need Mara to be able to play significant effective minutes in the post (thinking about 20 a game) to get through the B1G, but thoughts of Cronin's best UCLA teams holding their own inside keep sneaking back and give me increased hope for this season, especially later on in it
