Everyone keeps talking about how tall we are.  But Belibi and Jones--who usually play inside--are only 6'1", certainly not tall for where they play.  Brink is 6'4" but in a position where we often come up against 6'5" to 6'7" players.  Wilson is undersized at 5'9".  Only Lacie and Lexie might be considered tall for their positions at 6'1" but not excessively so.  Where is all this talk of how tall we are coming from?

Maybe the article is conflating "tall" with Jay Bilas's favorite term "long."  
I do think Brink, the Hulls, and even Belibi are long.  Impressive wingspans.

Geno was on Pardon The Interruption today.  When asked what concerned him about Stanford, the first thing he said was, "They're the longest team we've played all year long."  Another interesting comment from him was that people usually say that UConn opponents need some help from UConn to beat them in the Final 4, but that this year he thinks that UConn will need help from Stanford in order to win.
