This isn't the 1980s. 6'2", 5'9", 6'1" plus 6'2", 6'3", 6'2" are NOT big. Eschmeyer is 6'5" but is not ready yet.
NC State's 6'6" player played 31 minutes. Eschmeyer played 8.5 minutes. Stanford lost.
Tennessee's two 6'4" players played 28 minutes each; a 6'5" player played 12 minutes. Eschmeyer played 11 minutes. Stanford lost.
This is not to say that height conquers all, but it is incorrect to think of Stanford as having big players and can bang it down low. I expect Eschmeyer will develop into a big player, but for now, she's just tall.
Somfai is our best "big" at least in terms of very impressive rebounding, but her overall play isn't there yet (12 of 57 from 3 ??). Agara is big for her height, but doesn't play taller than she is.
Regarding another poster's comment about way too many turnovers: We have fewer turnovers than our opponents. Compared to the NC year of 2021, we have 10% more TOs (14.1 vs 12.8 to/g). Worse, but not quite "way too many". I would say we have way too few assists (12.2 vs 16.5 a/g).
