"Crimson Tide has solid height advantage over Creighton"

Just a mention of the topic raised Doug McDermott’s brow.

Sure, Creighton scores 80 points a game. But they’ve never seen a 94-foot defense like Alabama’s. The first-team All-American couldn’t remember facing a single full-court trap outside of end-game situations.

So the Bluejays spent considerable time in practice simulating the pressure they expect in the NCAA tournament opener for both. They sent as many as eight defenders to the floor to simulate the disruption expected this afternoon in Greensboro.

It, however, is just one of the cultural differences between teams from the Missouri Valley Conference and the SEC.

“There’s teams in our conference that have — that can guard and pack it in,” McDermott said. “But they just don’t have the athletes and probably not the length that Alabama presents.”

Interesting article but I just can't figure out what the title of it has to do with the article.  The only reference to height was...

“But I think you look at Creighton’s team and they have got physically a team that would fit right in with what we see in the SEC with their size and physicality,” Grant said.
