All of the above on Tape.

Personally, I don't think you can play all 3 together in the modern game. Even if you could, I think Engles prefers to play small. If you are playing Harvard, Princeton, or Penn next year, who does Meisner guard? I just don't think he's going to do very well chasing Amir Bell around. And that's the 3rd big -- you're also going to have Tape chasing Towns, Stephens, or Betley around at the 4 spot.

Of course, I said the same thing last year about Columbia playing big, and I was right all year. Right up until the last game with Yale, when Engles played 3 bigs together for long stretches. You can do it against Yale, because they play 2 more traditional bigs (Reynolds can stretch the floor, but a big can guard him). So then the only match up problem is Oni.

Anyway, I predict that only 2 bigs play at once next year, and the other 3 starters are smith, Hickman, and Castlin.
