OU basketball: Size won't be among Virginia's advantages

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Virginia only lost to two teams this season: twice to Duke and once to Florida State in the ACC Tournament.

The Sooners are an 11-point underdog against the Cavaliers, but multiple Virginia players compared OU to Florida State.

"They seem big and physical," junior guard Braxton Key said. "Their guards are 6-2, 6-3. It's like playing football players in a way. Florida State had some bigger guys. It'll be a different challenge for us, but we're looking forward to it."

Four of Oklahoma's five starters will hold a height advantage over their Virginia counterparts.
