Backcourt Size Battle

Posted Dec 13, 2013
UNC’s starting backcourt of Nate Britt and Marcus Paige average 6-foot tall and 170 pounds. Kentucky’s guard tandem – Aaron and Andrew Harrison – check in at a combined average of 6-foot-6 and 217 pounds. If that height and size discrepancy is surprising to you, don’t worry. You’re not alone. “I never knew that they had an average size of 6-6,” Britt, who stands 5-foot-11, said on Friday. (Inside Carolina)
