to a degree based on size in the paint. Mara is stronger and looks more sure of himself, but if the officials allow Ballo - or any of the other truly big B1G bigs (kind fun to write that!!) to push them around inside, I don't see Mara being able to hold his position against him. (Or against them when it comes to Michigan.) More experienced, Kyle has a possibility of holding his position but it seems doubtful to me. And against two bigs, Bilodeau is what he is - a nice, mature college strong forward playing inside to anchor his team's small lineup. So defense is ultimately at question also I think - in this regard.
