getting their big guy back in the middle helps them a ton - in similar ways to us having Mara (or Kyle) does.
Playing Mara gives us a rim protector and a guy who can score at a high percentage inside on offense, PLUS it allow Bilodeau to move out of the paint where at least on the defensive end he's got much better matchups to shoot over and he's not always trying to get his shot up over guys who are much taller than he. (Did you see that camera shot during a timeout of him standing next to Mara? how much shorter he is than his teammate? Mara's just got a couple inches or so on Kepnang.)
With "Big Franck" as Cronin referred to him in his midweek presser, they can move the 6'8" Osobor to the PF and match up well against other front lines.
He played 21 minutes in his first game back with not that many stats but he just changes the game when he's in there - as having Aday in the paint does for us.
Makes this win more encouraging as we are now heading into the heart of the season and heading toward March.
