Even if they had 6-5 Ailyah Boston back, you do realize that Morrow got 12.2 rebs per game while Boston only got 9.8 rpg? 6-7 Cardoso & 6-5 Walker are taller but not better rebounders than 6-1 Morrow or 6-3 Reese (15.4 rpg).

There's more to rebounding than height. There's strength, quickness and rebounding angle IQ that great rebounders possess. It's why a 6-6 Charles Barkley avg'd 11.7 rpg while 7-0 Patrick Ewing avg'd 9.8 rpg. Or why 6-7 Rodman avg'd 13.1 rpg while 7-0 Olajuwon avg'd 11.1

Assuming health, LSU's unknown issue is if Morrow and/or Reese are not on the court for whatever reason (fatigue, fouls, flu, etc.), but that's the same issue every team could face with lesser/unproven backup front court players filling in for their starters.
