Demin needs 30-33 minutes. So does hall. Good luck with that KY.

I know much less about bsketball than football and I am not one to criticize coaches...

Adrielle Board Misanthrope

Biggest problem is Demin has basically disappeared

Last night, and the season so far, boil down to 3 things:

Nope. Not being able to play much man defense is a huge part of this season

Use at least a few possessions feeding both Catchings and Demin in the post.

Unibro Utah fans are sensitive

Idk about Catchings, but Egor is a good passer out of that position.

So they both post up, you throw it in and let them fight it out?

I don't have to convince you of anything. I've seen the team play.

That win certainly helped, but Georgia was/is a tournament team by basically all

cwilke1

Okay, but Pope also lost to sub 100 ranked teams 10+ times while at byu. People are revising history with Pope.

mjmill All-American

7:20am

I'm almost ready to......bench Egor? He has just been so bad

RGGeemer

7:20am

Tough to bench a guy who leads the B12 in assists and has the highest ceiling on the team

mjmill

7:21am

And our offense doesn't score when he's not in the game

nephicoug

7:23am

I would play him more.

Lifer

7:25am

I'd switch Baker & Saunders. We need another playmaker & shooter

SinkingQuffa

7:26am

Saunders leads the team in scoring and the defensive look of Demin, Saunders, Mag is dynamic in length on perimeter D

mjmill

7:28am

I don't agree with any of this. Richie should play the max minutes possible.

Lifer

7:32am

One of the worst takes I've seen on this board. Saunders is our leading scorer. He scores more per min. than Baker.

He struggled last night at times with close to the rim shots. Should be layups.
