I guess you mean Stewart and Waterman?

It's clear what Pope is doing. He's giving them minutes so they feel comfortable coming off the bench. Playing your conference starters as starters at this phase of the season is not really necessary at all.

We'll see if a shift comes in the Thanksgiving tourney.

How many good coaches/teams put the two worst players in their rotation

Did you email Pope and let him know?

No need. Pope definitely lurking here and scraping some good intel

Hey, this is the CB way. Someone has to be ticked up 24/7. Even after a blowout

Such a brilliant point... Hey Holmoe, can you fire Pope and hire BGRTHNUMEGO?

I don’t think he planned on playing him that long. But he bad to in order to win

He comes off the bench so he's available for crunch time w/ his limited minutes

You are definitely right about one important thing

LifeLongLakerFan

11/16/23 2:05pm

Is it possible Hall is still hurt and that’s why he isn’t starting?

In the post-game show, Robinson said Hall is still hurt

I'm guessing at least one of these players played some big minutes vs SDSU

I'm guessing who one of the players is you are referring to, but not the other.

Waterman and Stewart

BYU '80

11/16/23 1:10pm

Waterman does a LOT besides score points. He's playing great. And he's 6'11''

runnincoug

11/16/23 1:17pm

Waterman is not one of the best five which is what the post was pointing at

Well it said rotation. So we’re both wrong.

What BYUMizzou said, but regardless, if the question is why is Noah playing ...

I would say a top 8 player. He is an offensive liability

Who do you consider the two starters who are the 2 worst players on the team?

There's a very low probability that the starting 5 now will be the starting 5 in January

#1 PG is injured. No question Hall is better. Other spot is more complicated but NW is earning his 19 minutes. RB star.
