team and score a 100 points. We're not doing that. I think we have the depth and talent too but that's not something you implement mid-season.

This team plays with no flow or chemistry. The rotation has to shrink. We played 10 guys yesterday. No one played more

And yet we should have played Boscovich to guard Williams in the last 5 minutes

Boscovich seems lost out there

Transition to American game.

Not sure he would be able to guard Williams. Not quick enough

We needed a versatile big to keep Williams from backing into the basket

Demin would be better for this than Bosko, and Demin didn't defend well either.

TTech has three guys that will make you pay... we need more of those guys.

I agree! Demin is more of that guy than Bosko right now.

Yep. Should be:

I like that lineup but prefer Fouss to Keita unless it’s a massive team

My thought is that with Hall and Fouss in the second unit you’d have little

It may be due to injury, but by the #s, Hall's play is simply awful this year:

Stewart's 1 minute didn't disrupt anything. Are you advocating taking Baker out of the lineup? He would be next to go.

There's probably 4-5 different ways to go to shrink the rotation. I actually like Baker b/c I think he brings

I agree that guys like Demin and Saunders should play more.

KY has a tough decision. Focus on winning or player development?

I think you could still have a 10 rotation as long as its simplified. Like if Demin is out, Hall is always in. And if

I couldn't agree more. Start with playing Egor and Richie 34 minutes and go

it seems like if you play a larger rotation, then we ought to be winning more on

Dawson Baker is getting too many minutes

I think if someone really stood out they'd play more but no one has emerged

When nobody steps up, you have to try to find somebody that will

Should’ve tried one or two more guys to see if they could step up…Crawford etc

Hall to the bench and only play backup PG to Demin. Demin needs to be 30+.

Agreed. I'd like to ride or die with our best 8. And if they aren't playing well
