I am not putting the loss squarely on his shoulders but it was pretty bad and KY was forced to go to a zone, where TT picked us apart.

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

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

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

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

He needs to do better, no doubt. Hall was clearly better defending up top.

There is a difference between being passive and just getting blown by.

He & Richie both struggle mightily out there against some matchups.

I'm well aware of that. It got Richie reassigned defensively, too.

Honestly, I'm kinda at the pt I BELIEVE our staff saw a lot of this coming

Here are the top 5-man lineups that have played at least 15 possessions together

I don't know what this tells us, but the #1 lineup there would get

If you include the lesser-used lineups, the lineup with Demin + Hall is #6.
