Hell, they had TWO AND some really smooth SFs like Sabonis and the KY dude (Wiltjer or however the [deleted] you spell it).

I think Yanick and MK team up together nicely. kind of a "thunder and lightning" duo.

I still think we should start JMart and Sterling along with Nic, BenM, and Yanick for now.

I think Sabonis and the Kentucky transfer were more power forwards than small forwards.

We need to run more - how about that? LB doesnt play into strengths sometimes

Yanick wasn't the only one that got punked, they pretty much bullied our whole team. Maybe we should start recruiting some of these "white stiffs" :lol:

My thoughts exactly!
Yes it's wayyyyyyyy early.
But what gives with this guy?
I will continue to hope he can put it together...we sure need him.

Running more is good in theory. But the theory has to start with defensive rebounding and a defense that turns the ball over. Neither has happened much this year. I think Larry would be great with running more if we can just get some defensive rebounds.

Please note that when we scheduled them we had no idea that Kennedy would be out or that Mudiay would be going pro. We also had to upgrade our schedule to look better in order to have a better chance with the NCAA selection committee. Scheduling the 13th ranked team in the country is not a bad scheduling move. We just didn't have the players we thought we would have nor did we know that the Zags would reload like they did. There is also a chance that we made them look better than they really are by playing like we did.
