If depth and the fact some of our guys are playing with injuries is the reason we are faltering, we will do well to finish 25-5. Could easily lose 7 games and not win the conference. As last night showed, a strong home crowd makes all the difference and can help energize a team at crunch time. Hopefully these guys can defend Moody

The grind and lack of depth are definitely taking their toll now. We were really scuffling in the 2nd half last night. Every game is going to be a battle from here on.

Don't a lot of teams run 7 man rotations during this time of the year anyway?

.. Isn't that what we had the second half of last year w Keith ineligible? Not all that different.. Not having the extra big body though is tough

We have four guards, two are freshman, and one of them (Jarrey) tore his acl his senior year and is probably just getting comfortable again. Last year our four guards had all experienced the grind of a college season. Plus, w/ a 7 man rotation, one guy gets into foul trouble, or tossed like Sterling did against Cinci, and then you are in deep trouble.

Also they've been running 7man for a while. So fatigue has caught up already. Other teams may be a bit more rested.

Our biggest issue is rebounding in the second half. JT, MK and Ben simply run out of gas. Our lack of depth in the front court is a killer, especially against long, athletic teams.

Definitely need 4 bigs. That's why we still need to land another for next year
