My goodness, get RA to the bench. Can't turn it over this often.
-
My word - 2 made free throws. Is this real life?
-
Get AM in the game.
-
MY oh MY to AG. Got to play some D gents.
Also MY - make a two footer.

Our lulls seem to coincide with McBroom being on the bench...
If only there was another guard who was offering almost nothing to our offense.
-
It seems like every game, we go incredibly cold from 4 feet for about 8 minutes. The middle of that half was pretty rough.
AM has got to see the floor for more minutes this half. He's at 13 minutes this half and that seems to be typical for him - that # has got to go up next half and the rest of the year.

Nailed it.
And Crawford should play the most minutes, he has the best court awareness on the team, makes the offense flow, and is a legitimate threat for 3's to compliment AM.
He looked high potential last year and if it is true that his illness slowed him down earlier this year and he is looking better the last few games, then that is even a stronger point to consider him for much more action.
And Manning helps more than his stats and more than some of his brutal critics realize.
Right there with you re: Crawford though I think brutal criticism of JM is appropriate sometimes. His work at the line last night was excellent. If he can keep that % up, he's going to get some minutes.

That's been my take as well. We seem to build a lead with players who are doing well, then the line-up rolls over and the guys who got us the lead disappear. Next thing you know, we have a tight game and appear clueless on offense. I certainly hope when we get into the conference schedule, the best players PLAY.
There seemed to be a couple of possession last night when the a lead had been established and UTPA was about to be in obvious foul mode and AM was not yet on the floor. Yeah, it's only one or two possessions, but it may very well have been the game. Also, there seemed to be quite a stretch in the second half where AY wasn't on the floor, we were having obvious problems scoring. I started to wonder if he was in foul trouble - nope - 2 fouls.

Lamar......
Can we get someone who can get a limp-wristed shooting style - seems like it might help...

Interesting. So defense doesn't matter, only offensive FG%? What about rebounds, assists, A/TO ratio, steals, blocks, plus intangibles that don't have a classic metric attached to it?
Sure they matter - it's one of the reasons I'd think Jolly is on the bench (his defense seems to be primarily based on his ability to take a charge) and also why Manning gets some play (although his defense was pretty awful in the SD State game - especially the end).
It's just one way to look at. My biggest takeaway from the list provided was Gillman and Yarborough need more time - does anyone really disagree with that? Gillman is a potential liability on defense, but he is putting it in the bucket.

I've been impressed with AG's lack of dribbling - get up high and put it in. How many buckets does he have this year where he gets it about 2 feet from teh rim and lays it in - hopefully JM has a revelation while he watches AG steal his minutes.
Now, just get to the weight room AG.

Long time lurker. Happy to be here despite the on court performance.
Here's a brief look at what I'd like to see
BJ & DR haven't been cutting it - BENCH
AY isn't proving the need for more minutes, but the prospect is still tantalizing.
AG, MY, & MB need increased minutes
Honestly, if you're putting it in the bucket - let's find a way to get you on the court, here are the FG%'s for the team thru 10 games:
Player - FG%
MY - .582 - needs more time
AG -. 516 - needs more time
RA. - 481 - needs more time, might have to play some five due to JM being JM; draws fouls, needs to improve at the line
MC - .471 - same
TL - 458 - same, maybe a slight increase,
AY - .388 - same, waiting to see this, growing tired of waiting
AM - .374 - same, move to the 2 - will JC do this?
MB - .355 - increased minutes as the 1
JM - .348 - decreased minutes; someone has to play some at the 5 other than AG
BJ - .333 - bench
MR - .300 - someone needs to take some minutes at 1 other than MB and AM
DR -.250 - bench
That said, if things aren't working out (improving), JC is going to have to play with this all year long

Long time lurker, like 10th time poster: I love how Davell just runs back down the floor like he had it the whole time. Go Bills!
