WVBilliken Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Great win but I worry about playing only 8 guys. And Barnet played less than 10 minutes. Manning needs 10 minutes a game and Barnet hopefully can play better and get 12 minutes or more. We need at least 9 guys getting minutes or our guys will wear down.

booyaa87 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I think Manning was still a little under the weather. I think we'll go with 9 most nights when everyone is 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy03 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 An 8 man rotation is fine. It's actually a perfect amount if everyone Is playing to their potential. Anything more and players get out of rhythm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB73 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 BIG, quality win against a top 20 team... by 14, not a fluke. Solid win. The kids showed a lot, you have to be pleased with this, KM is back but not 100%, he looks ahead of schedule. All is good... do not worry, "the rotation" is fine.

Taj79 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Barnett frankly is ninth man in. Manning is eight. I thought under the weather still too but in reality, I didn't see him being in a favorable position match-up wise. Both Kirk and Bairstow were more Loe-esque bigs and perimter players. Kirk had a few nice moments in the second half but more on the mobile side. On the offensive end, their defense was leaving Kirk as the flyswatter in the paint. Loe's ability to shoot made him have to come out more and cover and it appeared their defense is/was designed to challenge the guards to drive and meet big Lex on the blocks. Manning would have been stationary down there and allowed Kirk to actually cover two guys in the general area. All in all,my only negative outside the first five minutes of the secon dhalf was Crews again disdaining the use of a timeout. Still, that was a stretch if anything.
