I would sacrifice a mediocre Blues season for an NCAA Tournament appearance.

Winning on the road against good teams is what separates good teams from great teams.  This game is not a must-win for an at-large bid.  But if our guys want to get on the path to greatness, the journey starts here.

I don't post here at the absurd volume that I used to, but I very much appreciate your level headed contributions to this board.

This is a game where Thatch and Yuri need to play almost the whole game. Hopefully Thatch is in early, and we avoid fouls and keep TO’s under control.

Pickett for me.  With as many games played on the road in the SEC, this is why he have him.

I'm not complaining if it's at Iona's home court 🤷‍♂️ might take the pressure down.

Idk, a packed 2k arena scares me. Reading their board, some said we're the best team to play there since the 80s..

this is a game whereby we might have benefitted from some development from young hughes and thames.   instead they have sat at the end of the bench and not had much opportunity.   so yes, i agree we need thatch and yuri to play a lot.

Outside of blowouts, when would we have used them when we have good depth?

they only got extended minutes in the one blowout.   surely they could have gotten minutes in some of the other games.    it isnt like both looked horrible in that one game.   on the contrary both played very well with a couple of highlight moments.

Roy, you are beating around the bushes here. Point the finger at Ford, he is the one in charge. By the end of the season we will be totally dependent upon Yuri to play, and every opposing team will center their defense upon neutralizing Yuri. I hope we make it to the dance this season.

weird indeed, kind of like NBA focused on Jordan during his era.

We don't play the back end of our bench because they don't deserve to play over guys who are, let's say, the best in the country at their position. If they weren't good enough for minutes against cupcake teams what makes you think they'll be good enough in one of the toughest games of the season? 

Those guys are for emergency situations. Foul trouble, injury, etc. Players like Fred and Yuri and Jimerson deserve to play the minutes they do because they're that much better than any other options on the team.

im not saying play over yuri.   you wrote that.   i said we should have been giving time to two very talented freshmen.   no one is saying play them 30 minutes.   but 4 or 5 minutes a game wouldnt hurt the team likely and in the long run it would probably pay off.   

if they saw no time vs auburn or providence or memphis, i get it.   but most of the rest of the schedule, it was possible to give them time.
