And they clearly aren't the answer either. Love the effort, but they're playing like freshmen.

That's not the point. It's not about this game any more. It's about giving underclassmen time to give the program a better chance to succeed in the next four years.

I think Buzz is doing two things. The only shot at the NCAA is winning the conference tournament. To do that he has to have usable depth on the roster. So we're seeing playing times for the freshmen. Take the lumps and see what happens at the end of the season. Finally the PT for the freshmen will help next season. Getting your brains beaten out will make them more coachable.

No Jamil in the second half. Have to think this is more than sending a message.

I feel crazy even saying it, but I think we could be inspired enough for a week to win the conference tournament. Not holding my breath though.

When you play against a team that is bigger, quicker and more athletic if you are going to win you have to value the ball, make good decisions and have good 3 point shooters............this is like that game we lost when Crean was here against Cincy when they blocked about 20 shots against us at the BC....
