Florida State's bench

Lost to the Hoosiers. Lol. We’ll see how those ACC wins matter in March. You play 7-8 in the tournament. Kentucky’s 8th man in 2012 was Eloy Vargas. 9th was Polson.
Sorry UK winning today hurt your butt again. [roll]How long will you keep this charade up?
Richards and Montgomery will eat them alive inside.
Yep. A deep bench use to matter more if you wanted to try to run and gun and wear a team down.
But in today’s game with all the TV timeouts, there is too much stoppage in play to really fatigue teams by running players in and out.
FSU is good but they aint Kentucky good.
ACC is way down and our Guards would run circles around theirs.
True Story
They've always gone very deep. They won't get past the sweet 16 though don't pick them in your bracket they'll screw you
Having a deeper bench would allow fouls to be spread out more. I am sure there is a gray area where too deep of a bench necessitates a longer growing period for freshman, and where a shallow bench (as in our case) causes freshman to become gassed earlier in the season and an overload of information.
I never noticed them having such a deep bench. Normally I'm only concerned about SEC teams. I saw this because I checked the box scores of the bigger games today. Has our bench ever been 11 deep?
I have no dog in this fight. I just think it's neat to have THAT many players on the bench. That's all. In a perfect world a coach would just completely overwhelm an opponent with maybe 3 platoons. :flushed::flushed:
2015 UK
FWIW with Florida St I'm seeing the 5 starters
Then 6 guys from the bench that play any significant minutes.
And two benchwarmers.
Very similar to 2015 UK
I agree in theory but it is just different here. I think the only way we have a situation like that is if you get some KY guys who want to play here so bad that they are willing to sit a year or two or hell maybe four.
Ultimately with almost any team the rotation is 8 to 10 guys. If 2 or 3 of your best players are in severe foul trouble or foul out you are likely to lose as your 9, 10, 11 guy just isn't going to be capable at this level.
I would take Kentucky's 2015 bench over any other teams bench in the history of college basketball.
I would take Kentucky's 2015 bench over this year's Florida State's starting lineup.
How soon people forget 2015.
Try harder. There isn't a single post you can find of mine that suggests Duke is anywhere near my list of teams to like. Not one. Nor can you find a single post that suggests I'm anything other than a critical, hardcore UK fan.
How's your Gators doing?
We were deep. I just didn't realize we had that many players. It takes a lot of patience and humility to sit that far down the pine.
I do tend to forget about the guys that were down at the end. How many of us quickly think of guys other than The Twins, WCS, Booker.
You forget players like KAT and Ulis? Johnson? Trey Lyles? OK.
We lost to Evansville!!! They are going to end up ranked in the 300s. Give them credit
He has done a good job at a school that cares little about bb.
meh, still power 5 conference team. He has enough resources to at least get to ff once...
My memory is not what it used to be. I don't remember names well anymore. Yes, i remember those names, just not specific events. I am exhausted from my work.
