If you appear in a game, you lose the RS (barring injury). Battle and Artison have both played.

Battle was on the bench. Artison was in a warm up but did not appear to be dressed to play. He sat at the end of the bench with Curran Scott. Foree is the walk-on. Unless we're winning by 25 and under a minute left I don't think he's getting any p/t

I'm starting to suspect Artison is hurt. It would have made sense to give him a shot last night when Birt was bricking everything he shot and turning the ball over constantly.

I suspect the same thing. He played 1 min vs ORU and didn't play in the UALR or Ill St game.

Well the 1 minute he played in the ORU game he jacked a bad shot up and then ole'd someone on defense and stood there watching the ball bouncing around on a rebound he was in position to at least challenge for. He'd better be hurt or his fight and desire is about to be challenged by a bunch of people (and may have already been done so by coaches). You can get away with playing on pure talent in JUCO but at this level you have to be both good and play with high energy/effort. This is why Magnay and Korita are getting meaningful minutes as FR.

Compared to Birt, Atson and until recently Henderson, he wasn't playing any worse. The position that I thought would have the most depth on the team (wing) turned out to be the shallowest. When Birt was going 1-9 and turning it over every time they pressured him, it would have been nice to have someone on the floor making a shot or two. Even if he does play ole defense right now

Good to see others making 3's .... since Birt is struggling. Hope he breaks the slump... but until he does... who gets his minutes ?

Birt plays defense and passes ok, so he gets many of his minutes. But Henderson and Korita got some minutes the other night when Birt was struggling. I'm not a fan of Henderson's defense to this point and Korita has moments in his overal game, but isn't a stopper either.

Korita is not the stopper, but he isn't a liability on that end either. He's solid. Henderson's problem is not that he is a bad defender, he just doesn't like to play defense. He did play pretty well on that end the other day, now let's see if he can make it 2 games in a row tomorrow.

Henderson had a good game overall Wednesday. Much more controlled. He does seem to be our quickest player too.

He seems to be catching on more and more to the team concept, and obviously
helps the team more as he does....He started out looking all the world like a JUCO!
Dah!
