First-half thread for NU vs Minnesota

[GatoLouco]

What kind of new age basketball offensive boxing out are we talking about?

CAPPY! Have we seen Young-Gaines-Audige-Berry-Greer this season?

We have, and it has been one of our worst lineups. Outscored 39-16 heading into last night's game (0.72 oPPP/1.86 dPPP) in 13 minutes of playing time.

We have, and it has been one of our worst lineups. Outscored 39-16 heading into last night's game (0.72 oPPP/1.86 dPPP) in 13 minutes of playing time.

Not hard to predict that lineup is going to have a hard time scoring.
-Greer gives you little on offense and does not create much
-Berry can shoot but, for now, does not create, does not penetrate
-Gaines is offensively very limited
-Young is gonna get double teamed
-Audige is gonna end up either jacking up forced shots. Or be limited by being clamped down.

It's a terrible lineup. It's a lineup of 4 bench players with 1 starter. If our rotation was 1-10+ and not 1-9 I'm guessing you'd even see lineups fully of bench players.

With few exceptions, I don't understand the rotations of "entire second units" on the floor.

I'm just getting around to doing the lineup stats now, and to be fair, this lineup was tied 2-2 with Minny last night in only 1:52 of playing time. Entered at 7-0 and left at 9-2.

Editing to add it also received an additional 1:37 of playing time in the 2nd half and went 2-2 there as well.
