Would love to know the justification for the two people who think - after the last few games - he should come off the bench.

Geo staring with Mathis works. Caleb with young and Mulcahey also works. Mix and match from there: we definitely need to get back to the fast starts we were having when we beat Seton Hall and other games during that stretch. Even the loss at Iowa was a great start Offensively.

30 and 2. Please defend your view two outliers!

So was this poll created just to root out people with dissenting opinions so you can publically flog them? PS.....I didnt vote, because coaches generally have their reasons for decisions based on information that fans are not privvy to. However I do think you should share the poll results with Pike to start the revold and force him to change the starting lineup.

No. I seek out those with opposing thoughts so i can gain insight. For me, it’s a no brainer.

The two bottom feeders. He also played a big part in us losing the Michigan and MD games. I'm not sure he's even shooting 30% on the season, definitely in the 20's range from three. Aside from Geo vs. NW, Young is the one keeping us in games late. Geo can't get over screens which leads to open threes, nearly every guard in the league beats him off the dribble, and he turns the ball over way too much for a PG. Yes, he single handedly won the NW game, and he's had some late game heroics, but as an overall player, Caleb, Mathis and Young are all better.

Post fail. You really should look things up before saying wrong things. Geo is 38% overall and 28% from three this season (and 35/32% in B1G play). Below where he's been in the past and some of that was due to the thumb. But nowhere near as bad as you were saying. He also still leads the team in assists in B1G play despite missing 3 games and has our best A/TO ratio of 32/11.
