7-man rotation. Let me repeat that, 7 man rotation.

Start: Bost, Turner, Ravern, Osby, and Varnado.</p>

Bench: Barry for backcourt depth; Bailey for frontcourt depth until Brian Johnson gets healthy.

The 4 guard lineup is just too small. Varnado needs some help on the boards. We got out-rebounded tonight and we will struggle against any team with 2 good post players.

Barry played his best ball off the bench his freshman year and he has really struggled with his shot. I like him coming off the bench and playing 25 minutes per game instead of 35.</p>

I agree for the most part, but I think we need to consistently use 8, and have a 9th and 10th guy that can come in and get scrap minutes. But NEVER EVER EVER do this 5 in 5 out crap... We took Phil Turner out right after he had hit a couple of big shots early. You've got to know when to leave the hot hand in

I agree. Give the 5 starters about 32 minutes each and the 2 subs about 20 each. And I agree about Stewart too. His "sophomore slump" is lasting into his junior year. He hasn't handled starting very well. Why not let him go back to what he was once effective doing, which is come off the bench?
