I was expecting MT to get more playing time this season. She and others must play more minutes as the season goes forward in order for us to be ready for a run in March. T Mc played 40 minutes last night....cannot do that all season. She will run out of gas. Of course they will not get the minutes unless they earn them.

Vic Signed 2 point Guards for next year.... Taylor to me just doesn’t have the physical strength needed for a full time SEC PG....

Others will get playing time throughout the season. What you saw last night was us loading up on our big guns to win a big game.

T Mc played 40 min, shot 9 of 12 (75%), 6 of 6 (100%) of FTs, had 18 of teams 40 RBs (45%) 8 of teams 17 ORBs (47%).

Opinion: If T had 'enough gas' to run with Marquette last night, she will have 'enough' to run with anyone. Will add that .. the entire team was 'slow' to get back on D and it cost them.

Doesn't appear Taylor and Hunter are ready for prime time just yet when we are playing a top opponent. I'm sure Schaefer and the staff will get them there though before the year is out.

According to one of the podcasters, McCowan was averaging 24 minutes per game before last night's game, so she's getting plenty of rest this season. Like last night, she'll have to step up her minutes in big games, but she'll get plenty of rest in less competitive ones. We should be fine.

Anybody remember Blair as a frosh? Anybody think she would start for a 37-2 team?

Vic knows how to develop players.

T will get plenty of rest this year (more than star players on lesser teams), but in big games those starters are going to play a ton of minutes. Even UConn does that.

In the FF last year T played 83 of 85 minutes and went for 39 and 42. She can tote the load.

Vic is the kind of coach that brings along his freshmen slowly. Last year there was a lot of talk about how Bibby should get more minutes, but there were some games she hardly played at all. Now, this year she is one of our top players. Hunter and Taylor will improve throughout the year and get more playing time, and then next year will be their time to shine. Vic knows what he's doing.

Very true! Nobody needs to question anything Vic does. It may not make sense to the Couch Coaches, but he has a reason for it, and proved it works.

It's sustainable in the regular season, but playing 40 minutes a game would start to take a toll during tournament time.

She won’t sniff 40 minutes in most of our games. Marquette is one of the best 2-3 teams we will play all season. Half the teams in the SEC are no good at all and we will beat them by 30+.

She won't have to do that the first 2-3 rounds for sure. Maybe once in the elite 8 and then at the final four. And the other elite teams would be doing that too. Pretty much everyone at the final fours we played in were only going with 6-7 player rotations.
