Anyone explain to me a logical reason why Haywood is seeing any court time ever? He was both TU turnovers. His defense has been terrible Morman's open three twice was on him. The post entries have come from his player. The last bucket came because he was absolutely clueless.

There is no reason he sees time and Urbanic, Shumate, etc sit the bench.

Having the camera at one end of the floor is low budget and weird.

KES missing, but he looks like a completely different player. Active on offense and defense, some blocks outs.

Ok Haith I see you. The Haywood decision is baffling but I like this attitude with the subs. This is clearly a they who listen/work play game.

I expect this challange to do some separating on who is hungry and who is not. KES appears to be hungry. Shumate is starving.

I’m sure others will disagree but if we meet Houston in the conference tournament I would like to see Shumate get real time minutes. Houston doesn’t do a lot of big body clearouts inside and I think he could help with rebounding.

This is the first season where the schools are really responsible for this, with covid I doubt they tried to do much. Next year I expect a couple schools to make changes (also the production minimum is covered in our contract).

Do we have players that are under the weather or injured? Frank’s psycho sub patterns are frustrating.

Jackson off a little bit.

Schumate with some good play, although he lucked a bit drawing that charge.

Not playing with a lot of energy yet. KES just going through the motions. Still early but have to give them only one shot and really play defense.

Idowu is on a sore knee which makes our big rotation and therefore our four guard set weird. With Joiner in foul trouble our entire guard line up is tilted to cover ball handling.

Some of it is weird because of that. It's also clear Schumate has earned some more playing time and is getting some of the forward rotation. Earley is getting some time there as well because of the Idowu being sore.

He started out aggressive and trying to make plays, had a couple nice early drives, that dump pass to the post that got us a basket and a couple rebounds. Then just went straight backwards.

Haywood makes a post pass entry tough for the first time today. Jackson with a borderline foul.

Get your best players the ball where they can score. Need to defend a lot better.
