I know that the staff is still experimenting with different lineups, but some of the combos they used in the first half were real head scratchers.

Monte I am not sure which combos you didn't like? Not disagreeing at all, I just wonder if they are trying to make sure we aren't gassed by halftime. Personally, I would never take Ponds or Lovett off the floor. However, its a long game and my thinking is not realistic. Our lack of skilled bigs make the balancing act difficult I think.


At one point we had Lovett-Ellison-Amar-Yakwe-Owens. That is just unacceptable.

We've got 3 true offensive weapons. We need at least 2 of those 3 in the game at all times.

There were a few points were we had some very strange front court combos. Maybe Amar, Freud and Yakwe on court at same time.

Got you. I just think they get caught with these combos because of limits of the front court personnel. Freud, Yakwe and Amar is brutal as they are let's say mechanical at best.
 
gotta figure this game was going to be real sloppy. Effort will win. We had 3 real good defensive sets. Depaul still scored on 2.
