DRC chalk talk: Rice at UNT

A change to starting Arikawe and Simmons is more due to Temara's shooting slump and Arikawe's substantial improvement than anything else.  Being Temara is taller than Arikawe it is not adding height to the lineup.   NT has used 4 guard lineups but they just don't have enough guards to consistently use that lineup. 

I was hoping the news would be that Duffy is going to be available.  I hope using Temara off the bench might ignite his play to where he was at the first of the year.

Arikawe plays bigger than Temara even if he is not as tall. 

Arikawho? Arikawe!

Sure he does because he stays in the front court, while Temara's offensive role is more outside.  It is fairly obvious that McCasland is not happy with Temara's defense.  So when he is struggling with his 3 shoot, he not going to get the minutes.

Eeaaaaasy he's got a ways to go before he gets that chant from me... ODUFAWHO? ODUFAWA!!!  That dude earned his stripes.  AJ Lawson giving this guy hope that defense is returning to the pit! Charges galore.
