Really would like to see Vice get worked onto the floor after these neutral site games. He’s a big Ol dude that look like he moves around pretty well out there for his size. Our lack of size & depth in the front court worries me a bit, especially after watching a team like Memphis.
One other thing I want to mention, and Ross addressed this on the post game - Props to Oregon State for actually scheduling this game to begin with. So many of their peers are too scared to nut up and play a game like this to begin with. It was a really competitive, fun game, with a great atmosphere. Any casuals in the building last night are sure to come back for more.
I’m sure the date/time of the game came into play strategically for them accepting it to minimize our potential home-court advantage, but thankfully our fanbase showed pretty well and the HC advantage was in full force.
Hope I have the opportunity to go out for the return game next season.
I agree with most of this here and I don't think anyone is calling for a 12 man rotation...but imma pull two lines from above that are kinda contradictory to each other:
"Either these young guys are good enough to crack the 8/9 man rotation or they are not." and " if Ross offered him, he must be good."
this is basically Ross's roster at this point, and yes, while we're winning games, I haven't seen any world-beaters out there. so if these kids are being given opportunity to win playing time and aren't at least pushing the upperclassmen for minutes, I have questions about our freshmen recruiting...I don't know if they "must be good"
