Not really an excuse in this game... Not when we're up 19.

[NT03]

Maybe if we subbed our starters in the 2nd half when they were tired & turning the ball over while letting FAU get back into the game..... So pissed

Wrong....cause it translates to depth or our apparent lack of it now.

[CMJ]

Really thought not playing the bench was a big mistake. Roger's missed FT's in overtime were probably mostly attributed to no legs.

You're right.... but the entire 2nd half of the season boils down to them 2.

[CMJ]

We've actually played decently enough since they were kicked off truth be told.

Not playing the bench more is really something I can't get over here. I really have no clue what JJ was thinking.

No doubt we could have used them. But, we still have other guys on the bench that could have stepped in a stopped something.

I have to say, there was some questionable subbing down the stretch while up by 19.. but hindsight is 20/20.

You mean lack there of ? How many minutes did anyone on the bench have in the 2nd half / OT.

[GrandGreen]

Fact is NT doesn't have much of a bench. Much of that 19 point lead loss was in the time the subs were in. They were tired but didn't play smart with the big edge, sounded like a lot of careless ball handling.

A big positive was Holmen, if he can continue to play well; it will be a big lift to the team. These guys are going to have to play big minutes because there is little depth, so I guess that might as well get used to it. The tournament is going to be brutal.

By the way, J. Williams and Jones have been gone a long time; blaming them at this point is pointless as well IMO as being counter-productive.

[Green P1]

Tyler had like 35 seconds...

Yep. Gotta trust em to sub em. Tough, especially at the 1 & 2 to sub during critical time. Tougher yet cause Alzee isn't a true 1. Little bit exposed tonight... Dang turnovers!

Holman was good. Tonight is what I've hoped for all year from him. Maybe healthy now.
