With the two injuries our roster is significantly depleted.

Isn't there any value in trying to win a few more (especially @ home....forget Perdue)?

I believe Mensah tries but has no real talent on the "O" side of the ball. On top of that he's slow, and seems predictable...so there's little if any value to his playing time.

Bullock needs some sort of plan to build up his endurance / lose weight. He DOES have a shot...and could be serviceable (but he's not Eugene).

Therefore, I'm asking if we should look toward Myles Johnson? Why not use him along with Doorson, or Freeman and present twin or triple towers?

Don't bite my head off....but I would like to finish 13th or higher if possible. Also believe it sells better in recruits homes that we're on the way up...instead of stagnant.

You made it this far without using him with the intent of red shirting him, lets keep it that way. We all complain that we do not have depth, his red shirt adds to the depth equation.

Unfortunately we have what we have at this point. I think recruits will get that injuries have derailed this team some in the later part of the season.

Yes we have so much to play for with Hartford and Stony Brook losses on our resume. If we win out we might even be able to go to the NIT!

This party line nonsense about Bullock’s conditioning is B.S. With all the timeouts in televised college basketball, fatigue is never an issue. Years ago, some players would indicate to a coach that they needed a blow. Not the case anymore. Does anyone remember Charles Barkley’s college physique?

We are going nowhere. It makes zero sense to use him and I'm sure it won't even be entertained. Chances are even if he played, our record would be exactly the same anyway.

Except in the limited minutes he's played, he has already looked gassed at times. I think what you mean to say is "With all the timeouts in televised college basketball, there should be no excuse for a D-I player playing limited minutes to be fatigued"

What's BS - that there's no excuse to look fatigued in 5 min of play time? Or that he looked fatigued and dripping in sweat in 5 min of play time?

I don't know what's going on with his conditioning - he clearly isn't in the same physical shape we saw in his HS senior tape.
