Lance Ware

Didn’t wanna take his heart away.
He didn't look good in those 2 minutes either. Rightfully sat the bench.
Honestly, it's fitting, he's a good rebounder, though that's about it, he hustles, though Toppin had it going tonight and Cal made the right choice.
UK must have played well and won as griping about Lance Ware’s minutes is waaaaaay down the line.
Farrrrrr Cal!!!
I like Ware but on just about every rebound he pushes off, how many times are you going to do that if you know there's a problem. When you are 6 foot 9 you shouldn't have to push off, he's just not ready.
Love Ware's toughness but Toppin is better offensively and that's what's needed on this team.
Didn't get to see but parts of the game here and there. Sorry I'll try to do better...
I mean.. whose minutes should he have? And don't tell me some hindsight dogshit answer based on someone not having a great night. Askew Mintz Boston Brooks Toppin Jackson Sarr... 7 guys who need minutes.. How can you play guys like Ware?
Love his motor. He’s just raw. Could be a stud in a few years if he works.
The team plays better when either Saar or Jackson are at center but not when both are on the court. Toppin saved us tonight and his mid-range game might be the right fit to support either of the centers. He needs work on rebounding though. So it appears a 3 guard look with Toppin and Saar/Jackson is the best option at present.
Not everyone can play. I never expected him (or Fletcher) to log meaningful minutes this season.
2 too many. He should never ever play . He couldn't average 6 a game in the OVC . He has little to no talent .
We need dudes on the court who can score. Ware doesn't do that. Don't get me wrong though, he has a ton of hustle. I hope he stays as many years as he wants, but he couldn't play in that game last night.
Ware has more talent than you're giving him credit for. He shows flashes of offensive ability, and toughness in the post. If you watch the little things, he's also an incredibly good teammate. Encourages his brothers and picks them up when they're down and frustrated. Reminds me of a Freshman Dakari Johnson

Yes and yes. However, it appeared that Ware's man screened him from the drive; which is a problem in itself because he allowed his man to gain inside position on him on the block. If someone had cut off the driver, he could've dished it to Lance's man for the dunk.
I wish he had Dakari's hands.
Ware just isnt ready to make an impact every game. Glad we get to see him for a few years
This one baffled me as well considering he was the only one with a body big enough to bang with Vandy down low.
A typical freshman who needs 3-4 years to develop no shame in this.
He does seem to push a lot, and it's always so obvious (at least when watching on TV). Maybe he should switch to holding jersey's.
Sorry, I edited my above post to Ware, not Sarr. I was thinking about Ware with my comments.
I think we had 5 guys in double figures last night and our PG had 9 points so Ware was not going to get very many minutes.
He's exactly the type player many want, not a OAD, he just needs time to develop. 54, your correct he does show flashes of several abilities, he just needs time and encouragement. IMHO he will excel and be cherished by most fans in the future.
He is a typical Freshman and has no business playing big minutes in the SEC as a Freshman. He has looked lost the last few games.
Love his hustle and he will be a value 4 year player if he doesn’t take the instant gratification route and transfer.

Wow. Complaining about Ware only getting 2 minutes now? Is that where we are? Enjoy the win. Dude killed us tonight while he was in.
I think he has a bright future. He is what fans have been clamoring for a multi year player. Also he is a key in helping us land Wagner Jr along with his half brother.
I like Ware - good free throw shooter - that means just get the J working for next year - learn a go to post move
That kid is going to be a player

OP is trying to steal Ware's joy. Nobody steals his joy.
Lance Ware is so tough....Chuck Norris tells his grandkids about him.
Cal has found his rotation, and statistically there’s no question it’s the right one. The four highest efficiency players on the team are Jackson, Brooks, Sarr, and Toppin. That’s two deep in both forward positions, and Ware and Fletcher are the odd men out.
Is every guy supposed to get 20 minutes a game or something? We are playing our best BB of the year the last 3 games and scoring in the 80s after struggling in the 50s and 60s most of the season. I like the tighter rotation. Some of these guys need to stick with it and they will get their minutes next year if they work hard.
