Our best lineup is Hubbard, Epps, McGhee, JDF, and Ballard. I could be convinced of Euro starting over McGhee but then Jones, Achor, and either Euro or McGhee coming over the bench. 8 man rotation. Achor needs the least minutes out of all of them. Delquan Warren plays if we need him but he doesn't need consistent minutes.

Still confused on why Ali or Walker don't get more minutes over Achor.

The 3 guard lineup you lose defense and rebounding. I don’t mind McGhee being the first guy off the bench and JDF or Euro starting but I do agree that the trio of guards needs 5 minutes minimum on floor together each half

We sucked at rebounding even when State had a bigger lineup on the floor. Now Memphis caused some matchup problems because they were longer but Memphis had 22 second chance points.

Double edged sword no matter what. I will say it seemed we had at least 5 rebounds that we just dropped or lost control of

It’s the best lineup but I don’t think he can afford to play the three guards at the same time. If Warren was more reliable you could do a rotation but he has to have Maghee come off the bench to rotate with Epps or Hubb.
