Pope just said he needs to use the bench more

JFC he’s whining about fatigue. Fatigue isn’t his problem. He assembled a poor ”team”. Not the guys fault. He missed on the difference makers and cannot run an offense with the guys he pulled together because of his misses.

I was thinking the exact opposite (play fewer players), but I'm not a basketball coach so I could be wrong.

You are wrong. You have never seen the team on the floor that has a PG. We had 3 starters out tonight because of injuries. When they all return I’ll judge this team.
Lowe is likely not going to be reliable. Pope didn’t learn from last year. After last year, how does he do that again? He had the resources to match anyone and failed.

Jelavic had a matchup advantage, Got 6 shots

Whats the point in playing your bench when you dont exploit the advantages they show,
Jelavic is a willing passer. Coulda played through him tonight. Spacing and movement was terrible tonight.

Nope. Pope was asleep at the wheel. It was an evident advantage to exploit that started to appear in the first half.

This crash and burn is going to be epic, watching Pope having to go back to a low major job at some Mormon school in western Utah!

Dude is already talking like someone who just had an epileptic seizure… Deeper into his bench?!?

Are we having a laugh yet 😩
