It sure had nice results when UK did it. No platooning and turmoil pursues, BUT UK wins (by a little bit).

I'm sure you will see the precious platoon when we play tomorrow evening IF everyone shows up and we win big.
That will NOT be the reason we do win big though, but rather Missouri sucks.
If we have a close game we will go to a more traditional rotation.

UK hasn't truly platooned since game 2. Cal plays who is playing best with the exception of the first 5 mins of both halfs.
I think the platooning is why we can beat other teams down. When we get away from it then we become a "normal" team.
SMDH at that statement . Either Dream , you don't watch UK basketball or you just like to type flat out lies . WE used platooning , which for the very last time for people who are slow is putting a group of players ( 3 or more ) in for another group,, in every single game until the UL game . WE used it for half a game in that game and then went to normal patterns . We used for the 1st 10 minutes in the Ole miss game and the first 6 minutes of Texas A&M . But thank god we went back to it last night and i think Cal has realized one of the big reasons we struggled was b/c we abandoned it to soon .
Thought what Cal said about it was a good point. He stated that players playing less minutes in their time frames have less chance to make enough bad plays to get them mentally down in the game and them knowing their time on floor is dealt out fairly equal they have less qualms about being taken out if they are doing a decent job. The moral has seemed better with the platoon.
Also like his reasoning with Hawkins on the first team so he can take the best ball handler on D. It would be nice to see Willis get more minutes as a sub for both units when their is foul trouble, an injury or when someone is just way off his game that day.
