Play the bench, send a msg, lose if needed

Maybe time for Hubert to bite bullet after 3 losses with the starters logging heavy minutes…..
If he’s coaching but they aren’t listening, let ‘‘em sit and develop the players who will listen.

Agree 100%. Playing the way you’ve been taught/asked is the price of entry into the game. We need more examples in film of hustle and team play to illustrate the expectations.

Clearly something needs to get the starters attention. I would hope that 3 losses might do it . Maybe it is time to take a risk and start 2-3 subs. But maybe they got it and we'll see it tonight! Either way, I trust our staff to find the right buttons!

We’ve lost 3 straight, have no chance at a #1 seed, so what’s one more loss at this point? Send a message.

IMO Nickel could space the offense with consistent deep shots

I am sure everyone has a solution but we get blasted by a 3 point guy that nobody has ever heard of and we actually have one

 

[Grover Thomas]

I say promote the JV players and let them play the rest of the games.

No chance?😗 Still have not played a conf game yet.

Most No. 1 seeds only lose 3-5 games all season. We’ve already lost 3. You think we won’t lose any more?

Agree, Start the bench players till further notice

Trimble and Nickel played hard and contributed. Didn't get anything out of Puff or Styles. I know Puff started due to the Mando scratch. The bench is going to have to contribute to stay in. Kinda defeats the purpose of sending a message if the ones you give the time to do the same or less. I thought RJ, Caleb, Nance, and Leaky played harder then Puff or Styles.

I actually liked bringing the bench and tbh this was WAY overdue !!! The "Iron 5" aint much more than the rusty 5 and their "run it back" is weak sauce because they forgot how to play "team" and reverted to hero ball and it's shown all year !!

 

[sctarheel30]

So how did the bench do

 

[TPFKAPFS]

They played like bench players. I think they need more time, but I also pray the starters get tired of losing their way and start to listen like they did last year! I trust we have the coaches to see us through this and I know we have peeps almost ready to make a difference!
