Starting lineup -Nova

I honestly think he comes out starting our best players, knowing it's basically a now or never type situation.

Rysheed
Greene
Harrison
Jakarr
Sanchez

I'd rather have Greene sit and go Obekpa, but I doubt that will happen, and I'll take what I can get.

I agree with this lineup.  I don't think you need 3 bigs against Nova, so it wouldn't make sense to have CO start too.  I think Dom is first off the bench unless Rysheed commits a couple of early fouls.  Then, Branch might come in early.  Keys to the game are, obviously, to defend the 3 and limit Pinkston's effectiveness down low.  I think Gift might muscle him more effectively than Sanchez or Chris.

I would start
Obepka
Sampson
Pointer
Harrison
Jordan

Bench:6-8
Sanchez, Greene, Branch

9th man depending on matchups GG or Hooper

I would settle for Harrison, Sampson and Jordan starting with the other 2 coming from anyone else from the 10 I listed.
No Felix, no French Hooper unless you feel he is bettere than American Hooper and No Rudy's

Dont want dom and Obekpa both starting. Either one or the other.

I think  starting five of the following is prudent and what most coaches  and posters  :-would do; Sheed,DLo,Greene,Dom, Sanchez, Sampson  and  CO. But ,unfortunately we will see Felix, Gift or a walkon starting. That is what is making me and the other posters crazy.

Agree 100% with both these posts.  I think this is what HE comes out with although I would rather have Dom for Greene.

Enough scoring with Harrison, Jordan and Sampson
With those three you could even start Felix and Rudy. Just kidding but I don't like the three guard offense(Greene) but you could talk me into Sanchez  instead of Obepka or Pointer.

I don't think you can start Sampson, Sanchez, Obekpa because then you have all your height on the court at once.   If any of them pick up a quick foul or two - or the 10min mark comes and someone needs a breather - you have noone to turn to but Gift.

That's why - despite all his maddening lineups - I think it's smart that coach staggers their playing time.   

Here, by popular demand (or no demand at all), are the 8 different starting lineups that have been put on the floor so far this season and I will note the 5 different lineups in the last 6 games:

Branch, Jordan, Harrison, Sampson, Sanchez
Greene, Harrison, Sampson, Sanchez, Obekpa
Greene, Harrison, Hooper, Sampson, Obekpa

5 different lineups in last 6 games:

Jordan, Greene, Harrison, Sampson, Obekpa (VS. SYRACUSE)
Jordan, Greene, Harrison, Sampson, Sanchez (VS. SAN FRANCISCO and VS. COLUMBIA)
Greene, Harrison, Balamou, Sampson, Sanchez (VS. YOUNGSTOWN ST)
Greene, Harrison, Sampson, Sanchez, God's Gift (VS. XAVIER)
Pointer, Harrison, Balamou, Sanchez, NDiaye (VS. GEORGETOWN)

I would love to know how many other Division 1 teams have started 8 or more different starting lineups at this point in the season.

Let alone with no injury problems!

Thanks for the jinx!  Ugh...

I think he realizes the heat is on a bit and he starts Rysheed, Harrison, Jakarr, Sanchez and who knows for the 5th but it will be one of the regulars + Hooper.

What heat? The higher ups don't care and our fan base is minuscule.
