Who takes Obekpa's minutes?

Who is playing in rotation? What is your starting lineup?

Against SDSU I'd probably go Pointer/Jordan/Branch/Greene/Harrison and make them run with them. They have some big dudes but nothing that lineup can't handle I don't think.

Give Amar and Felix time off the bench I'd guess. I don't think they need Joey against them.

Jordan
Harrison
Greene
Pointer
Felix

I feel that Angelo Chol could be key in us losing this game. Kid is a physical specimen, from what I've seen, and will require a concentrated effort to keep him off the o-glass. Dom may be only guy on the team up for this challenge.

Pointer, Greene, Harrison, Jordan, Branch.

Amar, Felix and maybe Jones off the bench.

Jordan, Harrison, Greene, Dom and Joey.

At least Joey is good for some hard fouls. They just better be really, really hard fouls.

I go all senior plus Rysheed. I give more minutes to Amar off the bench and let him, Joey and Christian contest everything from Shepard, O'Brien, Pope and Chol.

Here's why - these 4 in SDS' main front line do not shoot the ball well - from the field or the free throw line. Shepard 41%/66%; O'Brien 46/61%; Pope 45/69%, Chol 55/49%.  Since Shepard/O'Brien have taken 600 shots to Pope/Chol's 225, I just want everything especially from Shepard/O'Brien to be tough chances. Dom's gonna shut Shrigley/Dwayne(playing?) down and DLo, Branch and PG will handle Quinn and Kell.

I expect them to pound it low, so it will depend on our help D to harass their forwards. I see us doing a lot of penetration kick outs and shooting well from the outside.

SJ 58, SDS 52

the only way we beat SDSU is if we out run them and score a ton. They aren't a high scoring team so if we can get buckets early perhaps we can take advantage there. THe lack of size and depth though is far too concerning.

Exactly. Get out and run. We have no choice but to.

None of you guys want to bench Greene? 

He's awful.  On par with Andre Stanley.

If the alternative is playing Felix or Joey.. then no.    But consider the circumstances we're in.

why are you so against phil. we don't win syracuse or GT without phil. The last 3 seasons he played out of position at the PG.

Valgoth, he's being sarcastic.
Carmine is such a fan, he's practically part of Phil's family.   Far and away the biggest PG4 fan on this board in case you have not noticed.

Thanks desco, now could you please explain Baldi.

haha i remember now, getting senile probably. PGIV has been one of our best most consistent 3 point shooters this season, I have totally forgotten his dribbling around the circle back and forth for the first 3 years

I think Branch,Jorden,Phil, DLO ,Dom get  the most PT. Sadly, those are our only true BE calibre players.

Can we get any minutes from one of the big (relatively) walk ons?  I would think Ali, Jones, DelaRosa could each get about 7 or eight minutes....maybe even ten.

No

Ok....but we might not have any choice.....if foul trouble...injury...or stamina.

One of them (walk ons) did start a game last year if I remember correctly.
