If Dins win they are Champs

I am excited about Saturday but sort of dread the game Saturday night, if you know what I mean. Its in their hands, we’ll see how they do. You know Wofford will be sky high. This game will not be one we need to experiment with 6 different lineups the first 5 minutes like tonight. The game is on channel 62 locally.

agree with the lineups and it seemed very crazy but at the end CIT was worn out and Dins were fresh. Maybe Coach knows what he is doing. Seems like there are at least 3 reliable players that can come off the bench which is goodapaladin wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 9:16 pmI am excited about Saturday but sort of dread the game Saturday night, if you know what I mean.

I thought the mass subs throughout the first half was crazy too, but it resulted in our guys having fresh legs the last 6 minutes of the game.
Dean Smith used to do that a lot. Play a lot of players in the first half playing frenzied defense and in the second half mostly stick with the starters with a few key subs. He won a few games doing that.
I would like to see something similar Sat. night but maybe not quite as much as tonight. We need to smother Murphy with defense rotating several players to wear him down.

We should play to let anybody beat us rather than Murphy.. He is not tall and it is not like he is Isaiah Miller. I would cover him like glue.
Who is our best defensive player to shut him down?

I will celebrate only after we do it. What is sort of shocking is that we control our own destiny. It has not been pretty and again I don’t think the top 4 are as dominant this year. The league parity is pretty crazy. It would be nice to beat Wofford, be regular season champs and go into Asheville on a roll. I think the tourney is wide open. It is literally going to be which team gets hot at the right time plus a little luck.

IMHO, The subbing had very little to do with having fresh legs at the end. Hunter, Bothwell and Gurley all played 33 or 34 mins and Mounce played 31. The crazy subbing did have a lot to do with almost losing.FurmAlum wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 10:09 pmI thought the mass subs throughout the first half was crazy too, but it resulted in our guys having fresh legs the last 6 minutes of the game.

I posted earlier today that I wished uncg would pull a FU when we won by 18 on Monday and lost by 6 on Wednesday. Lo and behold they did! They won by 21 and lost by 1. Wishes do come true.

On a given night I think any of the lower tier teams could pull a shocker-as Western did.
