Next game- Bradley vs. UMKC in Ft. Myers 11/24

I am just saying that it is true that playing time for JL is based somewhat on how a kid does in practice. But that is not the sole determining factor.

If it was, the starting lineup would change every time a kid had a bad practice. But it doesn't.

Every coach has his methods and reasons for determining playing time.
 
The thing Matt Salley gave this team was toughness as he did not have as much talent as a lot of our players but he was willing to fight for a rebound and he did not get pushed around , he had some bad t"s last season because of his temper, but I liked the way he was willing to fight for our team. I don"t think he got the credit he deserved for having to guard opposing centers that were a lot bigger .

Agreed completely. He has not even two inches on AW and Theron, and was guarding 5's. He never got credit for what he did down-low last year. Agreed, the T were infuriating, but if DC got that fire, DC would be All-MVC or close (there's still time...). I think MS will be missed more than people realize. DC is flat out better offensively, and better at blocking shots, but as far as setting screens and help side D MS was far superior.
 
It'd be cool to have MS this year along with SS and DC. With DC at the 5 still but MS playing the 4 and then TW at the 3...interesting...

I have no doubts that Jim plays the best players and the players that give us the best chance to win. Why that is being questioned two games into a 30+ game season is unfathomable.

yea it's a shame people graduate :D

I really hope someone steps up in the 4 spot. Theron looks like he's been getting pushed around at that spot. Plus he just plain plays better at the 3

Did he graduate? I swear I still see him around all the time on campus
 
I think it is good that Matt is working to get his degree ,had he gone somewhere else I doubt he would have been put in position to achieve this goal. It also speaks loudly about him as far as what is important to him.

I remember wondering if or when or ever 'Cellus would finally play his more natural 3 spot. Never happened, Playing "bigger" will only happen if we get taller guards.

Actually I enjoyed the times he took it inside on the block...

One of the biggest games of his career was the Semi tournament game where he posted Cousinard and Wilson a bunch and ended up w/ a double-double
 
Just got back to the hotel in Ft. Myers after spending a few hours over on Ft. Myers Beach. The weather here is great. It topped out at 75 degrees today, and it's sunny and clear. I'll post a couple pictures as soon as I upload them, just to make everyone back in the Midwest jealous.
I am staying at the same hotel the team stays at, but they haven't arrived here yet.

Gotta run- the manager's cocktail party is starting.:D
