Evansville Preview and Game Thread -- 2-23-2022

At what point do we start to rest some guys? Starters are all 15+ minutes with Uguak, Williamson, and Norris already approaching 20.

Honestly, should be now. TY/Keith should be in for the rest of the game to let Braden rest. Saint in for Lucas.

Also, where's Welch? He has looked so good and is now getting zero minutes in a 30 point blowout?

15 minute mark. Keep schweiger out there to see if he can break his funk, but rest Lucas, Norris, Uguak, and Knight; empty the bench.

Does anyone know where that half stands in the record book?

There's a couple of teams that have only managed 4 points in a half. I don't know if it's the full list but I know Eastern Michigan (2018) and Northern Illinois (2013) have done it.

Was wondering this too

Coach, no starter should be out there. Norris and Knight need to sit. Let Will finish the game.

Wow. THAT was needed basketball therapy.

I like it when basketball is fun. That was fun. I hope we also have fun on Saturday.

Per Drew, Welch touched up an ankle. Could have played if needed. Hoping Kennedy will be back.

I know Evansville is really bad, but why are we able to actually run sets/plays against them and not against anybody else recently?

I was wondering this, too. We ran a couple plays for threes, and we threw an alley oop like Porter used to run, but I think it was the first time we tried it all year. Feels like we need more stuff like that to pull out when we are struggling a lnd not getting looks just running the regular offense.

I guess I'm in the minority but I thought Drew played it right. We had 11 guys available and needed to win big to boost ourselves in the efficiency ratings. Take everybody out and we hurt ourselves if it becomes a 15 point game.

Especially knowing Welch was banged up, I think he did it right. Lucas done around 9, Aher after. Braden only came back in for some respect to Schwieger.

Can’t forget the seniors want to play in front of their family too! All around great job

Well you guys are right about the margin of victory, move up to 27 in kenpom; 9 spot jump.
