And we just hope its respectable. Not that I disagree but my God how we have fallen. It sickens me. We finally have what I believe is a real good point guard. If Lee does more than merely shows up, if he plays aggressive and doesn't treat this like a pickup game(stand around shooting long jumpers and blocking shots only after someone had gone around him) we WILL win this game. NO we aren't Duke but we aren't playing Duke either. NO EXCUSES! Win the f'ing game.

Yessir!!!

I think we match up well with these guys.

You're also the guy who thinks Smallwood should play more...

And Haase thought he was worth a scholarship, so your point is.....

And he should play, he a pretty good player.

Players on the bench are like tools in your tool box. You may not need them every day or for every job. But you should know how to utilize every one of them when the need arises.

If Wiley plays and Auburn gets us into a slow paced walk it up 55-52 ballgame where Wiley is the main focus of their attack, then Smallwood should play until he fouls out. Neither Cokley or Haha are big enough to guard him. Cokely gives up 4" and Haha 55 lbs., so we have to double team him. That leaves a shooter open, and we're beat.

And this goes for any team we play with a quality big man.
