Sounds like a good opportunity to park the underperforming typical starters on the bench and let them watch until the first media timeout.

AK has shown he doesn't have the courage to do that.

Only 5 worse teams in D1 basketball per kenpom. UNT is playing the worst team tonight. And USF playing a relative powerhouse in Bethune Cookman at #291.
And #352 Alcorn State is up next. I don't like these kind of games. They do nothing to prepare us for #67 UNT on 12-31.

We’ve been prepared to lose that game all year
I’ll go all negative. I hope we can keep it close.
Nice to get Shaver and Gordon in the game at the 9 min mark. Tell Myles get ready too.
Yax has to figure out how not to foul. We’ve lost multiple games largely because of that already.
No lead is safe, that’s for sure
Steve Irvine's tweet said Gregory Gordon nowhere to be found. MIA before Christmas? That's a new one I think.
Hasn’t he been the one that has been going to the Women’s games with Yax and Christian?

IDK
Well I win the bingo card for which player was leaving this year.
James white was gone before this time last year right?
Anyways, where will Gordon play next year and will he suddenly be scoring 15+ ppg again?
You’re right Answer. Looks like Gordon may be this year’s White.
Coleman having a monster night. Yax on the milk carton. Three point shooting continuing to get better.
Ever since Gordon couldn’t find his drivers license or birth certificate, he’s been in the dog house big time.
But whose job was it higher than him on the totem pole to make sure that he had the correct documentation for the trip? In my opinion, it was a failure of leadership, as well as a failure on the players part.
I agree with blazers.
After being excellent last year at contesting shots, playing defense, and blocking shots without fouling, Yax has all of a sudden turned into KJ Buffen.
The regression in his fouling, free throw shooting, and absolute refusal to play like an alpha, plus how crappy our team is - all factors really harming his draft stock. I don’t think he gets drafted now, unless there’s a big turnaround with his and the team’s season.
