I wanted to provide some support to my contention that the present issues with the WBB team has more to do with youth than talent.
If I crunched the numbers right, on this year's team, underclassmen are getting 65% of the minutes. That's the highest percentage in the records I have dating back to 1998-99. It has only been over 50% three other times:
61% 2004-05, record 14-15
60% 2008-09. record 18-13 (Cullop's 1st season)
52% 2014-15, record 19-14
So, far this team is 12-6, so that's pretty good so far, in comparison to those other seasons. Of course, there are a lot of games to play yet, so the final record remains to be seen.
