3 of those on the bench are red-shirting. Really no one else to put in

Last 5 guys on the bench (eligible to play) should’ve been in much earlier.

Well the problem is that they were all playing. 13 scholarships, 2 are redshirting, one is hurt. 3 walk-ons, all redshirting. We've got 10 players that could play. Kinda wonder if they've thought of looking for a football player that could come be a mop up guard. This team is built to generate garbage time but has no guards that aren't important.

Thanks AZ…why redshirt 3 walk-ons? Besides practice, this was exactly the type game where you need one or two. Prolly a good reason but I can’t think of it.

These are the guys I was referring to, they should be getting mop-up duty. Sitting with the hope of being good enough to transfer to Ashland and play but not good enough to get a few odd minutes here and there makes zero sense. To maintain such a short roster of only 10 players is not a good idea when they start getting hurt and you burn your players out come tournament time. Why even travel and wear a uniform if they won't get into a blowout with the outcome decided at halftime? Also, it's odd that in football you can play 4 of 12 games before burning a redshirt year, but in basketball you can't even play one game.
