We've got people who trash Boeheim for not playing his bench.  And the recent guys he doesn't play enough?  Everyone from Ron Patterson to freshman Tyler Roberson to Frank Howard, etc. going way back to Eric Williams and Ethan Cole.  Do we see what Coach K has on this roster doing little and playing little???

Coach K has the #1 recruit Harry Giles coming off his bench averaging 4.9 points per game!   He's got top 10 recruit Chase Jeter averaging 2.7 points and 2.6 rebounds per game!  Top 40 recruit Javin DeLaurier averages 1.7 and 2.3.  These are potential lottery picks this year(Giles) and in the next couple years(the other two).  Yes, I know about the injuries.  That hasn't mattered when some of you criticize Boeheim's short bench this year.  So I don't care.

Frank Jackson was a borderline top 10 recruit and one of the best PG prospects not named Fultz, Ball, or Dennis Smith...and John Gillon is outplaying him(and half the board have spent the year trashing Gillon!)

We beat this team with multiple projected first round picks that don't even play!  Coach K must really suck.  Short bench and loses to a team with significantly less talent.  The entire offense was passing the ball around the perimeter aimlessly and chucking 3's or letting the stud NBA player(Tatum) make a play.  Horrible end of the game execution on the last possession as they pussyfooted with the ball on the perimeter, waited too long to go, and got a terrible shot.  And the possession before, Allen jacked a deep three and bricked it.  No defensive adjustments.  The man to man defense gave up 53 points and 70% shooting in the second half and he just sits in that same man to man. He should retire now.
