Ever been done before?

of course. I'm sure 5 guys have played 40 minutes before. Who do you want to play? The two guys that couldn't play in the MAC right now?

G came up a couple of seconds short...fouled out

It is amazing the lack of depth we have. McCollough's injury killed whatever margin for error we had in depth. If Joseph was more aggressive I doubt Patterson would play.

These guys have to be gassed on the court and their legs tired at the end.

TC is averaging more that 40:00 in ACC play. Think about that.

Please enlighten me where I said they SHOULDN'T have played 40 minutes.

I'll wait.

College legs don't get tired after running around like mad men in a physical division 1 basketball game.

And no, I'm not saying we can afford to sub anyone. That's the conundrum.

You didn't. But usually on this board when you see minutes played, the next line is that chino should have played or BJ. I was just asking you a question.

It'll be interesting to see how weary the legs are on Momday night.

Fair.

Hell, I would have rather put BJ in the game and give him a chance to jack a 3 than have Cooney inbounds to Rak just to be fouled.

LOL well, that shouldn't be an option.

Off the top of my head, 5 guys played 40 against LaSalle and Kobe's dad in the '75 NCAA's.

That game went OT didn't it?

Indeed! 87-83. In Philly no less!

That was an OT game. How many had 40+?

I have to assume they all did. Next time I see Coach, I'll ask him. You know he'll remember!

You still see Roy Danforth!?

Well played. I think his young assistant at the time would recall!

agree sadly. that last play should have been Rak inbounding with Cooney, G, Buss and BJ on the floor. find the one most open and let them jack it.

Should have let Cooney run off a pick and see if he could get open without passing it to Rak...if not, put G in the opposite corner and pass it to him.

Don't know if it's amazing but certainly a perfect storm. Save one scholarship for loaded 2015 class, lose 2 players at least somewhat unexpectedly to the NBA in April (I say somewhat since both Jerami and Tyler blew up after the early signing period leaving virtually no time to react and recruit replacements), lose 2 more to season ending injuries. Compound that with 2 scholarship players that apparently aren't ready to be significant contributors at this level yet.

Starting to think that in the days of one-and-dones the 13-scholarship limit might have to be addressed. Either that or the high majors will become much more reticent to recruit projects, no matter how high the potential since they don't have the luxury to give them time to develop.
