Yes -- more Joseph and more Howard (20 minutes total).   It will hurt our efficiency a bit, but it should also improve our defence in the last 20% of the game.   Kaleb does not need to play a primary offensive role -- we should always have 3 guys who can shoot or create on the floor.   Just have him focus on defence.    It may force Lydon to shoot the ball (or give him a little more confidence) which can't be a bad thing.

The 6 man rotation may have worked in the past when we have a lineup that fits the traditional roles.    But we don't and it is getting really exposed at the end of games.

Do you think we should keep doing the same?   If the late collapse had only happened in one game, or say once every 8 or 9 games, your point of keeping the same would be fine.   This would merely be whining after losing a game.  But it is a clear trend.

It was the same thing against Wisconsin, Clemson, Pitt, Miami. And we certainly made no run at St. John's or Georgetown in the back half of second -- it only got worse instead.   We got tired -- our defence falls apart.  We make more mental mistakes.    It has happened for 2 coaches.

We have some good players who play with heart -- I would like to try something different anyway just to help them out.    Have no clue if it will work, but as a fan I would hope we try it.

Just my opinion, please no "who are you to criticize".
