Why no McLeod at all?

We can’t block a shot to save our lives. He deserved at least 8–10min.

Lemoyne had no bigs. They had a lot of movement. Not a game for McLeod.

Seemed to not be a game for most of our guys. You don’t just give a guy zero minutes.

We saw what happened when we committed to Lampkin and Davis.

McLeod being in the bench gave Lemoyne a ton of easy layups, many of which would have been prevented with McLeod out there. Freeman needs to get quicker to rotate into help defense, but he isn't supposed to be playing center!

"Deserved" is a strong word.

If you know that your getting at best 100 minutes out of him this year why has him last night.

He's in Sidibe territory.

4/5 spots are set with Lamp Freeman and Davis. Not sure why anyone would question that part of the roster. Maybe some McCleod if he's feeling it and the other team has a 7 footer.

They would have just drawn him out to the perimeter and he'd look like a circus act on stilts out there. And we couldn't zone them.

I'm pretty sure I was the only person in the game thread who felt this way, but I wouldn't have minded giving him a few minutes to see if he could mitigate the non-stop rim access that LeMoyne had all night.

How could it have possibly been worse? Lol

As opposed to the circus act every other big looked like on defense?

Fair lol.

Lampkin had issues with guarding screens and keeping up with smaller players so the solution is to put someone in who moves worse? Interesting.

Take out a slow big guy who can't block shots and replace him with a big slow guy who had the best shotblocking season out of every player in the NCAA last year?

Sure, I'd do that.

Take out a slow big guy who can't block shots and replace him with a big show guy who had the best shotblocking season or if ever player in the NCAA last year?

Sure, I'd do that.

Not when you are also considering what has to happen on the other side too.

I think McLeod would have been able to receive the lob and dunk quite easily over the team whose biggest player was 7 inches shorter and 45 pounds lighter.

Lampkin is a much better offensive player, but we scored 86 while having a terrible 3 point shooting effort. Offense wasn't our problem.

We also gave up a ton of points to a tiny team, with far too many coming from points in the paint.

Red said in his presser that he wanted to make Lemoyne a two point team... I bet he didn't want them shooting 70 freaking percent on 2 point shots because we didn't even try to challenge most of their layups.

McLeod getting a DNP was a major coaching fail.
