why is Howland playing 9-10 guys? Does he not look at analytics at all.

our starting lineup should be:

Molinar, Moore, Garcia, Matthews and Tolu. Brooks should come in at the 4 and 5. DJ Jeffries should play sparingly to rest the other 3 guys. No one else should play.

And of course we should learn to run a zone defense and use it on occasion. This isn't 1995 when the 3 points shot was an easy shot.

Those 2 changes and we would be significantly better.

This is incorrect. If we replaced the team with Starkville High, we would be better.

This team is averaging 59 points per game over the last 3.

We were a better team before Tolu came back. This is not a knock at Tolu. This is a knock at Howland being determined to play 2 bigs at all times and pounding it in the post no matter what.

If he would rotate Brooks and Tolu at the 5 for half the game we would be better. It's so frustrating to watch when I can see clear solutions. Carter and Davis need to be in the low single digits minute wise.
