Just a hunch...

AT had 2 points and zero rebounds in 16 minutes against Evansville.

If he was the better option at the 5, then Coach Les would be playing him more. My guess would be he'll only play against ISU if WE/SS get into foul trouble.

Don't forget the 3 blocked shots......

You are most likley correct though about him ONLY playing if we have foul trouble..... and while playing AT ISN'T a "better option" then either WE or SS it could make that position stronger with a more rested WE AND the team better by being deeper.

Singh has 4 points, 6 rebounds, and 0 blocks in 25 minutes against Evansville this season.

I'm not convinced he is the better option, especially since he won't be here next season. AT could use the playing time to show what he has to offer us next season and beyond.

Anthony Thompson had several minutes in the Illinois Game. I think he has been playing better in practice and earned some minutes. If you want to think creatively I think he has skills for a 4 and that would keep him out of the pushing in the Post which is where the physical strength becomes an issue. He also has a perimeter shot. I do think I would start him and see how the game is officiated before sending Will in.

I think the "better in practice" is usually our code for finishing a team rule punishment.

Nah....I'd get two quick T's and be outta the game before the 5 minute mark of the 1st half. But if I DID put 2 bigs in at once OOB would by my 2010 golf pass for sure.
Serious question though......you think JL is going to throw all 3 guys at Odiakosa? When AT is in, run a zone to give him some help and keep WE fresh and outta foul trouble.

Dog, not only will I buy you the golf pass but all the 19 hole beer you can drink for 2010
We have suffered way two long with this small play BS
My answer is, it would be a good idea but NO, JL won't do it! We were lucky we seen it once this year (WE & SS) for 5 mins. Worked realy good and then never seen it again

If AT plays the 5 and try's to Bone Up against the upcoming teams 5's, Lord have mercy on him and JL could be up for manslaughter

I don't think it's possible for AT or anyone else for that matter to get as abused as WE and SS did against ISU last time.

I agree! But to their defense, they did not get much (any) help either That was one of the games where AW and TB missed the bus and stayed home

OOB, don't forget, they are raising season pass prices this year.

I don't care how much they will go up, if dog can bring a much needed bigger game to BU, its worth it I'll pay it How you doing friend Warm out there You hitting them straight Not much going on back here! Waiting for BU to put on a run so that we can go to St. Louis and have a chance to win it all Take Care

I wish Jim would put Thompson in more and then play zone as A.T. did a good job playing in a zone, it gives us another option off the bench.

Would be nice if WE could move to the 4 for a few a game with AT or SS playing the 5!

The funniest post of the year so far!

[thefish7]

I personally don't want to see SS, AT, and WE on the floor at the same time... But AT, WE, and TB at the same time I'd quite like to see. WE and AT could be dangerous high-low partners as BB suggested.

I agree and seemed to notice that the 2-3 zone from Drake negated most of the output from Odiakosa...I believe he had 1 point and 2 fouls in the first half...

Besides, I'd rather make ISU prove they can knock down jumpers all night on the road than give them easy layups and free throws.
