Jim Les show on WMBD this morning

Milos is an underclassman.
AW and DD are the other upperclassmen, but DD was known for D and translating that passion to CR last year...

you know I have to disagree a little..although I want to win EVERY game...this one was not about winning..it was about getting to look at the players against outside competition...he needed to play them and the subject of when is a tough call... I think in a regular season game you are correct and that is what you will see...

My thoughts exactly. People on here say we need to play these guys more to get them experience and then when we do play them in a meaningless exhibition game and they don't play as good as some think they should people get all bent out of shape.
If this was a regular season game or more importantly a conf game then I could see getting all upset.

Agreed, this underscores why I oppose trying to just play bigs because they are tall. Put the talent and hard workers out there. And make the others work for it. You can only develop so much in a game, you have to be ready for it to get anything out of it.

Wait one, friend:) Lets not let this subbing mistake go to underscoring playing BIG:roll: First why make the sub at all:? It was a momentum killer:? (The one mistake JL, in my opinion makes way to much):!: Second, why put two bench players (your 4 and 5 among the bigs) in together:? (one in his second year and the other, well). All I can say it was a exhibition game and at that point Jimmy wasn't thinking win but wanted to see how they would respond! Especially his 6'11, 4th year player:roll: As stated by many who saw the game, the game was lost by poor D and a lot of their points came from our guards leaving or losing their man:!: Its not just about the most talented, hardest workers, who's big or who's small but what combination of players can play together and get the job done:!: I'm hopefull we will know real soon:D

He went big and gets slammed!:-o Let's all not get carried away. We'll see what this team is made of come Friday. Test one though says that AT is still not ready. JP better be who a lot of our posters claim he is or we will have a long season of a bunch of people jumping off the cliff.:? We need another big in our lineup that can play quality minutes.

Well the 6'8" guy I was mentioning is NOT Prosser...

Prosser did just fine...


As a famous quote would say, the two guys are who I thought they were

I never said anything about JP except if he can't play quality minutes then we are in trouble because our other bigs coming off the bench still are just that, bench players. WE will need someone to back him up. If anyone believes WE will play the 4 with JP at the 5 then keep dreaming. We will need WE and JP to play nothing but the 5. TB will need to play huge minutes and keep out of trouble.

I believe it is not important in college basketball with a timeout every 4 minutes to have more then 8 or 9 players in a rotation.

I still think our 9 players from DSE to Egolf are quality and there arent minutes available for much more, Eastman seems like an ok player but I just can not see where his minutes would contribute more then the other 9 you listed. But that is why they practice and hopefully the best play the most minutes and earn those minutes with consistant hard nosed play.

I agree with all the 4 min. and regular timeouts you get that you could get away with an 8 man rotation, the right combination could get you a good enough cushion in 7-8 of the games that you could work 2 more p[layers in at the end, I hate it when we sub multiple players in especially when the guys on the floor are on a good run.
 
JL keeps preaching defense, defense, defense for the last million years, however 2 seasons ago, he visited the Phoenix Sun's camp and partially adopted their offense. As we all know, the Phoenix Suns are all about Offense and very little D. Very similar to how our seasons have been these last 2 years and seems like again this year. Perhaps JL should go visit the Spurs or Boston.

Me too. Can't wait until Friday, it will be the first look at this seasons team for those of us living away from Peoria. Hope they put on a good show! I watched the Illini game and this was fun, about three minutes in BW hollers "get the ball inside", at least I think that's what he said, because they were bricking threes and then Paul shortly turns it around and hits 5 threes in a row, he left him in the game ;)
