I think shuffling players in-and-out of the game disrupts continuity and flow for the team. Also it tells me players aren't in shape to go longer.<br /><br />The players on the bench better be able to play and contribute, I mean, they were recruited to play basketball at DU.<br /><br />I've only seen one game, the loss to Wyoming. I believe in the second half on two straight possessions Byrd hit shots. On the next dead ball he was subbed out. Why? He scored back-to-back and now he's yanked?<br /><br />I agree with Puck Swami that when three's aren't falling they're going to need other ways to score. They didn't against Wyoming. And when the Summit games start DU's lack of size is going to be felt when players are getting banged around by Summit teams, almost, if not all, have big, strong guys underneath.allrightnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-4878310986562186902015-12-03T16:36:43.651-07:002015-12-03T16:36:43.651-07:00Superb analysis, Tim.

But they are a bunch of really scrappy gymrats, and it seems like rebounding is really improving over previous years, probably through being in better positions.<br /><br />Shooting has been pretty good, but when the three balls aren't falling, the Pios are going to need to find other ways to win.<br /><br /><br /><br />Puck Swaminoreply@blogger.com
