Time to rest. It's March.

 

[FerShizzle]

there is zero reason for the regular rotation to be in the game. zero. figure it out TJ.

 

[Cardinal2001]

Noooooooo don't pull any starters FOOT ON THE GAS, NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER SURRENDER!

 

[isucyfan]

Nice first win on the new techy floor. Some are saying it's a glass-kicking.

 

[cycloner29]

Subs please!

 

[JP4CY]

Youre assuming TJ is making them play. Id guess this is 100% their choice.

Yeah they are grinders, just wouldnt mind some more rest for this week.

 

[Erik4Cy]

Moe Odum is a good player. Holding him to 2pts & fouled out with 6 mins left is crazy.

[BigLame]

Atta way

 

[isucy86]

Maybe.

Sometimes if you're not hitting, forcing something doesn't really create more confidence.

I'd rather have him build some confidence when ISU is up 30+ vs. a close game. I don't have an issue with him passing up 3 point shots if he understands he's struggling with that shot. There are other guys on the court who can make a 3 pt shot on a pass from Toure.

But Toure passed up at least 3 open shots around the Big12 logo in the paint. Those are shots he has to take or he becomes a liability in ISU's half court offense. His not taking shots makes it harder for the other 4 players to get quality shots.

There we go.

Its ok everyone, they are getting benched. They are all out of points.

 

[cyclo120]

Ball movement was incredible today.

 

[RezClone]

ISU gonna win by one whole Dybantsa.

That's a lot of points.

 

[Cyched]

Let them break 40? Sigh.

You guys worry way too much about this. Players are just as likely to get injured in practice.

You put in bench guys to get them experience and reward them for the hard work. I'm not sure coaches even factor in injury avoidance when deciding when to take guys out in blowouts.

tired: Take the starters out, they could get hurt

wired: Mommy's 3P% must not drop

Not so much the injury, its you might have to play 4 games in 4 days..

But he pulled Jeff and Lipsey with 5 left so that is good.

You honestly think 3 minutes of rest going to make that difference over 4 in 4? Come on.

Will see what it's like after this break, but ASU still had three of their starters in and the two others are major bench players. If they want to keep playing let's keep playing (vs. clear our own bench).
