Benching seniors just for the sake of getting ready for next year sends a horrible message to the team and is a terrible way to run a program. You play whoever gives you the best chance to win each game, period.
Starting Lineup Post Halliburton?
- Thread starter cuphues
- Start date
Show me in the rules where it says we are obligated to play these last 8 games.
Nixon isn’t going to be the primary ball handler to replace Tyrese so I’d go with Lewis because he’s been better in games he gets to play 15+ minutes. Starting Nixon probably means he’ll think he needs to put up 10+ shots again and that’s never good for this team. I don’t start Jacobson because he’s been a black hole offensively. He was solid early defensively against KSU but not good enough imo to keep Conditt off the floor. Plus, we’re 10-13 so I’m not starting two seniors. I’m allowing some of the younger guys to get more minutes and those younger guys have been just as good, if not better than Nixon and Jacobson. Mike has played 15+ minutes in 6 straight games and he’s averaging 3.5 points during that stretch.
I was watching the god damn defense. A big reason we took a 21-2 lead was mikes defense. He blocked shots, tipped balls, got rebounds. Please watch the first 10 minutes from Saturday.
if he is not on some nights, give him 15 minutes like he’s gotten sometimes this year. But he was good Saturday.
Probably sometimes they would be really good, and other times they would be really bad.
Which is kind of how the season has played out
Yeah I am not even advocating that is the starting lineup. I would be fine starting Nixon in place of Hali. That lineup is one I would like to see get some run though.Probably sometimes they would be really good, and other times they would be really bad.

how many points is Lewis giving up? It goes both ways. But I promise you there will be plenty of playing for the future. But the lineup that WON us a game with Tyrese for 15 minutes included Jake and Nixon.
I don’t know if you have some sort of weird fetish with Lewis or what.
Only saw the first page, but this is what I would roll with, and least initially:
- Nixon
- Jackson
- Lewis
- Jacobson
- Solo
Conditt and Griffin first off the bench
Bolton spotting Jackson (not PG duties).

Jacobson has been awful this year but he was really active on the defensive end Saturday
Well not very much considering Kansas State only put up 63 points and 34 of those were from Diarra and Gordon. Lewis wasn’t on either one of this guys. He was Sneed a lot who averages 14.5 points and he finished with only 8. Are people honestly this stubborn about admitting Lewis does some good things? It’s insane how anybody can watch that Kansas State game and not think Lewis was huge for us. Lewis, Young and Nixon won us that game.
Lewis was great Saturday. Got lost a couple times on defense (so did others) but was locked in otherwise
Remember when the 21 point lead against KState shrunk to 4 points with under 10 to go in the 2nd half? I do. Bolton was taken out with 7:50 left, and the lineup I posted was the one that was in there the rest of the game, up until the last 20 seconds when Bolton was put back in for FT shooting.
That lineup played solid D, rebounded took care of the ball and ran offense.
