3 guys in double figures in the first half. It's like Hoiball has returned to Hilton, except it includes defense this time.

Jones should not be getting minutes over him and if does that's a mistake.
What's he averaging right now, a foul every 15 seconds? I don't think worrying about minutes is a thing yet with that foul rate.

It's not that....you'll find a chance to specificallly rip him at any given moment no matter what anyone else does and it's not only weird but bull ****.

There's no ******** about it.

Most of the time the dude brings nothing of tangible value to the table. He's not a good rebounder. He has no offensive skills. The dude can't make a ******* free throw to save his life.

Are you one of those guys who wants to give everyone a participation award? Why do we award Jones minutes when his output doesn't warrant it? On last year's team we needed some minutes. But now, unless foul trouble necessitates, we don't. So many guys who are more athletic, versatile, and don't completely **** up our offense.

But hey, if his hurts your feelings grab a tissue.

It's game 1. You can see the potential just watching him run the court. Give him big minutes now when it doesn't hurt us as it speeds up his development. Giving BRE those minutes is a waste. BRE is what he always has been, a talentless big who gives effort, plays good 1 on 1 post D, and is an offensive black hole. It's all he will ever be.

I get the competition isn't great but the guys look like they've played together for a year already. They look smooth and in sync together.
Last season the halftime score would have been like 30-18. Having shooters is fun.

Not dogging Omaha, but where's his minutes going to come? He's battling King, Milan, Jones, and Watson for minutes from what I can see.
This should help him become better. The cream will eventually rise to the top.

We look like those great Baylor teams with like 7 dudes that are 6-8 plus and athletic as hell.

It may only be an exhibition game but @ZRF is already in midseason complaining form and you love to see it.

Someone has reading comprehension issues.

Loved verything about the half but BREs minutes, which were way too much. It worries me the coaches will reward his effort with minutes the talent doesn't justify. We saw it last year. This year there is waaayyyy too much talent to waste then again.

It has nothing to do with anyone's playing time. If he doesn't get the minutes because someone's better, flit's fine.

It's your obsessing last year over how bad he is like you enjoy his failures. You're at it again. It's pretty ****** up.

Lay the hell off specific players, especially game one. It's not a good look. It also ignores all of bre intangibles he brings to the team.

You hear from every player interviewed about how bre raises everyone's level in practices and those am soccer field sessions. He's an essential part of the team.
