I think they like bringing LW and CL off the bench. So I would say No.
It’s often our biggest adjustment.

I’d be surprised if Lard started. Jacobson had a good game at TCU and starting Lard easily could mean he’s sitting when needed later.

On merit we could try Wigginton for THT, or by position for Haliburton.

True, but Prohm was on record a month ago that he wanted to get Lindell back into the starting line-up and the team is best with Lard contributing. The team has come out slow the past few games, I could see the staff being open to changing up the line up. He refers to the top 7 as starters thus switching them to try new combinations shouldn't be off the table as an option.

I don't know that he changes the line-up tonight with the short turn around, but if there is similar lull to start the game before LW comes in Saturdays game could be the time a change occurs.

I’d disagree. It never seems to get completely full, but I can remember games against Oklahoma state, Texas, and TCU this year that had a nearly full student section. I sat 2nd row from the top against Oklahoma state this year.
Those were all Saturday games. The middle of the week games have been worse.

I'm feeling a LW start. This is based on how he defended Kendric Davis Saturday. Hedged way out right, forcing Davis left. He (Davis) ended up only playing 12 minutes, 1-5 from the field, 2 points, after going off for career high 22 in 29 minutes when they played at TCU. A sign LW took some scouting to heart.

That was a positive from the loss. Another was, even thought TCU had 16 offensive rebounds, the Cyclones had 13 themselves. (FYI, Cyclones out-rebounded OU last time, both Offensive and total.)

Lard keeps coming off the bench. It would be bad if he picked up a couple quick fouls and I think he provides a real energy boost off the bench.

I agree, I was just responding to a poster that said the student section only gets full for Iowa and Kansas games. I'd like to think students will show up tonight and provide a great environment, but I am skeptical that happens.

I'm naturally on the optimistic side, so excuse me once, but has this been the worst season at Hilton that you can remember? Even in down years, we've had some upsets and good crowds. This season has been unspectacular to say the least. Even thrashing KU wasn't as fun as it usually is. I just don't remember any Magic moments. The crowds have been dead and the play uninspiring. Hopefully we can start a run and bring it when we close with TT.


Heaven help me NOOOOoooo the worst seasons inside Hilton were in the 1970's prior to Johnny Orr coming in 1979....they were the Ken Trickey and Lynn Nance Years of irrelevancy in mens basketball....

Count me in the group that wants to see wigginton get the start over Haliburton tonight. Love tyrese, but having both him and babb in there in the first 5 minutes can really put us in a hole offensively. Lately, babb and hali combine to be one adequate offensive player. So its essentially 4 on 5 when we're on offense.
