Reminds me of Lute bringing Jason Terry off the bench.

But Lute generally had a better bench than Miller anyway.

It's a 1-and done era problem. I think Duke gave exactly zero minutes to their bench the 2nd half of a recent game lol.

Roxy Bernstein: "Make him play with a handicap in the second half."

Please stop baiting the refs to get involved.

True, when Lute had long time NBAers Sean Rooks and Jud Buechler on the bench as gumbies, then you have to realize that the game was a lot different then.

umm, I don't think the strategy to stop Ayton is put a 6'3'' guard on him lol

That last dunk by Ayton actually sounded nonchalant.

Never seen such a casual dunk.

I know it’s only Wazzu but I’ve got this feeling that we’re turning a corner here and really progressing...of course having Rawle back is HUGE! Seriously though....can’t wait to see us at UW.

Lute's bench was often better than other teams starters.

Don't they play 100% zone? I think UW will be a close game.

Yes, and it's a Jim Boeheim matchup zone. (Huskies new HC Mike Hopkins played for him at Syracuse.)

Arizona has never done well against that.

Yep. And that's why he's a liability against really good opponents. If he can't take an open lane and finish with a layup, then what? No excuse for him not going quick to the rim with a lay in.

Don't ya just know we'll come out cold and shoot in the high 40%, just to keep it interesting. And remember,this game isn't over yet, lol.

PJC scared of ghost defenders now? Nobody was within 3 steps of him... It looked like the easiest layup from a terrible defensive lapse, and he didn't make them pay..
