It honestly depends. Normally, you’re probably rotating Keaton more than Bam. There is a rotation where all 3 are on the court.
I don't see all 3 on the court except maybe for short stints against smaller teams, maybe. We need to maximize our size advantage not minimize it, IMO.

The team has a good shot of entering January being 11-2. The remaining games for this month is about taking care of business.

If we play like we did against Tn, but rebound and like we did against AL but hit free throws we win.

To be fair to Michigan (a sentence I hope to never write again), the league was just going by winning percentage because what else were they supposed to do... The most fair thing in my mind would've been to extrapolate their winning percentage (.824) over their three remaining games which would have given them 16.472 win and 3.528 losses (which still puts them in first place, unfortunately).

Now what I think we ALL would argue is that just 1 loss in those 3 games gives them the exact winning percentage as we had, which makes it feel very stupid to use winning percentage as the metric when there wasn't an even amount of games.
Given the optics of (A) how the conference changed the football rules on the fly to get the championship game they wanted and (B) us utterly dominating Michigan in Ann Arbor without Ayo, crowning co-champions and citing the unusual circumstances was such a no-brainer. And it wasn’t like we ONLY had this barely lower winning percentage … we’d played three more games than them to the point where we would both be considered “tied for first” in a games back ranking, at least until they’d played their remaining games. Since they never did, declaring it a tie was just too obvious for ole Kevin to figure out.

Maybe we can get an extra 5 minutes on how he invented such a jack wagon of a character in Sling Blade! I like the dude btw… even if he is from the*uckeye state🙂
actually he will go into the cinematic masterpiece called "crank" that he made with Jason Statham and then jelly roll will appear like a jack in the box to talk about how he sold crank.

then Jake Davis nails a corner 3 as we go up 14

I like how you're thinking, but let's focus on going 1-0 tonight, and the next game, and the next, etc. ;)

Yeah….I don’t see that happening considering Bam is averaging like 36 minutes a game(P4 games)
Boswell's defense lately has been subpar when BIG defensive POY was preseason talk.He must be a leader and def. stopper on that end of the court.Maybe less minutes would help in that regard?Overall KB has been very good.

"lately has been subpar." you can't just use quote marks and make up the wording....

Fixed, thanks for the help

Gillespie shot 6-20 and UConn's guards are amazing and we held them in check... including, take into account Ball made a 3 while falling over and Smith heaved a prayer (but Jake was guarding him anyhow)... defending their guards certainly didn't lose us that game, our 3pt shooting did

His claim is just obviously false, is all
 
#125      
They were both really good

Unsure how much the shoulder effected him, KB is tough kid though... calling him 'subpar defender lately' is laughable, sorry

EDIT: fixed to appease @PleaseMakeABowlGame
You literally missed the second half of the sentence.

…Subpar when BIG DPOY was preseason talk.”

Subpar compared to expectations is very fair.
