If we're unwilling to make certain sacrifices to land a "good fit" like Blackwell, how much do you think we're willing to sacrifice to bring aboard someone we're less excited about?
We benched a pro euro PG so we could put the ball in Wagler's hands and play through him. Incoming freshmen must be licking their lips, knowing you can earn your minutes and this staff readily rewards performance and ability.
Plus Stirtz was in foul trouble in our last meeting. Might not be the case this time around, so game could have an entirely different feel for both teams.
It's almost like commentators who haven't watched us this year aren't aware of how much injuries disrupted our lineups throughout the season. So we've rarely been at 100%. But now? When it matters the most?
If we can string together some offensive rebounds to force Houston into some long defensive possessions, it could take a toll on their starters. I don't think they have the depth to hang with us, if we are winning the rebounding battle.
