[QUOTE="PtownIllini8, post: 1356833, member: 646012"] Agree with your post, and I would add that besides the 3 freshmen guards, plus our 10th man Ebo, we have 2 sophomores who played basically 1/2 a year or actually 1/2 year in Kipper's case, plus a junior in AJ who played very little in 2 prior years. That's 6 of 9 players in our rotation, or 7 of 10 including Ebo, who have very little to no prior college experience. Now add to those facts that all of us a running a new system. People expecting everything to run smoothly should take a deep breath. This team will be tough to beat in another 4-6 weeks. Not only will that be the case because of the learning curve, but because we play 9 guys at least 17 minutes/game and no other B1G has more than 7 guys playing 17 minutes. Our fatigue factor should be lower than other teams as the schedule grinds forward. [/QUOTE]
