[QUOTE="alaskaillini, post: 1263469, member: 531679"] There are a lot of reason's Groce could have held off playing TJL earlier. Knowledge or lack thereof of offensive and defensive schemes, consistency in practice, Tracy's generally exceptional play in non-conference, leadership roles on team, mental readiness, matchups to opposing starters and bench players, comfort level on the road versus at home, chemistry, etc. It is Groce's job that is on the line and he knows his players better than anyone on this board, so I think you could assume that he has considered the issues and used his best judgment. Izzo may be playing freshmen early this year, but Izzo is secure in his job. If we were 8-8 (2-2) right now because Groce played freshman a lot of minutes early in the season, how much more comfortable would the fan base be with Groce? [/QUOTE]
