[QUOTE="Deleted member 8632, post: 1175967"] I'm not going to defend Groce as an x's and o's guy, but if you think his lack of coaching ability trumps the injuries your crazy. When Thorne went down, this year was over. You cannot consistently lose the rebounding battle by 15-20 a game and expect to win. That's not JG, MF or MM fault. It is what it is. We have to shoot a 10-15% higher field goal percentage than our opponent and win the turnover battle just to overcome the rebounding inefficiency. It's really that simple. Finke is at the 5 due to necessity and Morgan is a soft, but that's the options right now. The lineup is a mess.....because of injuries. Just having Thorne healthy would change the entire dynamic of what happens on the floor. You create match up nightmares. MH can now play the 3, MF can now play the stretch 4. What happened in the ISU game? In it til Thorne went down. Why? Match ups. We have issues right now....injury issues. [/QUOTE]
