We cannot only have 8 players playing. That is a killer.

A lot of teams shorten their bench to 8 or 9 players during conference season. Thats how it always happens.

It appears the eight guys playing or the guys that have earned the minutes. For whatever reason Randell wasn't ready to play. I'd rather Raymone and Mbamalou have those minutes, those are the guys leading this program into the future. The same with Javon. We know what Courtney and Cobly brought, let's see what these guys can do.

_ why did our bench get a tech? _

Coach Nikita Johnson got a tech for telling a ref to call it both ways. Coach Marlin was warned he would get one if he did not get in the coaching box during a timeout (ref does not know rule does not apply at that time I guess). Daigle did not play as he had not practiced all week due to problems with his diabetes. If he practices tomorrow, he will likely play Saturday. Bureau seems to have problems on the road. Two good games last weekend and only 3 pts tonight. Good to see young guys like Mitchell and Thomas have good games.

45 of our 65 points came from J.J., Javan,Bryant and Raymone. Not a bad future. Just hard to depend on 2 freshman and 2 sophmores to do that night after night. Good job guys!

No doubt. But I think we can agree. And you as a coach. If these are the guys that are bringing their lunch pale to practice every day, then they should get the lion's share of the minutes. This is a new coach we are going to go through some growing pains, I would just rather the young guys learn from it.

(Also, it was revealed in post game that Randell did not practice this week because of his diabetes)

Hope Randell is feeling better for ALR. An extra guard cant hurt.
