Duncan Robinson is certainly struggling - without Caris, opposing teams are really taking him out of the game, and with a short bench, he doesn't have the fresh legs to get the right lift. I'd start Dawkins the next game - switch things up - maybe Duncan off the bench finds more space.
Same for Doyle - Donnal has struggled recently - Doyle has played with a lot more energy and setting better screens - shake it up
Very frustrated with this Levert situation - our head coach has pretty much said it's up to him when he plays - that was last week - he has since had a few practices - I am optimistic he returns in a reserve role for the next game then full-time for Purdue, but we thought this a week ago, heck two weeks ago - with Caris, this team at best slips into the tourney and likely goes out the first game - with him, they can win a few games.
It hurts that Chatman and Wilson are non-factors until we're down 25 points - this team is tired - Caris will help if he comes back, but this team will still be tired.
You went from thoughts of being 12 deep to barely 8 deep
The giveaway today had Levert and Spike on it - yeah - that about summed up today's game.
With 7 B10 games left, at worst you have to go 3-4 - if Levert is back 4-3 is likely.
Luckily there's a few ineligible teams this year (Louisville and SMU off the top of my head) - hopefully there's a soft bubble - 20 wins probably gets you in.
Real bummer that for the third year in a row we're dealing with major issues
2014 - Mitch
2015- Levert and Walton
2016 - Levert, Spike and Walton
