I'll keep taking wins no matter how they get them but the offense has got to be figured out.  Guessing Wonders sat because of Drake's athleticism but man they could have used some points in the first half.  Can't rely on Domask going Superman every night to bail out the rest of the team.

If there’s equality in fair competition, Trent Browns minutes should be there for the taking. Great kid and teammate, but his play does not justify his starting spot or minutes played. 

We desperately need another reliable scorer.

Absolutely thrilled with this win though. Battled through bad shooting to get the huge W.

Not sure you've noticed, but Brown isn't playing much anymore. Since Rupert started starting, Brown hasn't played 20 minutes in a game. He is probably only averaging like 15 min a game for the last 7 games.

 

That's still about 15 more minutes than Hornecker or Wonders are getting.

I think Troys current role and minutes played are just about right now that Mullins has canned the silly notion of force-fitting him into a 5. He’s got good size/strength, is a fundamentally good defender, and is sneakily more athletic than people give him credit for.

To me, the more obvious holes are Brown and, to a lesser extent, Newton. Definitely need more consistent production from those two seniors quickly, or Wonders and Ferguson should without a doubt be eating into their minutes. They already should be, imo.

I do believe the injuries to Muila and Ebube forced Mullins to force fit Troy into the 5 spot. 

 

Um, no.  It didn't.  He still had a healthy Rupert and Hornecker, both of whom should've been playing the 5 instead of D'Amico.

why is this team so offensively challenged ?

this is BM 4th year in.  we have 1 consistent scoring threat.  a 2nd that is hot or cold and that is it.  very frustrating and highly questionable.

it is hard to imagine that in the era of the transfer portal we cannot obtain a guard that can score the basketball.  Has J Newton had a game of 10 or more all year ?
