In reply to: El Duque 's message, "I think Damian, Bill and BJ start regardless because they are the best three players we have. TJ seems to be a given now, so the question is Peggau vs. Johnson." on Monday, November 15, 03:03:41pm

Robert Morris is our next opponent. They will likely start 3 guards and 2 forwards. We already have a decisive edge underneath the basket. We outrebounded them 51-36 last year and they had Robinson & Green. This year's team was out outrebounded by a smallish McGill team (a Canadian D-2 equivalent). The key will be containing Abraham and you need a guard with quickness to do that.
I would start TJ at the point and put him on Jones, SJ on Abraham and BJ, Clark and Saunder underneath. The amount of time the bench gets will be directly related to the score, ensuing matchups and foul situation.

if it is ever a given, it will still be a rotation of sorts. Until it is a given, I believe we need to matchup defensively first. We have offense with all these guys, defense will win us some games this year, esp on the road. (NT) -- Seen on Miltenberger St, Monday, November 15, 03:46:10pm
- Defense is exactly why I propose this lineup. -- TMH, Monday, November 15, 05:04:01pm
I would certainly not be surprised if your and WashPa Rick are correct. I simply suggested that Peggau instead of Johnson might be an alternative. I like Johnson a lot, and really thought he was on the verge of cracking the starting lineup last year. PS - good scouting report. Are you going to the game Friday?

- Sorry El Duque but no. I live much, much closer to you than Pittsburgh. -- TMH, Monday, November 15, 05:06:08pm
  - Are you going to the Penn State game? I just ordered my tickets. It was up in the air to me because of work, but the work issue is now happening the week before Christmas (joy of joys). (NT) -- El Duque, Monday, November 15, 05:22:44pm
    - I'm considering it but my wife doesn't want to go and I prefer not to drive out there myself. Are you interested in a carpool? (NT) -- TMH, Monday, November 15, 05:32:45pm
      - I can get back to you in a couple days. Will depend on a couple other friends going or not. (NT) -- El Duque, Monday, November 15, 05:39:48pm
        Please do!! (NT) -- TMH, Tuesday, November 16, 02:21:29pm
