Can someone just tell me why Buzz for the first time at Marwuette started an completely inexpierenced lineup? I know how he stresses the five toughest guys, but come on, DJ? And Erik in there along with two frosh? I'm guessing these are the guys who had a good week in practice and are proving themselves. Also, given the fact were not playing Duke, is most likely the cause for the flexible lineup. It wad just one of those moments where I had to look twice because Buzz, for the first time threw a major curveball.
"Buzz is real big on the players who play the hardest in practice are the guys who get to play in the game, and he rewards them by starting them," Butler said. "This week in practice that group — including me — we beat the other team pretty badly. Before the game, when he called those five names, there were a lot of surprised faces."

Other than Jimmy & DJO, how experienced is the rest of the roster?
In any case, you can bet that Buzz has everyone's attention now.

May not answer the question, but it does provide some insight.
