Hopefully not so deep that a bottle rocket gets lodged in there.

Maybe it's just me, but being deep doesn't jump out as the best thing.

What 'deep' means to me in that Cincy players are either A.) Not conditioned enough to play 37-38 minutes or B.) The talent gap between the starters and the bench isn't that great.

If I were a college coach, the best four would be playing 37 minutes a game, the center would be playing 30 minutes.

These players should be able to handle those minutes.

I think Cincy likes to shoot quickly. They will take the first open shot instead of passing the ball around for 30 seconds. That is a better pace for MU. MU needs to stop turning the ball over.

Sure. But having a deep team is not a negative. MU would have a pretty darn deep team if it weren't for two injuries. Probably deeper than Cincy.
