Statement win on Thursday?

But take out one player for us (Jake) and we might be en route to the worst 3-point performance since Dr. Naismith first put the red, white and blue ball through a peach basket!

Also, very true.

Wait... Dr. James Naismith was on the Harlem Globetrotters?

Nope....played for the ABA.

I'd classify the game against X as a must win at this point if we want a good shot at making the NCAA.  However, I'd be really surprised if we won that game.  Only hope is that Buzz continues on with shortened rotation, and generally is playing Mayo, Jake (or JJJ/Burton) with Jamil and Ox for 30+ per game...

Since it appears Derrick is going to get 30 a game, this is what I think we need to be our best:

Jake 15-20 minutes
Mayo 28 minutes
JJJ 15-18 minutes
Burton 15 minutes
Jamil 25-30 minutes
Gardner - 35 minutes

Nobody else should see action other than for spot duty - 2-5 minutes per game - Otule and Juan.

I agree with this generally, although I would take 10 minutes each from Derick and Jake and spread them to JJJ and Deonte
