We will need more offensive help from the bench. I am thinking/hoping it will be Fitz.

That's a good question...and at the risk of belaboring a point made in a previous post...but how can anybody think this team is as talented as our 2002 team when you look at the benches?

It would be nice to have Novak coming off the bench for this team.

Trend will be huge.

why isn't blackledge on the list? I think he could have an impactful game if he gets some stick um on his hands. Also, I think fitz has the biggest impact on the game in a negative fashion. i'm very down on his play of late. hope i'm wrong but he's lost out there.

Done.

All 3 of the guards need to hit the 3's and spread the floor and get the Lopez boys out away from the basket.

It is time for Fitz to end the funk. He needs to step up and he needs to do it now.

Trevor's the guy that can secure some space and lay a body on the Lopez twins.

is trevor healthy though?

YoungMUFan4 · « **Reply #10 on:** March 21, 2008, 11:21:15 AM »

Dwight Burke will be a stud off the bench

RawdogDX · « **Reply #11 on:** March 21, 2008, 11:26:27 AM »

WHAT? No Mbakwe?

I hate Cubillan's antics, but he could be the one guy Stanford can't handle. I could see him forcing some turnovers and (hopefully) hitting a couple of threes.

drewm88 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 21, 2008, 11:58:34 AM »

I agree with ecompt. A few threes, nonstop pressure on their subpar guards, maybe a shimmy or 2. Can't wait!

MUFanInGreenBay · « **Reply #14 on:** March 21, 2008, 12:11:46 PM »

I know there's rumors going around that Trevor's hurt on the other board? For anybody at the game yesterday, did he look injured to you? Was he participating in warmups and stuff like that?

1990Warrior · « **Reply #15 on:** March 21, 2008, 12:35:32 PM »

I was thinking mostly offense when I made the poll but updated it again.

IAmMarquette · « **Reply #16 on:** March 21, 2008, 12:58:37 PM »

Dwight Burke. He played some strong D on Hibbert a few weeks ago--moved him out of the lane, kept him away from the hoop long enough for the double team. He can do the same against B. Lopez.

Mayor McCheese · « **Reply #17 on:** March 21, 2008, 02:45:00 PM »

I truly think the key to winning in this game is if Fitz and Cube's hits some threes, if we get them rolling, and one of them score 10+ points, we will win this game I feel... plus Cubillan needs to get his dance on "One Shining Moment"

77ncaachamps · « **Reply #18 on:** March 21, 2008, 02:47:35 PM »

Gotta be Fitz.

He's a big threat from three land and he's tall enough to defend.

TallTitan34 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 21, 2008, 03:12:11 PM »

I also went with Burke. Quite frankly I trust him more than Ooze right now. Feel free to prove me wrong Ooze

Moonboots · « **Reply #20 on:** March 21, 2008, 03:43:39 PM »

WHAT?! No Scotty?! *cough* Nevermind... I'll say Cubillan.

mcnealfan1 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 21, 2008, 04:18:49 PM »

I don't know... if I want any player on our bench to knock down a big shot... well let's just say I wouldn't take Fitzgerald. At least not this season.

mcnealfan1 · « **Reply #23 on:** March 21, 2008, 04:33:00 PM »

i would take acker or scott

Daniel · « **Reply #24 on:** March 21, 2008, 04:44:06 PM »

Anyone who can hit a 3, I am for him. If it's Scott, great; Cubie, super, Acker - ok then, Fitz - he's overdue fro a breakout game. We need someone to hot outside shots a lot. And if can get at least of of the goants in foul trouble that would help.

I think we just throw the ball real high in the air towards the basket when we are far away from anyone, and so that by the time anyone can touch it it's on the way down and pray for some goaltending calls - LOL - just kidding......haha
