Who starts now?

I know it's probably matchup based, but I really liked the way we played the second half & think we would have lost if Haas played much more than he did. I never understand why we bring him away from the basket. I'd rather let whoever he is guarding shoot the 3 & take our chances.

Biggie, Edwards, Edwards, Mathias & Kline is probably our best lineup. Love PJ but he couldn't guard Ferrell & if CMP didn't make the lineup changes, we probably lose by 20 today.

Not every team is like Notre Dame so I don't think there will be any changes.

Who cares. ??? And what difference does it make to anyone except the pre game announcers???

I think you'll still see them play next to each other but not as often.

I really think Haas might be more effective if he only plays 15-20 minutes a game but goes 100% for every minute and doesn't have to worry about fouls as much. 10 to 15 minutes subbing for Biggie at the 5 and another 5-10 alongside him if the matchup works.

When he plays 25+ minutes a game he's gassed and ineffective in the second half. I think he would be better (especially rebounding) if he were fresher and not worried about fouls as much.

Exactly. It's like people think that you can extrapolate the results of one game across the entire season. Haas had a bad game today. That doesn't mean he won't be effective ever again. Furthermore, the starting lineup doesn't need to have our five best players in it every game anyway. I think the goal for each game is for CMP to figure out our most effective lineup for that game and keep it on the floor as much as possible.
