I still don't think MAW is a natural PG, he has been good but SG is his more natural position. I expect Saunders to take over the role at some point and MAW to move to SG.

It seems like we were using Jarron at PG quite a bit last not and even a fair amount of the Cronin offense from last year (give Jarron the ball and get out of the way).

We really only used that the last 4 or so min to close out the game. Not really much at all besides that. I think when we're up that much with a few minutes left it's not a bad idea to put it in his hands.

We rose 8 spots in NET with last night's win from 89 to 81.

UConn dropped 16 spots from 63 to 79.

If you’re a skilled big coming out of high school, you have to see what this staff is doing with Chris Vogt and what they have turned him in to. I would think that would help recruiting.

Also diarra gave us solid energy again. He also did a couple weird things. But I don’t mind him in that role. Come in for 4 minutes, give us everything he has.

i like him playing the 4 a lot more than the 5. gives tre some rest. he's gotta learn to pass though, if it goes to him on offense the possession is ending with him shooting or turning it over.

Is Davenport hurt or was he a healthy DNP for the past few games?

I agree with him at the 4. He works well with jay.

i think as the rotation got worked out he kinda got left out.

I think Brannen has settled into a rotation. Sorolla has been getting 10-12 and Diara 6-8. Davenport 0 lately and Harvey has only been getting 3 or less for about the last 5 games. McNeal is looking like about a 15 minute guy.

Obviously fouls will adjust the minutes but I like the adjustments made after the Colgate game so far.
