Lineup Changes

Re: Lineup Changes

Carlton Reed will be back and recognized with Travis before the game.

That's awesome. He needs to be honored just as much. Almost wish we could blow out UE and be able to have Carlton suit up and get in, even if he has to stay in a corner.

Re: Lineup Changes

I don't get it, Jake obviously feels that Lucas gives them a better chance to win than Jordan does. If he didn't, why would Jordan ride the pine when the game was on the line (last 10-15 minutes regulation, and overtime) against ILState?

I feel like Jake is just thinking that any day now he (JE) is going to not travel, or not bobble 9 out of 10 passes, or not miss wide open game winning lay ups, or not clank two free throws while the game is on the line, or not be just crossing half court when the Siena Saints are scoring only to turn around and have it happen again 30 seconds later. Yet, every game, it never changes. I like Jordan, he has shown signs of promise all year, I hope he is gearing up for what will be a phenominal senior year for him. I just think it is time to let Lucas get the start. He has earned it, in my opinion.

This horse was dead a long time ago, and if you liked Jordan as you say, you would not be so obsessed with this topic. Give it up.

Lucas brings an energy off the bench that can't be matched. Yes, Lucas could start that game with that energy, but a lot of players do. Lucas has the great ability to keep that energy in him on the bench the first couple minutes of the game, come in just as people are starting to lose their first wind and exploit it. I like having him come off the bench. That is just my opinion though

Good stuff. He is the type of pain in the butt that is most effective off the bench, IMO.

Not only that, we have had consistent success this year getting the ball down low to Jordan early in the game.

I've said it before about him and I'll say it again. He doesn't have a ton of basketball talent, but he is a damn good player. A team won't win many games with a team full of Lucas's, but they won't many games without players like Lucas
