Next up: Northern Colorado

The Phyfe turnovers were killers today. I'm not sure what else AJ and Spencer can do other than hit him in the hands.

He catches those and he gets 30 and we win by double digits.

We're a pretty good offensive team. Just little stuff to clean up and once AJ gets going, look out!

That hype video is real...

Anyone know if that video exists on the interwebs somewhere? That was awesome.

Did not see today’s game. Green’s 7-21 looks ugly in the box score, but only 1 TO playing 40 minutes is a huge positive. Was he primarily bringing the ball up or was it a split with Spencer?

He was ball handling for most of it, though it might've been more split with Spencer towards the end when it was clear Haldeman was hot and Green was not.

I like it when we feed Phyfe. That seemed to work...let's do more of that

He had a favorable matchup today. Austin won't always look that dominant, but I'm glad he was able to today.

it seems like Brown and Berhow should get the ball a little more when they’re playing. Noah should get some more minutes.

I don't understand the lineup today. 4 guys played 40+ minutes, Trae played 35, Pickford 17, then Betz, Dahl, Kimmons played 2-3 each. The guys had to be feeling it late in the game. I can't understand why some guys barely/didn't play.

This has been a recent trend for Jake but it wasn't always like this. I remember the days when depth was a real strength for us and we were going 10 deep with hockey style "line changes".
Something has changed and Jake is no longer confident that his bench guys can be trusted late in a close game.

Or even in the whole of the second half

Which needs to change. Having that same lineup for an entire half if going to bite us. I really don't understand why Pickford doesn't get more of those 2nd half mins, not to mention the 3 frosh and Dahl. We should have 9-10 guys getting 10-15+ every game. I don't think resting the starters a few extra mins throughout the 2nd half is going to derail our game flow (which honestly seems to derail anyway at some point in those first 10 mins of the 2nd).

I hated the second half rotation or really lack there-of but Jake has largely done that for the last several years. He gets the lineup he likes and unless fouls force him to do something, he won't sub. I don't get it and I think it hurts our performance down the stretch.

I can understand it the last 6-8, maybe 10 minutes, but basically the entire half is just crazy.

That’s something he picked up from Mac. Run your starters in to the ground and burn them out for the end of the year. If anything, Jake has less excuse than Mac did because Jake’s teams are more talented on the whole. It seems like every game so far has had 3-4 guys playing 35 minutes plus. That needs to lower.

[panther-state]

Would love to see someone in the media ask him about it, just to see if he'll divulge his reasoning.

I’ve been on record of saying how much I hate how he doesn’t sub but I’m mostly satisfied with his response to it. I still think you can play guys up to the 8 min mark before you tighten up so much. I’d argue you could take it to the 4-6 min mark before you don’t sub, but that’s not gonna happen.
