Team has a lot of talent, our 41 looked like the Mavs No. 41 tonight, and Ludwig has no business being on the court...EVER.. Him starting games is baffling to me

Stringer is injured that's why. He doesn't play that many minutes I wouldn't worry about it.

Yup. Hamilton has been a beast for us this year--defensively just as much on O.

I know. If Trent wouldn't play him I bet we'd be 6-0 in our last 6 games.

You know its weird watching Hamilton vs Marquette the other night I said damn he looks like Dirk a little bit. Especially towards the end of the game with the lights out shooting

he's winning me back I suppose. He hasn't been undressed in a second half since the USA game (well against UCI we had a pathetic second half but hung on). Still don't like the 5 man substitutions but he didn't do it during the Marquette game... Glad the last few games he's looked like he actually gives 2 shits because he looked pretty dejected for a while

He coached his arse off vs Marquette.

I'll give this to Trent. When you have 10 players of almost all equal talent, it's probably hard as frick to find a winning 5. I still don't think we've had the same 5 guys finish a game yet. He brought in a helluva class this year though and Hamilton was a true diamond in the rough. If Isaac would start over Ludwig that would be 4 completely new starters from last year's team.

I think 9-7 & a tournament bid is plausible. Marquette would likely be the 3rd best team in the sec this year.

frickin hope so. A win over UVA would go a long way in solidifying that.

I don't want to say we'd suck without Hamilton, because I'm not sure if that's true or not.

But God damn, he's so consistent and so important to us on both ends of the court. And the amazing thing is, it's pretty easy for his valuable play to go unnoticed to the untrained eye.

He's a fabulous addition to this team. Frankly, he's our best player.

He did it more than once. The first when we were down 13-0.

I'd have to agree. Guy is solid on many levels. Very fundamental, and the one you give the ball, to seal a game(free throws).

that doesn't make him good. But he's not as awful as people make him out.

He's been a valuable(?) role player since his freshman year. But not necessarily as a 3. He makes the hustle plays b/c that's what his talent equates to on this team. Idk why TJ prefers to start him for the time, though.

I think he can be a decent ball player if he's not asked to do too much, he is a decent 7th or 8th man off the bench if we ever have foul trouble or something like that. Him starting right now is just a filler while Andre is sidelined, since he is on his way back I doubt he'll be starting much if ever here.

I like Storm off the bench, for whatever reason.
