No, it has to do with having better depth last year. We could bring Jarell/Shavon, Stringer, Morgan, Tim, and Hammink off the bench. That isn't exactly Kentucky's bench, but it's 10x better then what we have now.

Three players who could provide depth this year, Hammink, Hickey, and another forward, were run off by Jones.

Bridge got abused on the glass, had a bad rotation, and took a bad under the basket shot in about a minute of play. He did not play well. I will say this, Bridge, Epps, and Elbert all know how to box out. Malone does to. Not sure why Martin and Mickey don't do it.

If you are going to criticize the bench for bad play, then they have to play first. The alternative isn't playing your best 5 the whole game. That won't win many games and isn't doing the team any good.

Last year at least Jones started the year subbing more players, but quickly went to a 7 man rotation. Hammink only played late in the year when someone got hurt. Even then his playing time was sporadic.

Wasn't Coleman so tired towards the end of one overtime game that he was lying down on the ground by the bench? Dude looked dead.
