    The problem will come defensively if we play man.
    Just a hunch but I think we're about to see more zone (not just 1-3-1). With the depth being as thin as it is, Mack's hand is pretty much forced to play more zone.
    White sheets. Yellow tape. Closed case. Zip 'em up.

    More minutes? He doesn't get any right now so any minutes at all would be an increase. I still can't see him playing more than 5 minutes a game... if he's playing more than that then something is really going wrong or we are in extreme foul trouble.

    I agree.

    My only concern is what will happen with the rebounding out of the zone.

    One of the main reasons we have been very effective defensively is that we eliminate second chances.

    As we saw in the UC game it is much harder to do that out of the zone.

    I'm very curious to see how the game is played this evening.

    Situation reminds me a little of when we used Landon Amos to go out there and spell the guys and play hard defense for a few minutes a game.
