I accept that I may have said that but certain things could or should alter one's conclusion so if we win most of our remaining games and got the the MAC Finals given the injuries I'd say that this kind of a result would be acceptable..

Injuries to reserves that hadn’t done that much?

Okay say we had no injuries and had won some of those games, we still wouldn't be getting an NIT invite. We killed any chance of that in Charleston. We have 1 win vs. the Top 100, and 0 vs. the Top 50.

If you have depth, and somebody is stinking it up, you can effectively substitute. Silly to say it has nothing to do with depth. Yeah right, subbing Ish for Thompson is really going to take us to that next level. It would win close games where we subbed Josh and he wasn't playing well or where we had to play Josh/Nehls more minutes than we wanted to.

If we had played at peak all year and were top 50 where we were briefly rated in some rating systems, maybe.

Oddly that is what everyone was saying before a losing streak.
Really "everyone", so in your mind a predicted 12-6 record was a two seed. No not literally everyone. If were ranked in the AP top 25 you would be disagreeing. I'll grant that.

The only thing we know is we lost very close games, and were missing players better than those we played for about 20-30 minutes in those games. Is that worth a basket? Do you really disagree?
Would that be an assumption?

Whit doesn’t use the bench to motivate enough as it is with a full roster. So I don’t buy that. This isn't about some kind of motivational ploy, it is about having an option if somebody is playing poorly or can't match up. It's just irrational to say depth doesn't count. Maybe not in some given game, but over a stretch of close games?

Would that be an assumption? Maybe, maybe not. Had all the starters done their jobs the bench wouldn’t matter so much.

I guess it doesn’t matter and we’ll see how we do with everyone back.

Would that be an assumption? Really because I certainly don't think Ish is any better than Thompson, especially at the point.

Really because I certainly don't think Ish is any better than Thompson, especially at the point. Even if I agree, I want two good guards on the bench. One may be a better matchup, one could be on his game more than the other. We are talking a very small difference in guard play required in 3 losses. The unfortunate thing with Ish is he had a breakout game where he played better than Josh has. He has more upside, Josh has been consistent. Better two than one.
