Arkansas Pre-Game Presser (Bradshaw/Mitchell/Musselman)

I'm good with Edwards starting. If he's having a good game, then let him play. If he's not, put other guys in. Problem is that Cal plays him starter minutes even when he's giving us nothing.

Right now Edwards is a 10 min per game sub to me. That's it until he shows more in the 10 minutes he gets. He's an 8pt 5 rebound bench player.

Haven't those numbers dropped since SEC play started?
 
Mitchell is a smart kid. I really liked his comments about what they recognize as issues to be corrected. His leadership helps us. If we execute tomorrow and play more physical, I think we will be fine. Obviously gotta shoot better.
 
That will help.
It's just so hard to predict these road games. SC had one of their best players out and didn't matter at all. I think it comes down to mental toughness more than anything for this team on the road. Hopefully it gets better as we go along. And hopefully we get Adou back this game and that helps (both mental and physical toughness).

I think at USCjr. He played 32 minutes and had 2 pts, 2 rb nit good numbers. You would think a 6'9 guy would get more than 2 rb by just being there and getting a"bounce" rb once in a while.
Actually, he played 23 minutes but even that is too many for what he is currently giving us. Rather see him at 15, or less, depending on the game and how he's playing. Let him earn his time.

I think that was just because the game was already over and Cal wanted to give him extended run in an otherwise meaningless finish. At least I hope that's it. Hope Adou starts today!

I would like Thiero starting in his spot too but not sure about today. He hasn't played in weeks and has only been in two practices so how much can we expect out of him just getting back to playing? I think once he's going again and has a bit more practice time he should start instead of Edwards.
