Watching the game tonight it was tough to see Ark back off Briscoe and clog the lane. Our offense stalled quite a bit at times because its hard to space the floor.

I know Cal loves Briscoe. He plays a ton of minutes and I dont know what better options we have.

Do we play Willis at the 3? Or just hope
We can generate enough offense with Murray and Ullis in the backcourt?
 
Our biggest problem is no post presence. Nothing is a close second.
 
Post presence is an issue. But we may have to use Skal differently. Frontcourt was solid tonight.
 
If Skal is gonna play as well or better than tonight I see the starting 5 as..
Ulis
Murray
Willis
Poythress
Skal
Put Willis at the 3.. I see this as our best lineup after tonight.. Briscoe is 1st off the bench..

Yep I kinda think thats the lineup with the highest ceiling for success. You lose some matchup advantages without Willis at the 4 but this may be the lineup with the most upside.

I agree IF Skal has truly turned the corner. I need more than one game.
 
This lineup makes us bigger, better offensively, and tough to guard. It might also keep Lee out of foul trouble.

Willis isn't as effective at the 3. Game's getting smaller. He can't check college wings. Just have to deal with Briscoe's deficiencies and appreciate his smarts, D and rebounding.

Skal was playing more around 15ft out tonight, seems more comfortable out there. I have been hoping Cal would move him away from basket for several games.
 
Skal had 11 points 3 bds and 3 blocks in 20 mins.

He is and always has been the key to a 5th FF in 6 yrs for UK.
