You go with who gives you the best chance to win the game. Ellis>>>>>>Diallo/Bragg. No doubt those two will be able to help Kansas wins games this year. It's just that last night KU needed every bit they could get out of Ellis/Selden/Graham/Mason. That leaves 1 spot to get in there and play. Lucas finished with 5 pts and 8 boards and Jamari Traylor posted 6 points and 4 boards. That helped make up for Mikkelson who just wasn't in his element in that game. So, KU's bench bigs combined for 11 points and 12 boards. In that game KU needed it's most experienced players to beat Oklahoma's best and most experienced players. I'd expect Cal to play our best players in games like that as well.

Yeah. That was pretty pathetic. Even with that google search I'm not sure what information he was trying to find.
didn't Lee get the starting job briefly, before WCS did, but got really sick (or he was injured)? I know there was something going on there, but can't quite remember
And yet you spend more time on this board than I do.....![[laughing]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/laugh.r191677.gif "Laughing [laughing]")
You have 13,000 post, I have 800. So I doubt that.
To add to my earlier point, KU having Ellis would be like UK keeping DJ this season. If DJ was back how much would Skal even play at this point? He already isn't playing a ton. DJ would have owned Skal in practice and outplayed him in games so again...KU has a reliable upper-classman type while UK does not so they still have to play Skal some in the hopes of him improving a ton by March so we have a shot at glory.
last nights win is basically meaningless. but that is the difference between cal and self. for self...its winning the big 12 title. for cal...its about developing players for march to make a run.
cal could have skal do pick and rolls all game long...but that doesnt make him better. cal throws him the post to get him tougher. which will pay off down the road.
playing laden lucas over guys who come march could be a real difference maker for ku, against good teams...short sighted. benefits self though.
Our guys earn it too, Cal's just really good at knowing which players will give us the best chance of going deep in the tourney and making sure they get developed. Self does it differently and it works in the regular season but not as well as Cal's way does for us in the tourney, which is always our end game objective.
I've been here forever but don't post much. You've been a relatively recent addition and post way too much.
I've been here since 2006, you came in 2007. So no, I haven't posted much.
I stand corrected. You've been here slightly longer than me. Maybe it only FEELS like you've become more obnoxious somewhat recently.
