Thiero needs to play 30 min a game. Maybe 10 for Mitchell. He is a defensive liability. Our team falls apart, disconnected defensively when he’s on the floor. I’m thankful he was willing to play center to start the year but he is not the difference maker we need at the 4. I would get Thiero 30 and edwards 10 leave Mitchell on the bench unless there’s foul trouble. We can’t play like this and win in the ncaaT. We couldn’t get the train rolling until Mitchell went out then we tightened the defense. Looks like Z needs the brunt of the minutes at the 5 with ugo and Bradshaw offering 10 fouls between them. We have to fix the defense. We aren’t going to be successful going down 10 every game. If pitino had this team we would have 2 losses and the best team in the country. Instead we go down every game then expend energy coming back and it all boils down to our awful defense.
