[Marat]

Polley at the 2 . Nobody had that.

I’m a little concerned about ball handling but in Hurley I Trust

 

[AntG168]

If Ed Cooley has any clue he’ll press the hell out of this lineup. No ball handlers and Gaff is iffy at best

His team is not equipped for that. Duke, their only real playmaker guard, plays 40 minutes a game. They have no good perimeter defenders and force very few turnovers as a team.

 

[HooperScooper]

Not sure I like this. Polley better be on fire from three or this lineup won't last long.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Love seeing Gaff in there. Dislike seeing Polley due to his horrific D and weak rebounding. Maybe we will score more, but this defensive lineup is very concerning. Gaff plus Jackson would be much better.

 

[jdb50]

Polley needs to go to the rim more than once a game or he will rarely get wide open 3 chances.

 

[auror]

It's a good lineup for this game. Can put Martin on Duke. Can hide Polley on Reeves. Whaley to guard Watson and Sanogo on Horchler. Gaffney can get up in freshman Breed.

Would still prefer Jackson over Polley, but this'll work.

 

[ARIDE]

Gaffney
Polley
Sanogo
Whaley
Martin

Who is on the court the last 8 minutes is what matters!

 

[Tenspro2002]

I don't mind sending a message to Cole and Adams, but this is just a bizarre lineup.

i agree this lineup must be matchup dependent it's just so big and weird. but gaff/aj/martin/whaley/sanogo wouldnt have enough shooting. gimme aj over whaley instead: gaff/aj/polley/martin/sanogo

Looks like Ed has a bit of a clue. 3/4 court pressure off first made basket.

Yeah that's actually a good option. Not too energy intensive.

He's rolling right now. Mamma Cole happier now.

 

[UConnDad]

Us too.

Not rolling from the charity stripe where it may come to at the end.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Glad Gaff got the start but disappointed he got stuck on the bench for most of the half. Short leash?
