At some point do we see Sanogo and Clingan on the floor together?

All you have to do is look at Purdue who was in the same situation last year with Trevion Williams and Zach Edey who were both dominating. They both averaged around 20 minutes a game and played 9 possessions together the whole season

Yes, we've already seen it.

And I think they answer is yes, in very specific situations, it can be successful. But by very specific. Maybe only a few times for a few minutes. Later in the season.

If they're practicing it now. They must be, if Hurley already rolled it out once. imagine how teams will respond if we're successful at times using it in the tournament against other big physical teams.

Sanogo has soon and improved ability to defend the "dribble drive" this year without fouling. Which would leave DC to defend the paint.

Yep, two seasons in a row with this approach and they lost first round in the NCAA's and then lost to the Peacocks in the Sweet 16.

Hurley Needs to Find Lineups w/ Sanogo & Clingan

End of story. I’ve seen enough. DC is a gd monster.

Sanogo and Clingan

How are teams going to deal with Sanogo and Clingan this year? You have to try and stop one of the best players in the country (and yes he looks different now) who has a bunch of moves/pump fakes and can now keep u honest with the occasional shot from three and then you bring in the 7'2 guy. I...

Were Williams and Edey on the floor together when Purdue won the championship?

I can't imagine not trying it in a home game against a team with a big you think you can beat anyway. If it doesn't work it doesn't work, and I wouldn't push change too hard on this team the way it's playing. But, would I like to have the two-big in my quiver on a day when we can't hit an outside shot, or need them both on the floor for Defense, or have injuries/foul trouble for Karaban and AJ? Yes. They are both so damn good I really can't see not at least giving it a look as a way to get them up to 45 to 48 combined minutes.

You've got to admit playing zone with a line up of AS, DC, SJ, JH, & AJ would be intriguing.

I think they can easily try this against Georgetown at home next week. Put Donovan on Wahab and Adama on Akok for a handful of minutes. Georgetown uses the two of them together about 35% of the time and that at least gives Danny a sample without really sacrificing rotations.
 
Plan A-- Keep doin' what you're doin'.. It's working.. You're 11-0 ..Top 3
Plan B-- Tweak what you're doin' if it appears like it's not working- Minor adjustments-- Not needed at this time
Plan C--Make some personnel adjustments because its not working.. Not needed at this time
Plan D-- Creative problem solving and personnel combinations.. Overthinking .. AS/DC tandem.. Not needed at this time.

Plan A seems to be working pretty good.. Ride that wave to the beach

That's what we need. Nine possessions of Clingan and Sanogo together. Sign me up!

Sanogo feeding Clingan in the post.

Missed opportunity for you. We already got the 9 possessions in OOC play, I think it was the BU game

I could see Hurley showing this near the end of the season, if for no other reason than to give other teams something else to have to gameplan for. Of course, what could a game plan for that possibly be?

I'm not sure why people want this. The only reason I could see to do this is if the other team you were playing had two legit bigs. How many of those are there?

But again......why? We're not a .500 basketball team searching for answers. We're dominating teams right now. Why would we make a lineup change to see what happens when we already know if we keep the lineups as they are we can beat top five teams by 15+? What is the obsession with getting them on the floor together? Even if they are two of your best five players, the benefits to staggering them so drastically outweigh the negatives that it's not even close.

Also, Georgetown may suck but if we didn't trot out experimental lineups against 1-7 LIU maybe the best time to do so isn't against a conference opponent, no matter how bad?
 
I'm curious as to how many on here have forgotten our two most recent national title teams.

What I want to see (at all times) is two ball handlers (either Jackson and whoever is on the court as PG or two PG's).

We have sufficient evidence that (from many teams in many tournaments over the years) that worrying too much about height can be a recipe for disaster.
 
That Purdue team would’ve won the championship if their wings were Jordan Hawkins and Andre Jackson Jr. Also Sanogo plays better defense than Williams, so we have a much better defensive core than that Purdue team.

According to this board Spud Webb can guard Akok.

Now we've heard it all.

Some wingnut poster suggesting Sanogo play PG and Clingan play 2G because that's what's worked in the past.

No need to force them to play guard. They are natural front court players; play to their strengths.

Why not? Sanogo can play 2G because he’s lethal from 3 and DC can run point because he passes better than Bird and Walton. Hurley having a seizure, it’s coaching malpractice by not realizing this.

I could see them having both in the final minutes of a tight Xavier game, with Dan Hurley making subs every time X goes to the FT line.
