So much wrong here.  First, IW would have started on the '14 team instead of Phil Nolan in the middle and is a much, much better player than Phil was.  And don't tell me about Brimah, who until we got to the tournament wouldn't have been ready to play the majority of the game.  Second, the theory that any team shouldn't be playing the guys who are the most likely to win games that season so that you're better in future years is absurd.  You pitch your best today because you don't know if it will rain tomorrow.  A guy like Diggins might get homesick for Philadelphia and enter the portal, or be in a car accident and have his career cut short, or just not develop into the player everyone thought.  You don't sacrifice your current season because of how much better that might make us in two years.

It amazes me that people can't just say damn, Polley and Gaffney aren't playing well enough and leave it at that.  Instead, we have to read through this level of overreaction where if people think that by telling you the world is flat they think it reflects poorly on the upperclassmen, they'll tell you the world is flat.
