Not sure if anyone else caught it, but during the Maine post game presser, someone asked Hurley if he would consider going with a 3 guard starting lineup. He took a minute but then said that he's considered it with Adams or Bouk. I think this team would be better with one of those guys starting because then that allows both of them to get 30 minutes per night. The way he has his rotations now, it's tough for both of those guys to consistently get 25 minutes each.
I have high hopes with what Hurley is doing with this team, and come NCAA tournament time, we have to have our best all around players on the floor, and we eventually need to get the team accustomed to a different starting lineup with one of those two. I would rather see Polley move to the bench and take over the 18-22 minute role. Nothing against Polley, he has been great in spurts this year, but he doesn't have the same all around game that BA and JB have, and Polley may even be a better player playing in spurts.
