I agree last night it looked like that but it's more viable than we may think. I look at it logically:Well, it's situational.
When they lost Roach to the bench with an injury, and Edgecombe did not play, Baylor was down both starting guards. Their bigs were still working the paint, so Reed, Jr. and Johnson were both in to try and stop Omier and co from post play since our guards could handle the replacements.
They need to lear each other's spacing when both are playing bc at least to me it was a little awkward with both getting in each other's way of rebounding. Short lived as Johnson fouled out but we will see this again should oppositional post play bother Hurley.
Yeah we had to with Omier/Ojainwuna playing together and no Karaban. Normally, those 2 play together for a few minutes and then they bring in Celestine or go 4 guard with Edgecombe/Love at the 4. But Baylor had to play them more together with Edgecombe out and Celestine in severe foul trouble (3 fouls in 1st, fouled out in 5 min in 2nd).Baylor plays two bigs in certain lineups I think. Hurley just matched up. I don't see this being a "thing" but you never know he might trot it out again.
