We can't keep our bigs out of foul trouble playing one at a time. Now we are going to play them at the same time? Singare better be stretching his hammies.

Of Brazil’s and Aidu, the two starting bigs, only Brazil’s shoots 3s and he has only made 22 all year.

Correct, and Samson Johnson and Tarris Reed Jr have attempted 12 combined in 7 seasons. If either one was even willing to take a jumper from the free throw line there might be an argument. But it would completely bog down our offense, which is one of the best in the country

Our bigs wouldn't be in foul trouble all the time if we had better defenders at other positions. More Stewart, Ball, Mahaney and recently, bad knees Diarra = more fouls on whoever is under the basket.
 
Johnnies have a brutal offensive team on the court right now because of Kadary's fouls and RJ Luis is pressing like crazy.

Johnson DRtg: 101.8

So you think we need more Stewart?

Neither one is willing to take a shot more than 3 feet from the basket, so yes. Every minute at the 4 should be going to Stewart and Karaban

UConn never tried other than a few minutes when Karaban was hurt, so we will never know if it would have worked. We also will never know if a zone could have helped because we didn’t try that either.
 
St. John's has to start hitting some shots or they are going to lose by 10+.
 
Sju must be shock meeting this much resistance in the paint. They usually own the paint in the BE. But Arkansas has unicorns like brazllle
 
SJU expending a ton of energy and so few points.
 
Undercutting Luis on the rebound was a really dirty play by #1 on Arkansas. Don't recommend doing something like that in a pickup game.

St Johns looks really bad

And yet Arkansas is only up 8. Not good for the Razorbacks. St. John's has missed 13 or 14 straight FGs are in still within striking distance. When they start making some shots, this one will be over.
 
Johnnies have missed 11 layups, no Kadary, and Arkansas is only up 2 points.
 
Even though the pressure is on St John's in this game, it does feel like Arkansas has the pressure to hold the lead. When St John's takes a lead they take over.

That’s a joke of a flagrant.

No it isn't, and the undercut by #1 on Luis a few minutes ago was a flat out dirty play that would get someone a punch in the face if they did it in a pickup game. I don't think this confrontation occurred in a vacuum.

Momentum shift on the flagrant. St John’s has a little bit of us from last year in them. They can get down early, they hang around, then just methodically build a lead.
