Message: [QUOTE="pick6s, post: 5209074, member: 484"] Best game in a while. Reed, while inconsistent, is a borderline star and should be playing 30 min/game. Karaban’s shot is back. Diarra has some spring in his step again. Suddenly, this team looks like it could cause some March Madness. My biggest concern for the rest of the season is point guard/the bench. We can’t run Diarra into ground and need to give him some breaks, especially with him fasting during Ramadan. I actually think Mahaney’s ball handling looks substantially improved from earlier in the year- which makes sense since he’s never been a point guard before- and I’d like to see him get some minutes next game to spell Diarra and see what he looks like right now. Besides, Nowell hasn’t looked great so our options are limited. We could consider McNeeley bring the ball up, which would move Mahaney to the wing if/when he’s in, where he can provide some offense. If Reed moves into the staring five- as he should- UConn will need someone to provide scoring off the bench. Ross hasn’t been providing much of anything. Stewart has been good at times but missing during others. Nowell has been eh. And so I return to Mahaney again. I realize he’s been a failure for most of the year but I’d like to see him get a few minutes and see what he looks like right now. He can score off the bench and he can create offense- both of which this teams needs- and I think he’s gotten better at handling the ball. Let’s give him some minutes the next few games. [/QUOTE]
