Message: [QUOTE="Rb335, post: 4129185, member: 2685"] Even though this injury is just to one player, it’s really exposed the lack of playing time given to our bench. We came into the season carrying a roster of 14, lost one to transfer, and now have 3 injured. So far, we were able to mask that by playing our top 5/6 a lot of minutes. But now we are dressing 10 players, including one freshman who hasn’t appeared in a game, and two sophomores who have sniffed a combined 8 minutes through 6 games. Essentially we are going into these next few games with 7 options, unless Geno is willing to give everyone some playing time. Not to mention CD was struggling to get court time prior to ND. We’ve been lucky to avoid the injury bug in recent years, but our reliance on a rotation of 6 or 7 for many years was bound to be tested at some point. It’ll be interesting to see how our players respond and if there’s been a diamond in the rough sitting on the bench. [/QUOTE]
