Devo and Kamani Johnson are both in the rotation. Kamani hasn't gotten many minutes this year but Muss has started him the last two games. While he isn't the biggest he will outwork anybody on the court. 10 Offensive rebounds the last two games and a huge putback against Kansas all while playing against much bigger and better talent and he's done it while playing 12 min against Illinois and 19 against Kansas.Only 1 of their top 7 rotation guys was on the team last year,
Ricky Council played for Witchita State on their tournament teams so he's got experience.
New rotations are nothing new. Go look at our year over year rosters since Muss has gotten here. We only ever have 1 or 2 rotation players return. The rest either go pro or if they don't produce they are sent packing.
Last year we only had 2 returning rotation players. Notae and Williams
2020-2021 season we lost every rotation player and replaced it and made the Elite 8
There is a reason Charles Barkley said on Saturday, "Eric Musselman is one of the best coaches in the country."
Anybody saying this game is a walk in the park like Iona and Saint Marys is in for a rude awakening.
This will be the most physical team you've played all year and you'll remember playing them.
As i've said this will be a tight game much like the Kansas game. This isn't a blowout game.
