The six points Reed had in the semifinals were his only points in the three games we played against Creighton.

He definitely is better than Samson on defense against Kalkbrenner so he should have played more.

He did get the majority of minutes in the second half and would have played more in the first if he didn’t pick up two quick fouls.  His inability to stay out of foul trouble in the first half was the only reason his minutes were limited.  That’s on him and not Hurley.  Anyone could make a claim that if he started he would avoid fouling.  Certainly possible but unlikely.

Once he entered the game in the second half he was only taken out for a short interval because he was gassed.

Reed had trouble moving Kalkbrenner on offense in all three games and was blocked several times in the first two games.  It amazes me how strong Kalk is.  You would not guess it by looking at his body.

For the most part the platooning of Samson and Reed have worked well this season.  But not against Creighton.  The five is not perfect.  But it has been the least of the problems for this team.
