I didn’t notice, but according to the boxscore he did. Thats good, thought he was still nursing an injury.

Sampson should give Mercy, Lath, and Jefferson good minutes tomorrow. Save our starters as much as possible.

Gonna be tough to keep Keita off the glass if we’re shorthanded. That’s my biggest concern.

I have zero concerns about tomorrow’s game. 1 seed is a lock. If the guys want to play and Kelvin wants to give them an opportunity to face a high paced offense one last time before the tourney, then cut’em loose.

The outcome has no bearing on how we perform in the national tournament.

We don’t want a key player to get seriously hurt. Seeing Flagg get wheeled off is enough for me to want coach to save it for the Dance.

Roberts probably out , we should just play the bench let the whole world know we are throwing this game on purpose

And give Mercy a chance to make move to the basket.
If Roberts doesn’t play then Lath has to see the court

Just bringing Mercy in as early as we did should have opened some eyes.

We aren’t throwing the game. Mercy, Lath and Jefferson will ball out.

I want to cut down the nets three times. Keep winning.

Nothing wrong with that mentality. I personally think that these nets aren’t worth our health, so play to win but our three deep bench guys should try and carry the load.

UH opens as a 7.5 favorite, that seems like easy money on BYU. I just don’t think we take this game seriously.

Curious… why/how is it that you claim a Saturday win is more required to achieve than a win tomorrow (that happens to be the only way to get to a Saturday game in the first place)?

My thought, if you win tomorrow you are playing 40 more minutes, so might as well win it.
