Sorry if I missed something, but why are we running out walk-ons when Eubanks was semi-highly rated and is on the bench. Even if he hasn't gotten it figured out yet, it can't be that bad. Someone fill me in that he left or is ineligible or something.

Must be having tough time getting 100% after his injury?

He either sucks or can't get healthy. One or the other.

Hot take alert. Maybe he just isn't very good?

You have to earn your PT, and if the limited game time he has received is anything like how he looks in practice, he hasn't earned sh*t

He might not be that good. But do most of y'all honestly think that Collins and Carlton deserve minutes over him and Villa?

I honestly think that we don't see practice and that our coaching staff isn't intentionally trying to tank the team

I agree that we don't see practice and of course the coaches want to win. But game experience is invaluable and I would think they would benefit from more minutes. It can't be much worse

Yes, Collins definitely

Well he got in with 4 seconds left. Nice try but came up short

i thought for sure after he got the ball taken right out of his hands against MSU we wouldnt see this question again.

Have you watched Vila?? Vila is beyond awful and is way overmatched against any decent opponent. Vila is not a D1 level player at this point.

I don't trust Kennedys judgement one bit. If Eubanks and Collins played 1v1 tomorrow I would put all of my money on Eubanks. Collins has gone scoreless 3 of the last 4 games. How is he going to beat Eubanks scoring 0 points?

I'm not sure what Kennedys angle is here, other than missing the NCAA tournament for the 18th out of 21 seasons in his career.

I'm not saying they should be starters or even get a lot more playing time. I just figured that with us being short-handed to begin with that a few more minutes for them might be helpful in their development.

Doubt Eubanks will see court next season with a loaded perimeter team of Chandler, Flagg, Gilder, Hogg, Starks, Caldwell.

At this point, I think probably he just didn't pan out and turn out to be as good as his HS recruiting rating.

He is probably one that should transfer. Yes, I said the bad word.

Pretty simple....He's not a point guard and he's not very good.

If there is ever a game gilder and hogg both are in heavy foul trouble, he'll get his minutes

I don't know any stats and am not a coach at any level. But y'all are probably right. Our line ups all year have had the most talent on the court. /sarcasm.
For real though, I am glad we won and actually like this team. Just frustrated with the overall season and lack of utilizing our talent

I do know Collins is not the answer. But Eubanks doesn't fill his spot either.

Gilder is actually playing the point with Hampton as a combo guard Eubanks >> Collins...we played a lot better with Eubanks in.

^I do agree with that. Just if we need someone to handle it, obviously that's not going to be Eubanks. Collins should be an end of game blowout guy.

I think we have been better with Vila than either Eubanks or Collins.

We've looked good all year when the other team is sucking. Anyone that would have gotten on the court today would have, and did, look good.

Collins only played 10 minutes today, had 3 assists and 0 TO's. BK would call that a perfect game for him.

Damn, I just looked at Eubanks stat line today:

25 minutes (I had no idea), 3/5 FG's, 2/4 3 pts, 6 rebounds, 8 points, 0 assists, 0 TO's

If he'd actually call that a "perfect game" from anyone he needs to be fired yesterday.

Collins not making major mistakes in limited time still doesn't help.

The simple fact is Gilder at a hybrid PG with Hampton playing off guard has been much more effective and now with playing time we're seeing kobe contribute as well.

None of that was happening when we were featuring Collins as much as we were earlier in the year.

BK has failed miserably with roster management this season.

This x 1,000. He has done an absolute horrible job!

Maybe some players need more than 3 minutes to prove themselves. Collins should not be on the court, except in mop-up time. I'm going to say this again. Collins banked a FT yesterday. He banked a FT. Let that sink in. We are playing a PG who can't draw iron on a set shot from 15 feet away. There are players at the rec better than him. He can't bring the ball up without a screen. He can't hit a wide open shot. I hate to dog the kid. I really do. It's 100% Kennedy's fault for playing him. Collins is playing his hardest and I've got nothing against him. Eubanks should have been given more playing time. We should run an offense that doesn't require a true PG, but that would require a faster tempo, and Kennedy is afraid of that. We could have been running the offense that Kansas ran when Kirk Hinrich was PG, and this would be a tournament team - darned shame.

This. Collins playing huge minutes is a big reason this season went rapidly south. BK was either too stubborn or dumb to see what was happening. Finally, his minutes are at least closer to sane (should be solely mop up, but 10 is progress).

Collins is one of those guys who announcers say does things that doesn't necessarily show up on a stat sheet. Except what he's doing out there is hurting the team, not helping.

I have to believe he just had a really rough time getting back from injury. If he's healthy and getting Collins' minutes this season then we probably pick up 2-3 more wins just by virtue of having someone on the floor who is at a D1 athletic level (I honestly believe we pull out the win at WVU if we aren't essentially playing 4 on 5)

Kobie seems to be able to play real minutes now, and this last stretch of the season should be a good opportunity for him to show if he can contribute, especially for next year with Hampton departing.

I don't think its fair to say the reason went south when Collins started playing big minutes. It was going south before that, that was BK trying somethign to change it....which is a really idiotic solution for a coach to consider.

You'd better have a really good reason any time you decide not to play your 5 best players.
