Options Sans Davies

[kfilly20]

James Anderson is not an option.

Remember that for a good part of the year, Davies was MIA (a non-factor in early games) or sitting on the bench in foul trouble. When he's good, he's a big help for the team, but we've gotten along fine without him before and I think we'll do it again.

Was thinking the same thing. We pretty much beat SDSU without him, though he's been great on the glass as of late.

Problem is, teams are perceiving him as an inside threat. He can score down low with his back to the basket. In fact, when he got the ball down low he often got doubled. Noah doesn't have the reputation and Anderson certainly doesn't either.

James Anderson is not an option.

If it's the only tool in the tool bag, is it really considered an "option?"

Nope, it then becomes "essential"

How's Chris Collinsworth's knee?

That was my first thought too.

I think we have to go with:

1 - Jimmer
2 - Jackson
3 - KC
4 - Abouo
5 - Hartsock

We're going to have to these players to now play the entire game and not to foul, at all......Noah's going to have to become an IRON MAN and re-discover how to play with his back to the basket. Rogers now becomes a pivotal 6th man and we have become one of the shallowest teams in the nation. I just hope Davies is allowed to return next year and that he chooses to do so.

I like Davies but I'm not dying over this. Zone, zone and more zone. Anderson can rebound okay. KC will have to man up, Magnusson will need to use his fouls, and Rogers needs to shoot with confidence. We have to move on and realize this simply means a few more shots for Jimmer.

Not only has Davies been great on the glass but he's been blocking a lot of shots lately too. His Dunks bring an excitement/perception of athleticism to the team that helps us pass the eye test to our critics. Hopefully we can still hold on to a 2 - seed. The selection committee will likely not be very kind to us as we've lost one of our better players. I could see us falling to a 3 or 4 seed now even if we win out. Our team will need to prove a lot tomorrow vs UNM

Does Shawn Bradley have any eligibility left? He only played the one year for BYU after all. Is it too late to recruit Tai Wesley?

[BYULV]

Ansah could probably fill in a few minutes down low for us, think bronco would mind sharing him?

The committee isn't going to drop us to a 4 seed because one of our players is missing, as long as we win out, we'll be a one, otherwise we'll be a two.
