do too much? Bryce Cotton was asked to do too much. Rodney Bullock is not...at least not from the reports when he was sitting out. Unless he has a come to jesus evening, I'd prefer lindsey be limited to 6 minutes per half. Let Edwards and Fazekas rotate with Jr and Cartwright and Lindsey with Bullock and Bentil.

Bryce Cotton had Henton and two other tall men to rebound and defend the rim. Bullock has little support. The kid is running the floor and asked to rebound, defend , score, and catch bullet passes. Is this not his first year actually playing? Cartwright was the leading rebounder in the Nova game (or was it the DePaul game). Bentil is a PF playing out of position. My point is they are all exerting maximum effort for as long as they physically can. How worn down must KD be to drive into the lane and attempt to spark the team offensively, then run back , defend and at times pick the ball from a defender or on the pass. How many times is he pulling down that defensive rebound among the trees?
Sometimes I am amazed at all this team has done this season with the supporting cast behind Dunn and Bentil. And you know, each one has contributed at times. Most of all, from Dunn's and Bentil's supporting cast, perhaps, Cartwright and Jr.
... thanks, I meant PF not SF.....
Also, yes iron man team 6 players... 40 -plus minutes.... no quit... BE Tournament Champs.... good times... Shocked Creighton... in attendance....
thanks for reminder that no one is saying they aren't trying....
they seem gassed though....save Bentil and maybe Cartwright and Lomomba with all their energy.
Dunn has a lot on his shoulders and defended hard by the opposing team each game... has to wear on him some.
Any reports on Cotton's transition to BCBA. I even found a game to watch one night hoping he was on that team rather than watch Curry play and light up the scoreboard.
The cultural differences alone will take some time to adjust from what I watched.

I wouldn't call Bentil a SF at the college level. He's a great, and perfect, PF at the college level.
He will have to play SF in the NBA.
Similar to Gomes this way, but Ben is bigger and more athletic.

Dad you remember we played 6 guys...cotton averaged over 40mpg and had the ball in his hands all the time.
