We need to scrap the defensive mentality because regardless of how well the other 3-4 players defend the opposing team will score inside.  

Totally agree with this assessment.  However, defense might be predicated
on matchups.  How well does the team handle the ball. Some teams you might
still be able to match up with okay inside, I mean not everybody have
the big physical players like Depaul and Marquette.  But let's press those
big teams and force the big guys to beat us in a quick game. 

> 2) As a result of point #1 Huggins should make permanent changes to the lineup and hope for the best.  I would start Moore, Baker, Williams, Stokes, Bobitt, and Maxiell.  These are the only players that have any chance of making a shot.  

If Huggins could do that we'd be a threat to win a lot of games but even
C-USA refs might notice 6 on the court.  

I'd drop Moore.  People think that lineup would turn us into a 
perimeter game but I don't think so.  Bobbitt and Stokes are both
capable of penetrating and to an extent so are Fields and Barker
though how long is it going to be until the opposing team realizes
that Barker never actually shoots when he penetrates.

You could also add Moore in a lot of spell guys so he'd get significant
playing time.  That would give us three point guards to work with as 
last year Stokes did some time at the point.

Later,
