And it helps if the other team does not have 3 good experienced ball handling guards, you seldom need to defend the 7 footers if the other team has trouble getting the ball across halfcourt.  Also, once you rotate, it is nice if your 234 guys happen to be 6'5" to 6'8" and so are not outmatched by the rotation.  It looks like Tulane and DePaul don't have too many good experinced ball handlers.

Was it 2 years ago that we played Dayton and layed off until Brooks Hall went to the bench and sprung the trap on their Frosh?
This year's trap is better and will force the newbies/bench depth to play plenty. 

Too bad the scholarships prevent these kids from having regular jobs, a couple of nights cleaning the grease traps and cleaning/unsticking the john, mopping the floors and then getting that 40 * $6 (minus taxes) might make Whaley want to 
bust his butt PLAYING Basketball, to get a job being FILTHY RICH instead of the world's tallest <fill-in-the-blank>. 
How many Kenyons/Logans/Stokes do you need before you start questioning the Jucos? 
Ohio St has a Meeker-clone who is just a little more angry/intense walk-on who is tearing it up, and sitting down all of OSU's
whiney, me-first transfers (malcontent once---> malcontent again).  
Hope Whaley "wants it" soon.
