Bruins Maul Lions

It was an unsurprising result in an expectedly methodical dismantling of an undermanned Lion's team. The Bruins starters raced out to an early lead while the Clippers were busy losing and preventing the rest of us from watching it unfold, allowing the reserves to play early and often. Mike Roll started out hot hitting 3 straight from beyond the arc and Bruin fans were "treated" to extended garbage time (the entire second half), pulling away to win 75-44 (box score).

LMU tried to keep it close by sitting on the ball and utilizing the 2-3 zone on defense. However, in the end, the only suspense was whether the Bruins would double up the Lions.

Not much you can take away from this kind of game given the opposition, but at least the freshmen got a LOT of experience attacking the zone, the walkons got to play, and the Bruins pick up another win.

Diefenbach Free Throw

If someone puts up clips of the game up, can you guys put the Diefenbach free throw up at the end of the game. The bench was hating on him, making fun of him…lol

End of the Bench

Any thoughts as to why kids like Trapani didn’t get in when the Bruins had a 30 point lead? At least it looks that way from the box score. Do different scrubs suit up for each game, such that when CBH clears the bench, some who haven’t played (Trapani, Soo, etc) aren’t in uniform? Just curious.

Rotation Thoughts & Garbage Time

With four budding star freshmen coming off the bench, it seems like they often are in the game together, with a resulting drop-off in the quality of play. Sometimes I think that if they each got in one at a time then came out while another got some minutes—and on-court mentoring—with the regulars, that they might be able to integrate into the offensive and defensive schemes more easily.

Now obviously CBH knows what he’s doing and I’m not fool enough to think I know better, but does anyone have insight into why he choses to do it the way he does?
