Zach Graham went on a scoring spree in OT last night against Nebraska. I listened to some of the game and was able to listened to the OT and Graham was unstoppable. Rebs win in OT 85-75.

Now we must win on the road to get to NY.

Which begs the question, "why hasn't he been playing (more) all season?" :?

It wasn't inconsistency. Graham just didn't play much, and that has to do with the fact that Kenny Williams has had much better establishment on the floor. The Beard knows his surroundings in college basketball a whole lot better than Graham. Williams went into overtime with foul trouble, and that's when our depth helps. We've got bigger, faster guys coming in next year that will really help Chris Warren down in the post. K-Dub and Curtis are a serious asset, but with Malcolm White and Zach Graham in the line-up, there is no doubt that they will be sufficiently replaced. Kennedy knew who he needed to recruit and he did it well. The true question this should beg, is "how far into the tourney are we headed next year?"

Truth be told, I'd MUCH rather be asking THIS question...... I think we ALL would. :)

We'll be very young next year, after losing 3 senior big men. Who we have coming in are much more talented, but u can't replace experince. I think we're still 2 years away from being VERY good. Hopefully we'll make the big dancwe next year, but doubt we make much noise. But come 2 years from now, look out.
u can never judge a book by how it chews its food

Graham played a wing most of the year so talking about Kenny has nothing to do with it. Graham has been much more consistent all year than Gaskins. That is where he should have had more playing time. Turnover Gaskins has done nothing but make 3's and that inconsistently. His defense, passing, ball handling and rebound suck, period. The 2 & 3 spots are Huertas and Polynice as the starters but the first man off the bench should have been Graham all year for those spots, not Gaskins.
