Experience
Do you guys realize how much experience is on this team? We play an 8 man rotation and this is the experience levels we have:
Starters
Redshirt Senior (Rosario)
Senior (Murphy)
Senior (Boynton)
Junior (Wilbekin)
Junior (Young)
Reserves
Junior (Prather)
Junior (Yeguete)
Freshman (Frazier II)
This mix of experience and skill is something coaches would kill for. Every one of these guys except for Frazier have been to 2 Elite 8's in a row (Rosario was watching the first one during his redshirt year). That is the reason I get frustrated with this team when they make stupid plays or play with no effort. We have had multiple players this year that have had to be benched for parts of games because of their effort or their decision making. These guys are way too experienced to be doing that. This team should be a well-oiled machine by now instead of having guys taking bad shots, playing with poor effort, etc.
With that said, I'm very happy with how they were able to take the game back today after being down by 8 and that gives me more hope for the future.
