Day 3 from Maui after a blowout of Chaminade. Chaminade beat Cal by 24 in the earlier game. Very important they win today to help our NCAA resume. Game starts at 5 on ESPN 2. Go Blue!!

They need to play more. This staff needs to stop the hard on for Robinson playing 35 minutes a game. He has value, but also liabilities. Can't play D or rebound. Poole has looked good, want more of him.

Never said Poole was better than Robinson. Just said Livers and Poole should get more minutes, especially early in the season. I think many on this board can agree, Robinson playing 35+ minutes a game isn't ideal for the success of this season. He can shoot, but against good/athletic teams he struggles sometimes. Plus, he's a liability on D.

Seems to be coming down with a case of Grudenitis.

At first I thought that idea was crazy, but what do you think? Not all of the time, but perhaps for stretches each half? Against bigger teams? Teske is a difference. Definitely my biggest surprise to start of the season.

I think we look better with Teske in the lineup instead of Moe. I love Moe - wonder if JB will play them both at the same time. Guy Matthews is guarding is big - not quick - so it'd be nice to get a bigger body on him.
