It amazes me that he never got in the game yesterday. In my opinion, he's the best offensive big man we have. I don't understand why Cal doesn't play him.

It surprised me too that neither he nor Mulder got into the game. He had a great game against Arizona State on Monday night and he, next to Humphrey, is our tallest player at 6'11".

Defense. As if that would have mattered in this game. Cal has got it to 8 guys for the tough games. If we don't run up a big lead that may be all we see. We have 10 guys who should see the floor but may not get there.

Bama, that was evident from the game yesterday and that is more than likely Cal's 8 man rotation which he likes for the rest of the season, unless he has a run away game.

You guys may think I'm crazy, but what I've seen from Killeya-Jones so far makes me think he could be another Towns, at least offensively. He doesn't miss jumpers and he makes most of his shots around the rim. Defensively he might need work, but so did Towns.

I fully agree. He can shoot the ball but he is still a liability on some of his defense. I have thought from the beginning he would be a 2 year player most likely. Gabriel is ahead of him right now but he just needs more experience. Cal has said that on his interviews this week that he will be playing Jones more, maybe even starting him in a 3 man big lineup.

Killeya-Jones shoots 65% from the field and (13-20) and 36% from the line(4-11).
