I want Silvio and Dave to split minutes on Saturday. 20 and 20 for both.
Braun, Enaruna, Moss, Ochai, Teahan, Jank and Elliott to play the rest.
I'll take the under that Dave would foul out long before he played 20 minutes.

Minus an emergency situation, I would be ok if we don’t see sds again this season.
The kid has been too much work for the return.

Silvio should have five fouls Saturday, and each game next week.
The only thing I care about now is getting to the second weekend healthy. Our own health/fatigue is the only major risk until the Final Four.

We are as healthy as we can expect/hope to be after grinding it out for 5+ months.
He have been as healthy as we could be after grinding it out for 5+ months.
We are in good shape for this time of year. Let’s roll!

"He have been as healthy as we could be after grinding it out for 5+ months."
This isn't 100% true. Or even 50% true really.
Udoka's ankle was rolled ( though he looks to be OK ).
Dotson is ailing some ( and had to sit out from injury last night ).
Marcus has been managing an injury.
Those 3 players are our core.
Risk mitigation is smart.

So what is an acceptable reality after grinding it out for 5+ months? “Not a scratch.” In la la land maybe.
We’re ok. Let’s ride!

Let's ride.
Beginning March 19th-20th.

I would say we've generally gone into March healthier than this, about 50%ish of Bill's time here.
It's obviously true that each of our three dudes is not presently 100%. There's nothing material left to play for this season besides the big prize.

For what, though? Iowa State's annual vacation?

We could loose the no. 1 overall seed, which means not picking your location and potentially playing tougher opponents, if we lost 2 games in a row.
We aren't loosing a 1 seed at this point though so yea, do your thing Iowa State.

And yes, if we could win the B12 tourney, i'd be all for it.
I want to win it.
But at this point, our main guys a bit dinged, and with a 1 seed wrapped up, it's less important to me.

Health over a meaningless trophy.
I'm not close to convinced we need 3 wins next week to be 1-1.

No.
I'd argue if we won at Tech OR beat our 8/9 seed, that it should be wrapped up in a nice Lunardi bow.

Bumps and bruises are expected, yes.
However, there's quite a bit of room between not a scratch and having your 3 best players walking around in boots between games.

I'm not convinced we need any more the rest of the way. Remember, only wins matter (not losses).
Gonzaga and San Diego St. aren't picking up any more meaningful wins. And especially if Baylor can't get our pelt, neither are they.
Last week I suggested taking Friday off (trying to win Thursday, and then Saturday).
I've changed my mind. Don't try Thursday
or Friday. If you get to Saturday, sure, play it straight for a shot at a trophy.

By not trying, Jfish means play the bench a lot, but at least have THEM try.
I want to see Braun for 33 minutes at point.
