Laster and Plowden in at the end. Could see a changing of the guard here.
You see what I did there.
I love Frye but I love winning and competition more.
BG v Hampton 11/19
Re: BG v Hampton 11/19
Listened to most of the second half on the radio. We should probably beat Hampton easier but nice to steal a win when we weren't playing well.
Turner lit it up in that second half.
Why the hell would you let Lillard take the technical free throws? Dumb dumb dumb...didn't bite us but dumb.
Nice to see laster played so well. Frye is just not a PG. He should be the 3rd guard, he's a shooter not a primary ball handler.
Nice to see Wiggins with the big tip in.
Let's win another tomorrow.

Some notable final stats:
Turner went for 21 points on 10/22 shooting from the field, 1/2 from beyond the arc. He also added 4 assists and 3 rebounds in 34 minutes.
Wiggins went for 13 points on 5/11 shooting, with 11 rebounds and 1 assist in 34 minutes. He was 3/5 from the line.
Lillard added 11 points on 2/7 from the field, 1/2 from beyond the arc, with 6 rebounds in 23 minutes. He was 6/9 from the line.
Laster had 15 points on 7/12 shooting, including 1/2 from the line. He also added 3 rebounds and 2 assists, plus a noteworthy 4 steals in 28 minutes.
Plowden went for 11 points on 5/7 shooting from the field, while adding 8 rebounds in 23 minutes.
My problem with starting Laster and Plowden moving forward is that they aren't threats to really shoot the ball. They can in spurts, but scoring is truly their weak spot outside of the paint. If we ran out a lineup of Laster-Turner-Lillard-Plowden-Wiggins, it may be competitive, but that's going to lead to some awful floor spacing.
I think those guys both compete at a high level, but I think removing Frye's shooting from the lineup could be a big mistake, because he's usually better than he was tonight and with Wiggins being our center, we need another shooter out there to balance him out.
Ultimately, we did a better job of taking care of the basketball. However, we really need to be better on our free throws. That type of thing will come back and kill us later in the year, when the games are tight.
