All the talk going into the season about Sully, his size and skill. While he has fallen short on expectations in the tourneys, we have got a gift in Thomas.

Thomas and Craft has carried this team when we thought it was gonna be Buford and Sully.

Those expecting to see a lot of Amir in the second half are likely to be disappointed. This isn't the time to dramatically change your rotation.

Using him in short stretches is fine, but he's not ready for big minutes at this point and Gonzaga will figure that out if he's in too long.

I don't think we got a 'gift" in Thomas.. He was Mr BB of Indiana...I think he is playing like we expected him to.

Agreed. But there is a game in every players career when they seem to have that breakthrough moment. Williams moment is coming soon...

This game yes. Clearly with their size RAvanel isn't doing the job spelling Sullinger. And Sullinger defensively hasnt done well either. Put in Amir to guard in the post more and we will be more successful.

Nobody say knight the kid, but you play matchups and actually have to adjust in games, it's called basketball.

I haven't heard anyone calling for him to start, just to get some minutes for a change in the next half since he's done good so far this game. I don't think a lot of minutes might be good, but another 5 minute or so stretch to rest Sully or cover him for fouls couldn't be a bad thing from what we saw from him in the first half. If Thomas goes cold, maybe put him in for Thomas a bit.

I'm not ready for him to start, but he played well down the stretch in the 1st half...."reward" him with good minutes to begin the 2nd half and see where it goes.

Turnovers are pretty even.. 7-6. Gonzaga's big advantage right now is offensive boards, 8-2... gotta clean that up in the second half and keep up the defense that was played in the last 5 minutes. Come out hot, bury them and don't let up!
