As a math nerd, I would take McCormack out and put in Coleman-Lands. Go 5-out. You need some luck and to make 3s and shots if you expect to outscore a good team by 16 points in a half. So many coaches refuse to accept this reality though. Either lose by 30, or maybe make it close. [Reply]

Other than Agbaji, McCormack is literally the only guy on the floor not freaking out right now. Doubt that will end well. [Reply]

Not sure I agree. He doesn’t have to create shots. He’s passing on shots that were right there for him. Even if it means an extra dribble. That’s not enough to close this big of a gap but it’s hard to accept a high fg % on too few selective shots when the rest of the team is flailing on looks that are way less open. [Reply]

Agbaji is not a volume shooter or a guy who hits contested shots. He's a spot shooter who excels coming off screens on catch-and-shoots. Doing what you are suggesting has never been his role on KU in his 4 years with the team. [Reply]
