Any reason to play Sammy at this point in the season rather than allow him a RS injury year?

David's avatar

I believe if he only plays in a limited number of games he saves his RS year. Of course, these days you never know if they'll transfer after a year or two or not.....

survive and advance. Well done.

18 dimes on 30 makes is good. Will take it. And Dorsey had his best game in awhile even in only 7 minutes.

Box checked and moving on

Poor second half D but business has been taken care of.

Nice effort. Did what you had to do. Double digit road win in the ACC is what was needed.

Given the players they are forced to play in the post, the fact that this team is 3-3 without Lee Dort is something.

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

Without Dort, Cal’s interior defense is really quite awful.

Make a layup, Ilic. We need Dort back in the worst way v Furd and SMU.

Sammy with a brick

Sammy can shoot the 3…that was his first shot attempt of the year.

Gonna take him some time tho.

Big Dog's avatar

of course, I was hoping it would drop to give him some confidence and shake of the rust.

He’s got the frame to really help the club down the stretch.

Be nice to get him in the scoring column in some way today!

AKBear's avatar

11th worst bench scoring at 11 points per game. But have 7 already today.

Big Dog's avatar

two silly fouls in Ilic. BC should start going inside every play. tbf, the first foul was a Pac12 style call. Hastings dropped his shoulder into Illic

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

There’s been a few P12 phantom calls today.

AKBear's avatar

Giving up too many offensive rebounds.

Big Dog's avatar

and fouls. Pippen and Ilic need to stay in the game.

AKBear's avatar

Sammy makes his first appearance.

AKBear's avatar

Looking good so far.

Safe to say they are playing for their NCAA Tournament lives each game, probably from here on out.

Gotta get this one.

David's avatar

Of course, their chances of winning a game or more postseason would be better in the NIT. No?

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

Depends on if they get Dort back. This is not a NCAAT team without his D.

But IMO, respectfully, it’s always better to make the Dance and lose in the round of 64 than win a game or 2 in the NIT….especially in the portal era where you could have a whole new roster next year (hopefully not but…)

Still, any kind of postseason berth is great, tbh, after the previous 2 incompetent AD’s literally tried their absolute best to kill the entire program.
