Then again, Kruger inserted Mashour for 8 mins, and that was an experiment too. None of our bigs were in foul trouble, so it could have been done. Problem I see is Q has post skills, but is too small. Lopez has some post skills for a frosh, but is raw. Massamba lacks post skills.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59874406650586699.post-69346412713542639212011-03-19T02:24:38.808-07:002011-03-19T02:24:38.808-07:00It looked like Kruger just didn't prepare the ...It looked like Kruger just didn't prepare the Rebels for this game. How can you play flat and get out hustled in a game like this? Illinois' game plan was right on, and played us to a T. The Rebels looked like boys playing against men. <br /><br />The biggest problem for me, as a diehard fan, is that next year looks like it will be exactly the same. An 8-9 seed with a tough first round game. We need to earn a higher seed to make any headway in the tournament. This is UNLV. We want more.<br /><br />I don't know why Kruger didn't push the ball harder, or try two big men a little bit. The front line of Illinois killed us with their size. Q is really a power forward and Kruger is playing him out of position. Any team with a big front line gave us fits this year.Chrisnoreply@blogger.com
