Scoochie's foul trouble contributed but 10 min. that Crosby played in the first half and 5 min. in the second half were exactly when the game was lost with 10-0 runs both times by UMass. I agree with your assessment that he's not solid enough to handle 15-20 minutes a game with no major dropoff in team performance.
Archie was going to leave Crosby in for the balance of the first half but at the 3:49 mark he was forced to put Scoochie back in with the 2 fouls after Pipkens had just picked John's pocket for an easy layup and Jarreau drove right around him to go up double digits. We then cut the lead back to 7 at the half.
I hope we can locate a good 5th year PG! Either that, or hope that McKinley Wright is as good as Scoochie was his freshman year!

The other option is a JUCO transfer--they would be eligible right away and wouldn't have to sit out a year.
