SS, KD, DP, and KP are the reason we've won 5 NCAA games the past 2 years. That is the core group that is going to get us back there. Throw in CC who has already proven he can make up for Sibert's production. That's your starting 5 and the guys you want on the court in crunch time.

What you say at the very end is correct about crunch time. But the guys you start aren't necessarily your crunch time players. Remember the name Vee Sanford. The thing you don't want is KP and DP on your bench at crunch time because they've fouled out. To me, having a guy come off the bench to give you a spark at the first media timeout is a huge lift. Archie might not go that route, but I also don't think he'd be afraid to go that route, and it wouldn't surprise me to see Pollard or Davis really respond well to it. And as long as they get their minutes and the team is winning, they won't be complaining.
