Looking forward to the rematch. It seemed like there was a bit of home cooking from the refs the other day in Birmingham, so it'll be nice to have the rematch on our own home court this time. I would REALLY like to see Insell start using the bench a bit more. I get that he has a great starting line-up that he trusts but it's important to get the bench some quality playing time in games where things aren't close. Let's say we get up by 20 - substitute Grannum and Latorre in, and Taylor Lewis and Amanda Whittington on the guard position. How are they gonna learn by sitting on the bench? It will only help for later in the year when we may need them in a late game or tournament situation. Plus, the playing two games in two (or so) days really tires out the five starters it appears. Why would we not want to balance out the workload a bit? Guess we'll see. It seems to be Insell's style though...
