Yes this is the move. Reece’s health is more important in the long run vs aggravating it vs JMU.

Reece gets his rest. Kihadists get a moral victory if Kihei wins us the JMU game with Reece out and get to yell their rally cry of “People wanted him gone but he’s winning us games/retire his jersey/greatest to ever do it”. And if we lose to JMU Kihaters will get to revel in their “He’s short and he overdribbles” narrative. And @DavetheWave will bask in the joy of posting the defensive efficiency stats post game showing Kihei dead last or something like that

If sitting him Tuesday would help enough to matter they would’ve sat him today. He plays.

It was Tony’s ACC opener streak on the table.

That’s when he secretly shows the team pre-game the hidden 6th pillar titled “I need this dub by any means”

Also would force IMac and Dunn to be more aggressive defensively

I’m on team sit. And, whatever any of us felt about Kihei coming back, Reece’s ankle demonstrates what we all know intuitively: You have to have a backup PG. Having one with Kihei’s experience and talent is absolutely huge.

JMU is one of the best teams on our schedule this year … they are probably the best offensive team we’ll face all season.
JMU
ORtg: 121.2 (5th of 363)

DRtg: 84.0 (18th of 363)

I bask in the joy of winning…
Do I wish we were taller and more athletic? Yes… no basking in showing data that our short starting 5 struggles on both ends vs length

Hmmmm interesting. I’m worried about the JMU after today, but this must be where the analytics gives a false idea about the team we’re playing. You think JMU is gonna be a better offensive team than Baylor and Illinois? I doubt it, and I don’t care what the numbers say.

JMU has 4 guys shooting threes at 50% or better… and another guy at 47%

Yeah, they will be tough to beat for sure. Especially because it seems like we have a tough job at times contesting the three ball.
Who is JMU’s best win?
