They do have a pretty large lineup though. In years past I would be worried but I love the way our bigs are playing.

Let's get hot shooting out of the gate boys and keep some great momentum going.

I think this is a smart move by Matta. You have 9 that can play. Get them all a little time at least in the first half and see who's got the hot hand. Then ride them in the second half and only sub sparingly if that's what he prefers to do. That way they all get minutes and experience which this team absolutely needs a ton of.
