After two games the shorter rotation has been a success. Muller has sent messages to both freshmen and let them get their heads/legs right. It sure worked with TB last night. Hopefully, we see the same from EC on Saturday. I would like to see one game with EC getting Hein's minutes. That would allow me to make a better judgment on those two.,

I agree. I had put earlier in this thread fans wanted to see the same rotation but with Elijah in for Hein. Though I would like it, again, not a knock on Hein just see more upside from the freshmen, I don't see it happening. Hein has played the 7th most minutes on the team for a reason. Muller likes him. Hein played more within himself last night, and only had 1 turnover. I don't like having a 3* PG chilling on the bench, when he could be getting experience to become one of the most dominate PGs this conference has seen. 6'4 and EXPLOSIVE! He just needs to slow down a bit. I started to see that a little in the last game he played in.
The shorter rotation has been successful, I want Ike, Taylor, and Elijah, all in that 9-man rotation. I'd hate to see any of these guys but especially Eljiah transfer out because he isn't seeing the minutes he needs to in order to develop. I think he would be first off the bench if he never had the injury that put him on the shelf. He is really only in his second month of D1 basketball.
Clarence is still trying to figure out what he can get away with at this level, and what his role is. At PG he isn't facilitating the offense yet. He is trying to create his own shot, and it takes everybody else out of the game. I think he could give good minutes, but it needs to be mostly off ball. He played better in the Bradley game when Muller moved him to the wing.
Rotation changed last night cause both Fayne and Yarbrough were in foul trouble. Only made sense to bring a big in to replace them given how well mo st rebounds. So in that situation it was Taylor rather than Clarance. Hein actually played pretty well, within himself. Only took one shot and he was wide open. Got FIVE rebounds which was a definite plus. Wasn’t turning the ball over. Just was a situation where EC wasn’t the first option. Could and will likely change game to game. Madison is now healthy too and
Playing really well which limits EC’s opportunities as well
