if it aint broke dont fix it. polley as 6th man provides much needed bench scoring. no one else can do that consistently. he's our terrence ross.

defense and rebounding are still this team's bread and butter. hurley sticks with this lineup unless akok gets back to full strength. then he starts at PF and whaley shifts to C.

Polley annihilates Marquette

Agreed but the whole team contributed too. Their defense and rebounding were spectacular in the last 15 minutes.

I couldn't be happier for Polley. He needed a solid outing to regain his confidence which he accomplished last night in spades. He wasn't just a shooter but he also attacked the rim when needed & snatched a few timely boards. If he continues with solid play it will go along way in relieving pressure off of Bouknight.

The threes, the coast to coast, the pump fake and drive for a layup and a pump fake and pull up tear drop.
He had it all.

Polley's ability to guard Garcia was very very impressive. HUGE because we don't always need two traditional bigs against the Marquettes, Xaviers and Seton Halls of the Big East who regularly play two capable bigs.

Especially the coast to coast. Folks here said he couldn't do that.

It was incredible. No one thought about getting in front of him until he was at the rim and the they just tried to grab him

Which was always the weird one for me when I'd read that from other posters. Seemed to me like he was always good for one of those each game. Or at least catch the outlet pass at halfcourt and take it to the rim on the fast break.

For me it was the take it to the rim in the halfcourt after a pump fake that I wanted to see him do more often. The drive to the rim when you know there is a defender between you and two points or a foul.
