McMillan and Anderson can really shoot the 3, so we’ll need to sit on them. Hawkins is probably better than Isaacs last year in terms of getting the offense moving. Toppin is really good, but I think we can match up with him pretty well - he will turn the ball over and he’s not a great passer (not bad though).
Like you said, the 3 pointers are their meal ticket against us.
i’d let Sharp either sit the next 4 games out or play this game vs Tech and sit the next 3 games out. I’m more worried about Tech at home than Baylor at home. But either way sit him at least 3 games and have him ready for Arizona. After the tech game that gives you 2 weeks of potential rest til Zona on the 15th.
I don’t think the decision for him to sit will be based on who we are playing. If they think he is healing while still out there he will play and if not, he will sit. My thought is he sits 1 maybe 2 games.
It does seem like they might need to take a different approach when evaluating whether he should play. He’s a tough dude and will say he’s good to go when a lot of other guys wouldn’t do it.
Sampson’s comment in the post-game tells me that he’s already leaning towards sitting him, and that Sharp is going to have to prove him wrong between now and Saturday.
From what I saw against WV, Sharp would be a liability on defense Saturday. I’m thinking he would also be a liability on O too. Rest him. Coogs can take it to TT while Sharp gets back to full power.
