Jackson produced in limited minutes last year. That was a head scratcher last year. I'm not surprised now that he has more minutes.
I think we need a deep bench but if you look at the minutes distribution from the Loyola game there weren't many spare minutes beyond the starters. We had two guys play one minute lol. Can't do much in that time frame. I'm still pleased with all those guys who played. We just need a way to not be so porous on the perimeter. Mac seemed to let guys play through some fouls they just need to be more aggressive on Defense if that's the case.
We also have Injuries to a couple guys that also limit our depth. All in all I think we're in a much better place than in the first two years under Mac.
I don't mind the occasional long jumper from a productive player like Knight, just not near the end of the game. We definitely need to get the ball to our shooters in those instances.
