In response to palestra38
Looked like the benching came after Ray’s bad turnover that led to an easy fast break basket for Dartmouth. Pretty sure Ray compounded the turnover by failing to pick up the right guy (or perhaps failing to get back at all) on defense. Sistare scored, Silpe appeared to be yelling at somebody (or maybe everybody, as he was the only one who got back), and Donahue called timeout. Out of the timeout, no more Ray.
That said, those two baskets were key, and as with Kuba, we have had a couple of instances of Ray suddenly appearing in the rotation and playing pretty well.
Maybe the plan yesterday was to just use him and Donahue in the first half anyway, but with no Wang it gets tough playing an iron six in an overtime game. If he really was a healthy matchup scratch, Donahue showed an almost inconceivable amount of fortitude (to use a nice word) in sticking to the plan through an 11 point deficit, OT, etc.
