Seattle vs. Weber

[ajwildcat]

I'm not sure if moving Bullinger to the 4 has helped him this season or not. He seems like the same player as last year at the 4. Should Bullinger be moved to the 4, Hughey the 3, and Bamforth starting at the 2, and Mahoney off the bench. Should Bamforth be starting over Bullinger? Probably not Hughey???
It just seems like we've been struggling, we probably should have beat Seattle by at least 20.
SUU and Tulsa are a little scary on the road the way we played Saturday and considering how we came back versus Drake.

What about this?

Either A. Bullinger come off the bench subbing for Fulton.

or B. Mahoney come off the bench subbing for Fulton. In other words, I think we should start Fulton.

With Bullinger coming off the bench-Morris at the 5, Mahoney at the 4, Byron Fulton at the 3, and Hughey at the 2 and Lillard at the point.

With Mahoney off the bench it would be Morris 5, Bullinger 4, Fulton 3, Hughey 2 and Lillard 1

Fulton has been playing very well, maybe we should give him a chance.

Bullinger will be a starter here for a long time barring injury or unless he screws up BIG TIME, Bullinger does alot of the little things VERY well. Plus he has the type of hard nose attitude that Randy Rahe loves. Fullton will see his time increase as the season goes on but I just don't see Bullinger being replaced in the starting lineup.

I agree with AJ. Bullinger is going to be a 4-year starter. I'm a little interested to see how the Wizard is going to incorporate Porter into the lineup since he is NOW eligible. Also, there is a huge different between Fulton and Mahoney...Fulton isn't the defensive player that Mahoney is. However, he does have some great moves on the offensive side of the ball, and he will only get better. He, too bad for USU fans, is a lot like Tai Wesley.

Lillard
Hughey
Bullinger
Mahoney
Morris

Richardson
Bamforth
Porter
Fulton
Tresnak

The 2nd team has three Freshman on it and 2 sophmores and its probably better or as talented as a lot of the Big Sky's Starting 5. I feel bad for Davis. I know he has skills, but he probably wont ever get much playing time.

I agree Bullinger brings a lot of intangibles. The combination of Morris Mahoney Bullinger can be offensively awful, like it
was against Utah when all 3 combined for 6 points. Hopefully Morris has more nights like against Seattle, chances are he'll be up and down like Panos was. There is a slight trend developing however:
ASU Bullinger 18 min-------Bamforth 24 min
Drake Bullinger 16 min--------- Bamforth 31 min

and now throw Porter in the mix...

Bullinger is a bigger body and better defensively than Porter or Bamforth, but isn't that why Mahoney is starting?
