Any relief Martin can give opens up the rotation more so don't put much into the starters. My take, the less time he plays, the more likely we see the 3 bigs somewhere in this game. I'm wondering if Haugh can defend Kugel and keep him away from the basket without fouling. But Martin's playing time also helps the bigs. If he's on the court more, it gives Haugh more time to support our 3 other bigs in case of fouls.
OH how I would love to see a relaxed and fun group play even better together and burn starkville to the ground, blowing out the bulldogs. And yet thrilled even with a meager one point win.
