Fran won't make any changes but this team needs a wake up call IMO. Next game Fran needs to go with a new starting 5. Bowen is young but exponentially more capable of making baskets than Ulis. Connor needs to shoot more. Dix is gaining confidence, doesn't hurt the team and cannot be worse than Perkins/Sandfort. Rebraca is playing his ass off but is going to face sagging defenders until perimeter shots start falling. Fran has to get out of this mindset that guys are going to shoot themselves out of slumps--it's not working. Get back to drive and kick with guys moving the ball--basically what Nebraska did last night.

Sprinkle in Ulis, Sandfort, Pmac, and Perkins as needed and while this will never happen, Fran needs to get of the X with Josh and Mulvey. Neither is a great option but they aren't getting better riding the pine and Rebraca is going to wear down. I would throw Kingsbury out there as well to see what he can do. Watching Pmac, Ulis, Sandfort, and Perkins squander all their PT has gotten old already.

PS-Perkins needs to can the green shoes. Dude looks absolutely ridiculous and his play does not support the gaudy fashion statement. 20 shoe options that are some combination of black, white, gold, yellow, etc., and he goes with green.

Revised starting 5:

Bowen
Connor
Dix
Rebraca
Kris
