LT you do know that UAB has lost 4 players in the past week or so, 2 left the team for unspecified reasons, and 2 are out because of grades. they are down to like 6 scholarship players.
IMO that's why UofL had such an easy time with them. I think they only had 8 maybe 9 players against UofL. Their whole team revolves around Vaden, if teams run a lot of traps on him and keep pressure on him and push the tempo of the game it will wear on UAB's lack of depth off the bench.

LKid, Vaden is far from the only stud UAB has. Paul Delaney, Lawrence Kinnard, and Channing Toney are all solid guards.

i wasn't trying to insinuate that Vaden is the only good player and I wasn't trying to say it was a bad play for LT. I should of been more clear about what i was trying to say. I didn't have money on that game so i had no opinion. I was just pointing out for whoever that UAB's bench is short now. I know Butler isn't known as a pressing and up-tempo team, but i was just trying to point out something that some people might not of read, cause the players weren't starters and only one was giving significant minutes. I know UAB's starting five can hang with just about anyone, but when they come across certain teams as mentioned, that bench could be a problem.
Like against UofL, I wanted to play my Cards after reading about UAB, but i was still worried about how the new line-up change was going to work, but alot of friends who were taking UAB, i was pointing out that info to them and they were still saying UAB would hang and/or beat UofL, and look what happened , Vaden got harassed and pressured and the rest of the starting 5 just wore down with having that short bench.
but i won't point out anything anymore, since everyone is an expert and are all knowing.
