In the radio postgame interview Coach K said they hadn't practiced that tiny lineup either.

That really surprises me.

HA! I win, the small lineup does well!!!!!

okay, kidding...i just had to do that for Jumbo's sake.

Note that the small line up youd think we'd use, (Paulus-Scheyer-Nelson-Henderson-Singler) was not used all game...

Anyhow, as it is, it seems clear that certain matchups will be better vs certain teams...vs a wisconsin or michigan, a more small lineup will be effective, whereas vs others, lance or zou may be more useful.

I've been saying since roughly May that Paulus-Scheyer-Nelson-Henderson-Singler would be the lineup Duke uses to finish games, so I'm not sure why you're calling me out.
