Been expecting that change. He played almost 2X

Beran’s minutes last game and obviously is contributing very well with rebounds and defense. Beran contributes defense but has not been a factor on offense, at least so far. CMY needs to find a way to get Tyler Nickel integrated into the offense and producing buckets. If Nickel continues low production on offense then I’d like to see CMY go instead with Long at 3, Beran 4 and Kidd/Poteat @ 5 at least getting our best defenders on the floor. Collins sub for Long when he goes to 4 or goes out. (When Beran goes out move Long to 4 and play Collins at 3). I think we need Long on the floor 30+ minites a game. He probably pulls down double digit boards every game if left in the game that long.

On TTL last night, MY said he expects Mekhi Long to start vs. Valpo.**

I believe he started the 2nd half in the last game?**

Not having Pedulla today could change things.**

I wouldn't be surprised if it is for Nickel...

I like two dribblers out there at all times.

I'm surrpsied with the role of Collins as backup PG now
GretnaHokie 12/08/23 06:22 PM ET
I was as well. I think that was just a temp thing IMO.

It could definitely continue...

I would like to see us run some Cattoor-like actions for Nickel

Just glad to see CMY isnt overcommitted to the same 5 forever
Vippie1 12/08/23 04:39 PM ET
I don't know exactly where he fits, but I love his game.

The kind of athleticism we need more of!**

Water finds its own level and the puzzle parts tend to come together. I

I’d like to see him, Beran, and Kidd on the floor more

Don't think Collins is "clearly" Pedullas backup.
mygreenbaypackers 12/08/23 05:15 PM ET
They tried this sparingly with Auburn and I **think** some with FAU
GCHokie34 12/08/23 05:04 PM ET
Beran has to give us something for this lineup to work otherwise you are

MY is really hesitant to play Long at the wing, but seems like....
vtbball80 12/08/23 02:46 PM ET
He’s been getting more minutes at the 4 past few games
millmtnhokie 12/08/23 02:15 PM ET
Yep. Collins will probably be the first man off the bench.
RJHokie 12/08/23 01:58 PM ET
Pedulla, Cattoor, Nickel, Long, Kidd should be the starting 5 imo**
kingofcassell 12/08/23 01:43 PM ET
Yes, but Nickel is gonna to have to prove worth on the offensive end....
bghokie 12/08/23 04:36 PM ET
Nickel needs to be 6th man while he gains experience and has some
