Coach says: “We have experienced guards and Josh Morgan’s an experienced big. We have a different type team where we’ll play more four-guard lineups than we have in the past and spread the floor, probably shoot mores 3s as a result of that. … We’ll have 10 scholarship players available on Monday so we’re a lean roster right now.” –Andy Enfield
