This was it. These players had 1/3rd of the season to carve out a niche for themselves in this rotation, and this Texas Southern game was the final audition.
As I said before, this is why Wade was so mad. I don’t think he wanted to go into this season-defining stretch with this many unanswered questions.
But here we are, almost finished with the non-conference slate, and Wade is looking at a few guys he was counting on to be major rotational pieces on the outside looking in. To be blunt about it, I’m wondering if Wade is realizing he might be stuck with a 7-man rotation at this point.
