The hardest part for Greg Gard this season is figuring out what combination of players he can trust on any given night. It seems as if he has just a few players he is reasonably confident can go in there and handle top-tier opponents; the rest is a roll of the dice. After beating the final non-conference opponent of the season, Milwaukee, in a final score of 80-60, Greg Gard opened up about his thinking when it comes to the bench.
He now has Zach Kinziger in the mix and essentially backing up Nick Boyd. In fact, he said, that's the plan with Kinziger to have him give Boyd spells and even help to reset if things need to be reset.
