I think Terry is settling into his lineup. Man, if only Weaver had played 25 minutes against UCF instead of 4, I have no doubt we would have won. Weaver is great when another team is making a run because he can match their energy. Horton... can't.
I have to think that was because Horton was playing against his previous team. I'm sure that isn't lost on the players and maybe they are playing harder now because of it.
Regardless, I think at this point we have a clear "best" five. I don't care who starts, but we have to give these guys the most minutes: Abmas, Hunter, Weaver, Mitchell, Disu. They should all be getting 32-35 minutes a game. Horton and Brock can split the remaining 15-20 minutes at the 1-3 spots. Shedrick and Onyema can split the 10-15 minutes available at the 4-5.
Here are the minutes against Baylor and OU respectively
Abmas - 39, 36
Hunter - 34, 28
Weaver - 19, 28
Mitchell - 35, 34
Disu - 24, 34
Horton - 20, 22
Brock - 10, 11
Shedrick - 16, 4
Chris Johnson - 4, 2
Onyema - 0, 1 (a very important minute tonight IMO)
I think that is about right. Disu is going to get mid 30s if he can stay out of foul trouble. Tonight was the first game he had fewer than 4 fouls since his minutes restriction was lifted. Teams are clearly going at him. He CANNOT foul so much if we are going to have any chance.
