When your program is under-funded (I didn't know until a few weeks ago that Wofford only funded 11 schollies--that is a serious liability and only strengthens my opinion of the job that Mike Young does) and you add injuries on top of that it makes things very difficult. Davidson has 13 scholarship players. Two were out with injuries. Coach McKillop chose not to use the other two. I'm not sure how much Nichols would have helped. A healthy Dahlman would have helped a lot. The rebounding disparity last night was large. Personally, I'll be cheering for Wofford to grab the #6 or #7 seed. I don't want them in the 8/9 or 4/5 games if Davidson gets the #1.

Like I said, I was unaware until recently that those limitations included fewer scholarships than the rest of the conference. I've always felt that the rash of injuries at Wofford could be blamed in part on the number of minutes that your better players are forced to play (and practice). That argument is stronger in light of the fact that you have just 11 schollies. That increass the exposure of your players to injury in practice and games. Any idea when Wofford will bump the number of basketball scholarships up by 18%?
