The table below shows who played well and who did not.
The "must play" backcourt of Greer and Buie got a pathetic 2 minutes together. We got outscored 6-4.

The dreaded combo of Young with Beran, got stomped 16-8 in 7 minutes.
The productive combo of Young with Williams played well (again), winning 11-5 in 7 minutes.
Audige and Beran were terrible, yet they both played the last 5:16.
Ryan Young sat on the bench for the last 9 minutes after getting the better of John Harrar, who simply obliterated Pete Nance.
Collins keeps out-blundering himself.
The "starters" got outscored 26-16 in 12 minutes of action.
Some simple rules for Coach Collins...
Do not play Young with Beran.
Do not play Roper with Berry unless you have to.
Play Buie and Greer together, but never with Audige.
Play Audige, Berry and Nance together.
Some suggestions for Coach Collins...
Play Nance with Nicholson. PLEASE. Just try it. They won't fire you. Nobody is even watching.
Play Nance with Young. Duh.
Play Nance and Young with Beran, just once, I'm begging you.
