Look, odds are the exact same lineup against LSU will be the lineup rolled out for the first game. But I see your point and agree with you. I guess the problem is if you go big, someone will lose the starting spot, it won't be Howard, won't be Shel or Gordon for sure, so it comes down to Veas or Nored. If it were me I leave Veas in the lineup and use Nored's energy off the bench. He can still be very effective in that role and still get a lot of minutes. I think either one would be fine as a 6th man. Question would be if Veas, as a Senior, would accept the role. I am good with either one being the 6th man and adding one hell of a spark off the bench. Maybe it would be smarter to have it be Veas, seeing that he can come in and play the 3 or the 4 (against smaller teams) so there is more flexibility.

I completely agree Nored's potential is high and I am sure he will only get better the next three years. I think either one would be dynamite off the bench. If they would be willing to accept the role.

If he is going to keep playing that well on an international stage, I sure wish they would get his damn name right.

As far as the earlier discussion, we have been able to rebound and compete with bigger teams in the past few years, but now we have the chance to match them athletically that we probably have never seen at Butler. Just hope we take advantage of it.
