When Bobby yelled to put in Lewis near the end of the 1st half, it may signal Mitch’s demise for the rest of the year as far as playing time. The announcers commented a number of times about how surprised Lewis was to be getting the playing time. Has Mitch finally worn out his welcome? He just plays so scared. I mean, he was once considered at Top 50 high school recruit…what the hell happened?
Analysts were wrong. He is small, timid, can’t shoot, and can’t run an offense.
I liked Mitch’s drive and dish for our first points of the game. He vanished after that.

They saw 4.3/4.4 speed and a 40 inch vert that dominates kids in high school.
I think Mitch needs some support instead of people doubting him. Let’s show him some backing and support instead of doubting him. GO MITCH! GO NINERS!
He hit free throws and a lay up towards the end when we needed it.

See? Support Mitch! He needs more confidence! We can help!
Mitch is terrible, yea lets support a terrible player when it is obvious we would be better off with Bennett in the game…
I like Mitch but at this point he should come off the bench. Lee has shown he can run the show and BENNETT is MONEY!!! At this point in the season, we need to go with Lee-Marcus.

With no room for error the rest of the way, how can you give mitch all those quality minutes? You just can’t.
Agree. It should be Lee and Bennet with Mitch off the bench. Mitch is a super nice guy. Let’s just praise Lee and Bennet. Then we don’t have to bash Mitch.
Lutz in his comments said it is tough finding time for Bennett. He said he is too small playing the 3 to give DA a breather.
He did not even contemplate subbing Mitch.
Well, I now understand Lutz will never ever bench Mitch in favor of putting Bennett in the 2 spot.
Let me just say that Mitch is terrible. I remember all of his high school hype. What a joke. He is a nice guy, but that doesn’t mean that he is a quality PG. It is time to start looking for a replacement for the future.

lutz is clueless then, its worth a try anyway at this point we have nothing to lose and his lack of doing this may just be what has cost us so many losses this season.
I have confidence in coach Lutz to decide who gets the start and playing time.
I don’t know…anyone that plays Iti that many minutes has to be questioned.
Coach said in the post game comments that he WILL be finding more time for Bennett in the rotation. He said he earned it.
Iti started but only to maintain any remaining confidence he had. If you remember, Nance started getting half the minutes and Drayton started vs State.
I think we’ll see split time between Leemire, Bennett and Baldwin. Clearly Bennett is superior offensively but he and Lee would get worn down playing 35 each.
I just hope it doesn’t come at the expense of Leemire. And is it just me, or is the couple of minutes Lewis played, he made a couple of good decisions…driving and the assist.
