I’d love to see some highlights when JC was on the floor. Makes you wonder if he will see more floor time moving forward when Cook returns.
If he plays, and Cooks and Simmons return, we could use ten players in games, which is a lot by our standards. There aren't highlights on YouTube. It's unfortunate that yesterday did not have video, and our win at UCLA was on Pac-12 Networks with no free or paid way to watch online if you did not get Pac-12 Networks from your TV provider.
Iyiola passed Cramer in minutes, 19.6 to 19.4. Iyiola averages 2.0 more points and over double the rebounds, some statistics are close, and Cramer's small advantage is more blocked shots 0.9 to 0.5. They started 6 games each, and it's clear Iyiola deserves to start. We've had a lot of seasons where one starting forward changed. In 2017-2018, Joel Angus III lost his starting spot and then got injured, which made Stafford Trueheart start. In 2018-2019, Trueheart started 9 games before Tareq Coburn became a starter. Last season David Green started 8 games before Cramer became a starter. So far Cramer is copying Trueheart by becoming a starter during his redshirt freshman season and losing his starting spot to a transfer during his sophomore season.
The attendance of 14,685 was the highest since 20,112 saw us lose at Louisville on November 12, 2013. It was our seventh highest regular season attendance since 1998-1999. The America East has the attendance for our 2000 NCAA Tournament game against Oklahoma State that was 19,351, but does not have the attendance for our 2001 NCAA Tournament game against UCLA. The other higher attendances were 16,300 at Kansas on November 13, 2009; 18,013 at Syracuse on December 22, 2006; 19,460 at Syracuse on December 30, 2004; 17,950 at Maryland on November 29, 2003; and 15,614 at Syracuse on December 4, 2001. Among the teams we went to during that time with lower attendances are Notre Dame, Connecticut, St. John's, UCLA (only 4,836), Providence, Georgia Tech (the attendance was 918 and I wonder if it is missing a digit), California, Purdue, Gonzaga, and North Carolina State; albeit some of them have capacities under 14,685.
