Is Felder hurt or something? Is there a reason that his minutes are as limited as they are?

Some stats that may shock some of you:

Felder averages superior numbers per 100 possessions to both Gravett and Notice in the following categories:

Points Scored
Shots Blocked
Steals
Rebounds
Assists

How is Notice still starting? How is Gravett first off the bench? Unless there is some injury preventing playing time which there very well may be, I don't know why this guy doesn't play more.

Notice starts because he's our best defender beside Thornwell. He's actually the best defender in the whole country stat wise. Or that's what one of the announcers were saying the other game. I think Dozier's back spasms have been bothering him since the UK game because he's looked like a different player since then.

Yep Coach Martin is a "all about defense" guy. If you play great defense but can't score, you'll get consistent minutes. If you play great offense but can't defend, you'll play minimal minutes. Which is confusing to me, because after entering SEC play as one of the best defensive teams in the nation statistically, our defense has into the deep end. SEC opponents are out-shooting us, out-rebounding us, and if it keeps up, they'll be out-scoring us too.

But, I didn't come into this season thinking we'd be 16-2 in conference play, or even 15-3. We're still in solid shape but we need to get off this bad track we've been on for a while now.....
