On if he still expects to have a fluctuating lineup moving forward:
“We still are trying to get the best rotation going within our team that is what we have to figure out and I was really proud of VJ because he has always been more of an offensive minded player so I thought he came out and did a really nice job to start the game on McKinley Wright, who is arguably one of the best players in the Pac-12 and best players in the country, but I thought VJ set a really good tone for our team and making him work, and also getting it going offensively a little bit. I knew that because of the respect we have for Colorado that we would have to play some guys some heavy minutes, because right now what you don’t want to do is let those young guys get out there and make so many mistakes it just lingers in their mind for a long time and so we were trying to let them stay out as long as we could, but then you start seeing the patterns that develop in practice and you got to get them out, but I can see the lineup staying like this for a while or changing it, again we have to figure out our pattern and we don’t have it yet I can tell you that.”
