Have we heard who those 5 will be? Or will we not know until right before tip?

Tune into the pre game show and I am sure Dan Hoard will announce it, and he'll talk to Mick before the game for confirmation. Nothing is known as of now.

They don't normally announce until around gametime. I would expect Cash, Dion, SK, JJ, and Gates. I expect Parker to be the first guy off the fence and the 4 guard offense used as a change of pace.

Gates may end playing a lot of minutes but I'd assume they'll stick with whats working... Cash, Dixon, Kilpatrick, Parker and Jackson.

No way gates should start. It's a smack in the face to those guys who played picked up the slack in his absence. Let him come of the bench. The bench needs some firepower anyway.

I agree, start with the 5 that have earned it and let Gates earn it off the bench. With that said, I'll be surprised if Gates doesn't log more minutes than JJ tonight.

b, off topic. I love your G-man logo!

Just so long as they cover #0, I don't care who stsrts. That kid is shooting about 50% from behind the arc.

ND buried us last year in the Big East tournament. I hope our guys are carrying a grudge.

I would expect Gates to come off the bench to a rousing cheer from the crowd in attendance.

If you couldn't come in and have a big night with that as an introduction, then somethings is wrong with you.

They should have "mama said knock you out" ready to go as well.

Cash, Parker, SK, and Dixon are locks. The real question come from do you start Gates or Jackson. Either way I expect Yancy to play around 20 plus minutes.
