What's up with Lecomte minutes

[MiamiJoe]

He comes off his best game ever vs ND and has played 15 and 12 minutes the last 2 games. His quickness against the press is incredible but he must have done something wrong to lose that many minutes.

Coach is going with Reed as the 3rd guard, so Manu's minutes are going to be less.

This. I'm pretty sure I read that Coach L said in the pregame presser for NC State that we were going to go bigger against them. Playing Reed at the 3, along with increased minutes for ICU supported that approach.

Coach said he was going with a bigger lineup against ND, and that's why Reed was in there. He also goes with the hot hand, and if Manu misses his first couple of shots, and Coach wants length, Manu isn't going to get many more chances.

In crunch time at ND I would rather have had him than Reed
