Sanford has 6 points. Is everyone really that sold on this guy? One of the biggest games he'll ever play in and he puts up 6 points.

**Stardust** · 03-20-2009, 10:07 PM

Vee Sanford never got going tonight. He’s 2-for-16 and has 6 points.

Fair, but he is playing against a team of D1 athletes. It's easy to shut down one guy if he has no support. Holmes has concentrated on Vee

Even a need for a timeout when you're down that many with only 3 left?

Benches cleared
