Mark Pope was asked after last night’s win over Indiana why Andrija Jelavic didn’t play in the game.
Pope explained in his words, that it was essentially a “did not play – coach’s decision.”
“I actually had no idea where the rotation was going to go today. I didn’t know how Kam was going to feel on the court today and I had no idea how Mo was going to feel on the court today,” Pope explained. “I did feel like there was space for Jelavic to be really effective in this game and I felt like it made sense and he’s our most effective post player especially at the 4 and this mucked up game kind of felt that way. The game just kind of told us where to go and the guys responded pretty well. I expect Jela is going to help us in the future for sure.”
Pope went on to explain that Collin Chandler, Jasper Johnson and Trent Noah had their minutes shortened against the Hoosiers.
