Any theories as to why so few mins for him?
Henry only played 14 mins vs Yale

If we're being honest, Henry hasn't been that good this season and should have had his minutes reduced a long time ago. 
Just a few sequences where he wasn't on the same page defensively.
Wasn't giving the team the best chance to win.
Gotta rest him to box out the twin towers (7'1 and 7'0) of Michigan.
Pharrel Payne and Henry usually split the 40 minutes at the 5, and you saw how well Pharrel was playing last night.
Henry needs space to be effective and Yale was absolutely not going to give it to us. The paint was just incredibly crowded. Payne doesn't need as much space because he's both plays (and is) a lot bigger than Coleman but he can also go get the ball vertically.
Just wasn't a good game flow and matchup for him with the way Yale was playing. It absolutely was a good game flow and matchup for Payne though.
I expect he'll play quite a bit more against Michigan.

This is probably most of it. There were times tho that we needed stops and I feel like he's one of our more active defenders. Not a rim protector like Payne but Jace and Hefner got more mins than normal as well.
Bobinator's point about they were packing the lane and so we were spreading out more probably explains Jace and Hefner's mins.

Coleman is limited on offense but I am guessing he and Payne will be playing alot of minutes together in the next game just because of the opponent.

Good Henry is a nice player. The other Henry not so much. Jekyl and Hyde.
Will need Henry's physicality vs Michigan twin bigs much more than we needed him vs Yale.
It's about matchups.
A&M's all time leading rebounder has an important role for the Ags in the NCAAT

I don't recall him being bad Henry last night tho. Maybe I missed something.
It seems like it pisses Buzz off (and most of the fanbase) when Henry shoots a fadeaway, one-legged jumper from 15 feet. He doesn't play much after that. LOL
He combined for 21 points and 23 rebounds against LSU and Texas to end the year.

what's great about our team is he didn't have to play a lot last night for us to get the win. it is one of our teams biggest strengths. every night it is someone different. coleman played really well down the stretch. we didn't need him last night we may in the next game. tbis team is made up of a bunch of we players they just want to win. that's why it is so easy to root for this team they play for the name on the front of the jersey not the name on the back. very rare these days.
Also, he'd never admit it, but I do think Buzz played that game with an eye to our next game. Only Garcia played more than 30 minutes and Taylor was the only other player over 25.
And at no point was Yale really a threat to win it.

No question about it depth and different skills available from different players is a team strength for us.
I didn't feel that way when they cut it to single digits and the one guy looked to be feeling it from behind the arc but the Ags did a good job keeping them at arm's length.
Yeah they had that little mini run, but I don't think they ever even got it closer than 6.

i got a little nervous as well but when jace carter started making shots i knew it was going to be our night.
It's a match up thing and we didn't need him to rebound the basketball because we were hitting our shots from inside the arc.
Because Payne was so effective in the paint, we didn't need him to clog the lane even more.

I disagree, I think Henry's been very good for us this year. He's playing like an experienced senior and always provides good leadership on the court.
If TexAgs got to collectively coach we'd play most games with three guys on the floor.

Michigan has some pretty big dudes. Not sure there's going to be more space in the paint for him to operate

But their guards will actually guard us instead of hanging out down there too. Just too many bodies around against Yale. Some of Coleman's better games have been against big teams because they have to come guard him in the high post and that little one dribble move he has is more effective. Especially if they're lumbering bigs and not super athletic ones.

Would Michigan count as a "big team"?
I like it that alot of our players (like Henry) rotated in and out do that minutes for some were reduced - and all (except perhaps Payne- who played more minutes that typical) should be relatively fresh for Saturday's game.
We'll need him against Michigan's bigs

Yes. Our bigs are markedly smaller (even Payne) but markedly more athletic. Classic matchup. We'll see.
He played well early and then got lazy on a few possessions
we dont have bigs that can shoot or dribble like Wolff canCapCityAg89 said:Fanatic15...Drs2B! said:bobinator said:

Wolff is not a typical post player. He can move , dribble, and shoot 3's. He'll be a problem imo. Goldin more your typical post player.
If I had to pick one thing that this comes down to it's whether we can force turnovers. Michigan is gonna make shots against us. But if we are our usual selves on the boards then we can make up for it with rebounding and turnovers.
Michigan is VERY turnover prone, especially Wolf. He has a turnover rate five points higher than anyone on our team.

I agree with you with regard to turnovers being a big key in this game . Michigan turns it over a lot but their turnover to assist ratio is still better than ours mostly because our assists are on the low end
This games feels like pretty close to an even matchup to me. Apparently Vegas thinks so as well. Probably going to be a stressful game to watch.

Turnovers and offensive rebounds.
Those will both give us the extra possessions we want
Well yeah but that's because our assist percentage is terrible. We're #297 in assist rate. The only major conference team in the tournament with fewer assists per game than us is Houston.
I'd say if we are going to win we need to be something like +5 on both turnovers and rebounds and that may be low.
