What would you think of using Pope situationally as a sub rather than as a starter?

I think a 10-8 conference record will make us almost a lock. 9-9 could do it if we somehow beat Arky or Florida.

I wouldn't, but just me. His floor spacing requirement is a key part of the offensive success of Texas. Opponents game plan to not let him get clean looks, so he's defended out to 25 feet. He's a double figure scorer on average for two years running in the SEC, and plays to his role.

Texas will be a lock at 9-9 barring a bunch of conference tournament upsets
