Stays on bench Sunday Howard did not see the court for the Yellow Jackets in Sunday's upset victory over Kentucky. Impact While Howard was left out of the starting five for the first time this season, it wasn't necessarily expected that he wouldn't see the court at all. Howard ultimately gave way to a red-hot Moses Wright at center while coach Josh Pastner rounded out his lineup with four more guards. The Yellow Jackets ultimately only used seven players in the contest, with Khalid Moore (15 minutes) being the first forward off the bench. Considering this rotation and alignment resulted in the program's first victory of the season, plus it was in by far its toughest matchup, it wouldn't be surprising to see Pastner roll out a similar game plan moving forward, though it will presumably be dictated by the opposing big men thrown his way.
