I told the guys [on Monday], the guys that are going to defend the best these two days in practice are going to get a chance to play. I thought we had nine guys that defended well in practice and I wanted to get them in.

14 guys played, so who worked the hardest in practice?

The following graph is the difference between the each player's average playing time, and the playing time they saw against Tech. So Josh Carter averages 27.9 minutes a game but he only played 18 minutes on Wed, so the difference is -9.9.

Seven guys saw more than average playing time (to be expected in a blow out), but three had significant increases: Holmes, Lewis, and Beau. If you follow A&M, you were not that surprised to see Holmes and Beau in the game; they had seen action in over twenty games. But Lewis is a different story. Before Wednesday's game, he had only played 61 seconds of Big 12 basketball (the final 1:01 of the K-State debacle), and the only ink he has had before last night was his his waffling after BG left.

Given all of that I would say Lewis worked the hardest.
