51.   Who will emerge as the starting five?

52.   With a starting five that is among the smallest in the league, Calipari knows the importance of having a big unit available when necessary.

53.   Without a true superstar on the roster, the Wildcats rely on balanced scoring from a starting five and a strong bench to overwhelm the opposition.

54.   A more likely change would be to remove Chris Dudley from the starting five in favor of Kurt Thomas or Marcus Camby.

55.   Despite sightseeing and some disco visits by both teams, Miller still had enough free time to announce his all-time trash-talking starting five.

56.   Dunn said he rested his starting five as much as possible to give the whole roster some court time in a bid to work on some consistency.

57.   Ellis started for the second straight game as Minnesota coach Flip Saunders went with a small lineup by removing Rasho Nesterovic from the starting five.

58.   Juwan Howard and perhaps Michael Smith are the only career starters in the starting five, and Smith had been a bench player this season until last week.

59.   Lohaus, acquired eight days earlier in a trade with San Antonio, replaced Charles Oakley in the starting five.

60.   Mouton figured to be a role player this season, but was thrust into the starting five in the fifth game of the season.
