Despite all that went down yesterday let us not forget our team is nowhere near 100% physically as Geo is still not back to 100%; RHJ sprained his ankle this week; JY is still hurting from the fall last week; Caleb saw his first action yesterday;Mag is just getting back and still has barely played; and of course Cliff is still out; So give us a full healthy squad and we will be fine going forward

You nailed it especially considering we got to where we are at, rankings-wise, without being at 100%!

Having Cliff still out greatly impedes Myles' aggressiveness on the defensive front. Both he and the staff know that without Cliff being able to eat up minutes, Myles has even less margin for error than ever in picking up dumb fouls.

Caleb’s return is a massive development. Had he been available for OSU we don’t lose even with the reffing. Playing Harper and Caleb together without a center would’ve been the game plan once MJ picked up 2 fouls. Its a viable line up option we didn’t have then that is now available. Caleb holds his own on defense in that forward slot. I love Paul and he’s a great rebounding guard but having him and Mathis in as the 3-4 punch (with Mathis nursing 4 fouls no less) is a big drop off from what is now available to us in that situation. Have to get Caleb minutes the same way we had to get Geo in when he was rusty.
