Update:

Jizzle is taking advantage of the opportunity so far.

Ody in instead of Vik...you have to wonder if he might be out of here after the season is done.

Hard to play Vik at the 4 against these mid-majors that spread the floor so much. Would like to see him get some minutes at the 5 as Reynolds hasn't been contributing much.

Would like to see the Cats build this lead.

Did anyone else notice that when Jamille went to ground, no one went to pick him up?

Letting Bradley back in it. Skilling with some bad decisions.

Get Reynold out

TV timeout came at great time.

He has seemed checked out for the better part of the last month...I'm thinking the team is noticing as well.

I can't imagine Reynolds is coming back, he's not going to overtake Aziz for starting minutes during the off-season and I'm not sure Wes wants him back with how little energy Reynolds gives for most of the game.

I think I rather keep Sage and develop him than Reynolds, maybe Vik too if his head isn’t in it.

Good half could have been great. Need a strong 2nd half.

We either need Sage to take a big step and be ready to play next year or we need a young transfer center. Reynolds should be gone, Vik may stay if he's willing to split time between the 4 and 5.

Strong half, in control pretty much the entire half.

I'm fully expecting us to let Bradley back in it at some point and it come down to a one possession game at the end.

I think Vik is a fish out of water at the 4, which is why his play and minutes declined considerably after Aziz and Jamille became eligible...my guess is that the Tylers can come in and give some minutes at the 4 next year, and we run 4 out most of the game. That's primarily why I think Vik will be gone. Betsey is a better shooter than Vik, McKinley is more athletic and able to play fast, and both can probably replace him in the aggregate. You can use that roster spot to get a top of the roster guy, rather than someone who has proven who he is (and isn't) at this point. If Jamille leaves, they Vik staying and being a rotational big makes sense, but I'd be shocked if we go into next season with all of Aziz, Jamille, and Vik on the roster.

All of that being said, I don't think Sage will be giving UC much of anything on the court ever.

I still think Jizzle is more Vaughn or a Logan than a true pg. He is a combo guard that can score who can handle some of the pg duties.

Skillings' rebounding instincts always amaze me.

That's how they are using him most of the time today. He hasn't been the main ball handler most of the time.

Skillings has to make wide open 3s if he has aspirations for the NBA.
