They had 4 guys play 35 plus minutes against NCState.....could be a factor today

looks like Jake is beginning to show he doesn't trust many guys off the bench
Hunter Rhodes, who played significant minutes last year, saw his first minutes of the year last night.

[PTTB]

Hunter has been injured. Played his first game Wednesday night.
Phyfe was out with a concussion last week and Wed was his first game back.
Haldeman had a badly injured ankle (couldn't put weight on it coming off floor on Saturday but looked good Wednesday night). Didn't play as much against NC State.
Lohaus is still injured. Rumors of coming back for the UNLV game next week.
Dahl has been injured also.

I'm looking forward to seeing how things look with a healthy Wyatt Lohaus. That keeps the guards fresh with another ball handler if needed.
