It seems to me like we're getting some quality minutes out of everyone right now. We have 9 guys getting in there and giving us some time. I think that is going to be important for tomorrow's game. Third game under this kind of pressure in 5 days is going to be tough, there will be some heavy legs, we'll see how the guys respond...

Minutes since Wednesday

Anderson - 51 min (16, 35)

Gilchrist - 54 min (34, 20)

Rudd - 64 min (32, 32)

Collins - 64 min (30, 34)

Robertson - 54 min (29, 25)

Poland - 24 min (16, 8)

Nash - 16 min (10, 6)

Noriega - 18 min (3, 15)

Fitz - 54 min (29, 25)

Things that stick out to me...

Poland's minutes are way down from his season avg. I wonder if he's a bit banged up, or, if Heath is starting to lose a little faith in him. Didn't he have a broken back or something? Could be bothering him down the stretch here...

Anderson with 35 minutes last night after injuring his knee on Wednesday. Very good sign. I didn't think he was as active as he normally is on the offensive side, but, to be able to log those minutes and play tough defense, I'm impressed. Definite leader and the team displays his toughness

Collins/Rudd aren't getting a lot of breaks, but, they are getting some rest. Probably the most active guys though, hope fatigue doesn't set in on them. The TV timeouts help too.

Collins and Rudd are playing at another level right now

Poland has lost confidence since ND and it's painfully apparent. We are going to need that athleticism vs. Ohio and beyond. Hope he gets it back.
