Good to see him breaking out after missing essentially all off-season from injuries.

Its unfortunate it happens right as Conerway goes out. Depth is a huge issue still. The team was exhausted again the last 4 minutes. Miles, while erratic, gave a few good minutes. If we could get a bit more from him, get Conerway back. Get Harris (even if for just a spot minute or 2) and get Sisley out of his slump then perhaps the rotation would be a bit more robust.

Very good to see Dorn healthy and playing so  well.  He was smiling and truly enjoying the home court love last night.

He's taken most/all of Sisley's minutes, which has been a bit of a surprise to me.  Not sure what's going on with Sisley, but man his shot looks off, and awful.  His inbound play - getting fouled and hitting FT's - was huge.  Sure hope he finds his shooting touch soon.

Sisley does not have a hitch in his shot but his wrist action does not look smooth when he is shooting from 3. It's almost like he is pushing the ball with the action of his hands instead of shooting the ball with a follow-thru. Hard to describe. It is a little surprising to me. 

I would normally say it's a freshman hitting the so called wall that is the cause of his slump, but he hasn't played enough minutes to have that as a reason. He gets in foul trouble fast, seems a step behind B1G players his size. Add the performance of Dorn and Sisley's foul issues, I think that is the reason for fewer minutes. 

Question of the day is ... When Conerway is back to being healthy enough to start, who heads to the bench for him to move into the starting five?
