Not a pretty win, but a win nonetheless...

We had a game-changing 9-0 segment early in the 2nd half when Nance, Beran, Audige, Roper and Greer were on the court, turning a 35-32 deficit into a 41-35 lead. Audige, Beran and Greer did the work.
That was the only 2 minutes that lineup played. In fact, that group of 5 had only played 5 minutes together all season! Collins tends to avoid Audige with Roper unless Buie is playing. Something to keep an eye on.

Greer and Buie in the backcourt were outscored 23-21 in 16 minutes. They are usually better.
Audige and Berry put up an 8-3 run in the first half to turn a 16-11 deficit into a 19-19 tie.
That combination has been quite effective this season with 308 pts scored and 270 pts allowed.
Other than that, Berry was pretty bad.

Nance and Young finally got some time together, winning their two segments 14-11 over 10.5 minutes.
Robbie Beran only played 2:40 of the last 13 minutes, with Nance, Young, Buie, Greer and Audige playing the last 6:00.

The NIT is probably reachable, but a monster run is needed to get to the Dance. Here's hoping Berry gets back on track because he is sorely needed.

I expect us to get an NIT bid.
We still aren't even featuring our best lineups!
But it is probably too late to make any major changes.

Nance, Audige, Boo and Young are going to produce but they have to have scoring help. Berry and Roper must hit some 3s. Roper did that vs. Rutgers and Berry vs. Nebraska. We can't shoot 5-for-27 from deep again and count on beating anybody, even Nebraska.
