Ulis - hasn't cooled all season
Murray - hasn't cooled all season
Briscoe - warm, keying in on his opportunities a little better
Poythress - warm, needs to have a big SEC tourney, go out and get the MOP
Skal - heating and toughening up now with a better focused role
Lee - warm, just needs to be aware and opportunistic
Willis - cooled since the injury, needs to have a big SEC tourney and get the game feel back
Humphries - hot, ready to go when called on
Hawkins - warm, needs to be opportunistic
Cal has done a fantastic job getting roles and skillsets honed leading into the SEC tourney. I love when our teams have so many different looks; it makes it hard to prepare to beat us leaving fate in our own hands. Hard to see anyone else playing beyond this nine. I think Humphries and Hawkins only see a 1-2 substitutions per game from here on out trimming the minutes down to a core seven.
I can't fault Cal where we stand. Not sure how much more developing could have been done this season other than Briscoe becoming a reliable mid-range shooter and finding a solid substituion for Ulis but we can weather the 2-3 minutes he is out per game. That's about it. Its a matter of energy, execution and a little luck from here on out.
