Any Nikko updates?

If not tomorrow, any expected return date? I think Woods will get it done against the lesser opponents, but getting Nikko and Smith maximum playing time should be a priority.

This is where our lack of mental focus has hurt us. We built a 10 point lead last game and instead of putting them away, we had to scramble to win. If the guards would take better care of the ball, we would have more playing time opportunities for Smith, Jackson, and even Wolf. I would love to see Smith and Jackson get big 6-8 minute chunks of time out there. I'm sure there will be cringe-worthy moments, but better now than in conference play.

Either the shots will fall or they won't. My only expectation is to see less careless play from our guards, particularly Phillips. If everyone just plays within themselves, it should be an easy win and Smith should get to see the floor. If we panic and start to try too hard, we could get into trouble.
