Jordan McRae is back on the team.

The team was drug tested yesterday.

One starter (senior) is a failed drug test from being done at UT.

Woolridge isn't bothered by the music video controversy.
One of the people that was with him that night said " more people know who he is because of this." Doesn't seem like the right attitude to me. Maybe thats why he doesn't play.

Finally, some division is among the team regarding a certain players playing time.

I can only guess, but I think I have a pretty good idea of who failed the test. That also gives me the feeling it will have an impact on that player's performance. He will lose some trust/confidence from his coaches b/c of this.

Also, with the playing time comment, are the players dissatisfied with their playing time? Is there some turmoil in the locker room and off the court brewing because of it?

I can narrow the player getting too much playing time down to two people, but i would say it has to be Skylar McBrick. Its ashame. He tries hard, but he has to bury some more shots. I mean that is what a 3 pt specialist is supposed to do.

Awesome, Goins screws up, we get Trae Golden at PG for 30 minutes a game.

I don't blame the team for being tired of McBee's PT. I'd be pissed too.

Both Melvin Goins and Brian Williams were in the car with Tyler Smith. Unless they're not counting B. Williams as a starter.

Either way, it is bad moral for either of them to be in that situation. I think we've seen games this year where it really shows how much it impacts us when they play bad.

Looking on the brightside, we didn't play up to our potential on Saturday and still showed the strength and poise to pull off the win on the road. Even if UM played a terrible game, we could have thrown that game away. glad we didnt...

Why is everybody certain the PT issue is with McBee? Maybe it's over Maymon not playing. Or Hall rarely playing.

Hall should be getting more minutes......at least 7-10 minutes a game. I understand why they aren't playing him with fields shot blocking abilities but Hall is a monster on the boards and has a lot of put back ability. I think he'll eventually start picking up more minutes as we move toward tournament time. We'll need him when Big Baby and Fields both pick up 3 fouls in the first 10 minutes of a game come that time of year. I just hope Maymon doesn't get mad and go home. We need him big time next season. He and Hall will probably be playing 25 minutes a game each.
