Gophers starting guard Payton Willis is doubtful vs. Oklahoma State

Gophers junior guard Payton Willis (ankle) is likely out for Saturday's game at Oklahoma State in Tulsa. Willis leads the team in three-point shooting.

"He's very, very doubtful to play for tomorrow," Pitino said. "He needs to get that ankle right. I think rest will help him. He gutted it out first half last game. Obviously, that was a major blow to us him not playing."

Time to use that bench, let's go Gophers!

Ihnen maybe gets some minutes? Williams is coming on, but hard to expect 35 minutes from him.

I'd expect at least 5, maybe 10 minutes out of Greenlee tomorrow, too?

Good choice. I forgot about him. He's a servicable ball handler and plays nice on-ball defense. From the little I've seen so far, he won't go out of his lane and try to do too much. That's a good thing.

Going to need Ihnen and Greenlee to put up solid minutes. We have a barely serviceable bench as it is - praying that Willis recovers quickly.

It will be interesting to see how they respond. Ihnen and Greenlee need the minutes to learn/develop. Here's the opportunity.

5 or 10 minutes if no one gets in foul trouble. Otherwise, maybe more.

Be interesting to see if OSU's starting PG is still out today. Apparently he has missed the last 3 games with an illness.
