I got to adding the rotations from the Mississippi Valley State game, there were a lot and they added a lot of new ones for the season.

No Tony Perkins, a lot more Marques Warrick and the freshmen, plus a couple at the end with the walk-ons means there was only one lineup from that game that had been used at any point in the first three games. And the numbers are of course going to look a lot better than they did just a few days ago for each group.

Take a look at the 26 combined rotations from the matchup with MVSU.

OK, slight analysis break. The only rotation that had been used before was No. 11, Ant Robinson, Tamar Bates, Caleb Grill, Jacob Crews and Mark Mitchell. That's it. Crazy that we made it through an entire game without using a second repeat rotation four games into the year.

That change is clearly led by the mix of no Perkins and Aidan Shaw not getting in until the final 10 minutes for some reason and by then it was mostly the young/new guys playing who haven't gotten much time.

The first half actually didn't have that many rotations, Nos. 1-10 are the first half, then there were 16 after halftime.

But the other main thing is Warrick hadn't played as the lead point guard in any of the first three games. He hadn't been on the court without Robinson, Perkins or Boateng through the first three games and I think he should take control of the offense more often, it looked a lot more effective in the half-court with him. Don't want to take too much away from a nonsense opponent, so let's move on to the full season.

The new lineups from the MVSU game starts at No. 68 and this game brings us to 92 for the season.

Sooner or later we'll start getting a lot of repeat rotations, it feels crazy to me that only four groups have been on the floor at the same time four times or more this season and the high for any group is five. And the fact that only one group, the starting 5 from Games 2 and 3, has played eight minutes together feels ridiculous.

There's still just too many guys getting on the floor right now.

I'll do one more game with the full list of rotations, but once we get to Game 6 and on, I'm going to cut down the second part to the 30 most-used groups by time on court together. I think that will end up being more telling than just having 100+ groups of names to look through.

Head to the ongoing story thread to discuss the rotations through the year or over to the Tiger Walk to discuss so much more.
