With junior guard Tyshawn Taylor back from his two-game suspension for violating team rules, the task of running the offense will likely be split between three different players.

Both Elijah Johnson and freshman guard Josh Selby have played significant minutes at the point guard position.

“It’s going to be by committee,” Self said. “That’s how we need to do it. Certainly, it could be Elijah 20 minutes a game, could be 25, could be 10. It depends on the flow of the game and how other guys are doing.”

Having a rotation in flux this late in the season is not something Self would have wanted when the season started, but he doesn’t see it as a negative — and neither do his players.

“Right now, we’re battling,” Johnson said. “We’re not battling with each other. We’re battling to be the best team in the country. Right now, our guards are going at each other every day as hard as we ever have, and it’s picking up the momentum of the team. It’s a positive no matter what happens. Whether minutes go up, down or just get cut off, it’s a positive.”
