Surprise absence Monday Wilmore (coach's decision) did not take the court in Monday's 91-59 victory over Paul Quinn. Impact Wilmore had started the previous four games for the Tigers and logged double-digit minutes in each, but he handed the reins to 6-8 junior Kobe Brown on Monday, who logged 20 points, 23 rebounds and six assists. No injury was reported, but coach Cuonzo Martin stated after the game that there's "just some things I need him to get better at" (via Eric Blum of the Columbia Daily Tribune). That leaves open a wide variety of situations from disciplinary to performance-related reasons, making it unclear what Wilmore's availability might look like for Thursday's contest against Liberty.
