It's a different kind of juggling act.

Spheroids aren't being juggled. Minutes for perimeter players are also up in the air for the Nevada basketball team. Lyndale Burleson made his season debut in the Wolf Pack's 55-52 win at Northern Iowa on Saturday afternoon, logging 26 minutes and finishing with eight points.

Where did coach Mark Fox find the 26 minutes on the perimeter for Burleson, who was ineligible for the first semester? Only top scorer Marcelus Kemp played as many minutes, 34, as he is averaging for the season.

Armon Johnson was averaging 34.4 minutes and played 23 on Saturday with Brandon Fields averaging 33.4 minutes and playing 31. Freshman Malik Cooke dropped from averaging 11.6 minutes to five and junior college transfer Ray Kraemer, who is averaging 7.2 minutes this season, didn't play against Northern Iowa. The difference in playing time for those four players adds up to 27 minutes...

Go here for the remainder.
