The Thinking: This group has been absolutely decimated by injuries over the past few weeks so the list of eligible candidates had fallen off somewhat. However with big nights from Jeremiah Hall, Jacob Phillips and Charleston Rambo there was definitely a challenge issued to Robison. In the end Hall was the most real threat thanks to playing so well against a quality opponent. However, Robison's do or die situation and his performance within that made him the only choice.
