There are no easy answers. Utah State is up against a wall of mounting injuries, and there's very little it can do.
The last of the Aggies' options when it comes to depth was used up Thursday: Connor Garner came onto the floor, his redshirt year now over. The walk-on didn't make a shot in the final minutes of the game.
Utah State now must hope he can.
There's no emergency parachute, no escape pod - there's no way out of this mess. It's nobody's fault, really, just a bolt of lightning hitting the same team over and over.
Spencer Butterfield was carried off the court during the game, then went to a local hospital some time afterward. The Aggies all have their fingers crossed hoping he can make it back.
It would appear the injury could thrust TeNale Roland who has been playing better into the starting lineup. Garner might be the only back-up for guards at three positions. There may still be more experimental lineups ahead, perhaps testing Clifford at the 3-spot and Shaw and Stone more at the four. It's hard to say, because there's not a lot of chess pieces to work with.
The biggest problem is that the injuries have struck in Utah State's leadership. Preston Medlin, the preseason WAC player of the year. Kyisean Reed, the team's only senior. Danny Berger was very much glue to the team, an unselfish starter.
When injuries dictated that Butterfield needed to become a leader, he assumed the role with pride. He stood out in ways few expected when he had first arrived at Utah State. And now injuries have claimed him, too.
There's now only seven scholarship players left, and Garner is the only extra relief. Everyone else is either not eligible or hurt. The Aggies are still hoping Medlin can make a miraculous comeback, but a slow-healing wrist makes that a huge question mark.
What more can the Aggies do? Wish, hope, wait and play. Even if playing has punished them far beyond their fair share.

The Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has struck down the NLRB's rule which required all employers covered by the National Labor Relations Act to post an NLRB-drafted "Notification of Employee Rights under the National Labor Relations Act." Under that rule, employers failing to post the notice would be subject to an unfair labor practice charge. The rule has been on hold since March 2012 when the District Court partially invalidated the posting regulation and enjoined its application pending this appeal.
Specifically, the Court found that the enforcement mechanisms placed into the Rule by the Board overstepped the Board's enforcement authority.

Syria Crisis: "Situation for millions of desperate people has not improved," says UN Humanitarian Chief
UN Humanitarian Chief Valerie Amos today told the Security Council that despite the adoption of its resolution one month ago on humanitarian access in Syria, "the situation for millions of desperate people has not improved."
"Conflict and violence have intensified over the past four weeks, with many people killed and injured. Since 22 February some 300 cases of sexual violence have been recorded in Damascus and Rural Damascus alone," added Ms. Amos.
The Council's latest resolution on Syria adopted in February came just weeks before the crisis entered its fourth year. It demanded that all parties to the conflict allow delivery of humanitarian assistance and enable the rapid, safe and unhindered evacuation of all civilians wanting to leave conflict areas. It also urged all parties to respect the principle of humanitarian neutrality.
"The Council's resolution was very clear and the rules of International Humanitarian Law are also very clear," said Ms. Amos. "The continued withholding of consent to cross-border or cross-line relief operations, particularly of commodities privileged throughout the Geneva Conventions - like food, water, medical treatment and supplies, or shelter - is arbitrary and unjustified."
Need for "significant step-change"
Last week, the first UN cross-border convoy - eight trucks carrying essential relief supplies - crossed into Syria from Turkey under the provisions of resolution 2139. The trucks carried food for 50,000 people, medicines and household items such as blankets and clothing for over 60,000 people in al-Hassakeh.
The humanitarian situation remains bleak despite the progress, said Ms. Amos, adding that it will continue to be so "unless we are granted full and unhindered access, through the most efficient and direct means."
"We need to see a significant step-change in the speed and scale of humanitarian aid, if we are to save lives and keep pace with the ever-growing needs," she said, calling on Security Council Members to continue using their influence to facilitate for more access, protect civilians and lift sieges.
"As the situation gets worse, not better, it is the ordinary men, women and children of Syria who continue to bear the brunt of this conflict, regardless of who they are, where they are from, or their religious beliefs."

Tigerville, S.C. - Kasey Fagan hit her fourth home run of the season and Sarah Carlos drove a three-run shot out the park as the Tornados split a doubleheader with North Greenville University on Tuesday afternoon. The Crusaders won game one, 3-2, while Carlos' home run powered Brevard to the win in game two, 5-1.
The Tornados (16-20, 2-10 SAC) and the Crusaders (16-16) split their season series at 2-2.
Game 1: North Greenville 3, Brevard 2
Jennifer Gift (7-10) struck out nine batters in the first game, but an RBI infield single in the bottom of the fifth by Karli Taylor put the Crusaders ahead for good in the bottom of the fifth to give Kristyn Smith (10-7) her second win over the Tornados in the 2009 season.
North Greenville scored early, putting runs on the board in both the first and the second innings as Whitney Center drove home Bridget Watson in the first inning on a fielder's choice and Ashley Warlick doubled the score with a solo home run to left field in the second.
Brevard came back in the fourth as Kasey Fagan nailed a two-out offering from Smith over the left field fence for her fourth home run of the season, third in five games.
The Tornados tied the game up in the fifth as Katie Thornburg opened the inning with a double and came around to score on a throwing error by Smith.
In the bottom of the fifth, the Crusaders took the lead for good as Lindsey Eargle doubled with one out, moved to third on a fly ball to center before scoring on Taylor's infield single.
Brevard placed runners on in both the sixth and the seventh, but were unable to put another run across the plate as game one went to the home team.
Game 2: Brevard 5, North Greenville 1
Liz Houser (9-9) took advantage of Carlos' home run to record the win in game two. The junior from Greenville, N.C. scattered four hits, striking out four while allowing one unearned run. Taylor Roof (6-8) suffered the loss for the Crusaders, allowing five runs in six innings work.
Brevard scored first in the nightcap, scoring a pair of runs in the top of the third. Beth Brooker reached on an infield single with two outs. A walk issued to Kristina Clayton moved Brooker over to second. Chelsi Mallory cleared the bases as the Crusader centerfielder misplayed the ball, allowing Mallory to end up on second while Brooker and Clayton came around to score.
The Tornados tacked on three more runs in the fourth due to Carlos' blast. The sophomore first baseman's blast was the second of her collegiate career, scoring Katie Brown and Curlee in the process to give Houser a commanding 5-0 lead.
North Greenville got one run back in the fifth as Taylor came around to score on an error by the Tornados third baseman, but Houser took control, retiring the last eight NGU batters to end the game.
The Tornados next game on the schedule is a doubleheader on Saturday, April 18th, as Brevard hosts their final South Atlantic Conference team of the year in Lenoir-Rhyne. First pitch for the Tornados-Bears matchup is set for 1 p.m.

Generally speaking, Beyonce can do no wrong. But on Sunday, the celebrity mom, 30, posted a peculiar photo of some Jay-Z and Beyonce-inspired nail art to her Tumblr, and we can't decide if it's crazy awesome or just plain crazy.
Featuring little cut-out images of the couple's beautiful visages, and rhinestone initials for J, Z, B, and what seems like an N, the manicure is definitely detailed and over-the-top. The wild nails reportedly belong to DJ Roxy Cottontail, with help from manicurist Naomi Yasuda.
"Well they obviously caught the eyes of Queen Bee herself because she recently blogged them on her site," the New York City-based DJ wrote on her website.
Across the Web, folks have chimed in, with some calling it "epic", while others think it downright creepy.
What do you think? And would you ever wear your nails like this?
