Akok Akok get hurt???

[Brandon86]

Why did he never get back on the floor?

 

[UconnU]

Had to be. No way Hurley plays Sid Wilson at center over him.

 

[Marat]

Not sure but he didn't look pleased in the handshake line.

 

[SouthBayHusky]

This makes no sense. I am perplexed like everyone here

 

[upstater]

He was not very tough on defense in the 2nd half. He didn't contest a couple of shots by the white guys. I think Hurley sat him because of that.

 

[WestHartHusk]

A bit of a double standard. AG was a disaster and there was no hook from DH.

 

[Palatine]

A bit of a double standard. AG was a disaster and there was no hook from DH.

AG got to the line 9 times and made them all. Without AG we lose in regulation.

Both starting guards played like garbage.

Akok playing post D against Jones....

Bouknight shouldn't have fouled on Xavier's last possession and Alterique should have done anything, anythinggg other than what he did. Horrible way to go out. Could have and should have gotten a half decent look.

Great effort and fire from the whole team tonight. Others have said it but this team wants to win and believes it will. I believe they will too.

Yeah. I also think too much beef to bang against at this point. But Whaley with 4 was odd. Kid plays hard gives at least one good play a game

Can't do this to your fteshman if you're not gonna do it to your 4 year guards.

He rarely looks pleased tho

If he makes any shot we win in regulation.

 

[Blaneylover]

Amen.

Hurley said Akok was gimpy which is why he didn’t play. Not 100% going into shootaround.

The quick double on Jones seemed to work.

I’m thinking compound arm and collar bone fractures

Exactly. Common sense would told us to do that. But we could used him on the offensive glass.

His presence is game changing. He is a VERY unique talent. Jones is serviceable and tough and will have a nice career overseas. Akok should have played crucial minutes down the stretch. Still a great effort. Hurley has these guys in great position for a better than expected season (from my perspective).

Have to learn from this.

 

[LIuconn]

I love akok. Love how he sprints back on D. He's so 100% in

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

Ok

 

[HuskyHawk]

When Whaley fouled out, Kimani told Akok to check in and Hurley waved him off and said, no, Wilson. I was sitting a few rows up behind the bench.
