Bouk out indefinitely

[KembaMan15]

"Indefinitely" is code for "rest of season."

:C

 

[InKembaITrust]

Does Bouk now pull a RIP Hamilton, return for his junior year and win a championship?

I'd like to hope so.

[Waquoit]

Seriously?

We would have 6 natty's min if they liked us.

 

[AntG168]

We’re going to need a LOT more from Gaffney and Cole. They both need to be a threat to score 15-20 for us to stay afloat

 

[HuskyHoosier]

We would have 6 natty's min if they liked us.

Seriously. 95 with Ray Allen. 02 with Caron vs MD. 09 if we don’t lose Dyson. George Mason. Donyell and the free throws. We’d have 9 natties!

 

[auror]

Good breakdown but 2-4 weeks. Yer shooting on the longer side. Right in the middle wud be three weeks. He comes back for seton hall.

Plan for the worst, hope for the best.

Really too bad Andre is not healthy to take advantage of the extra available minutes

They did us a couple real solids in 11 and 14 tho

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Jerome Dyson in 09 all over again

 

[dennismenace]

why wasn't our S&C team doing more elbow exercises to prevent this type of injury?!?!?!?

Yes, he could have had the football team players come to practice and fall on peoples elbows while they lay on the floor with their arms extended.

 

[mauconnfan]

What the HELL Hurley.

Not expected to be out long???

Hurley and his continuous idea that he doesn’t have to report? It’s weird...

 

[Ts5034]

4 weeks would set him up for a return for the Feb 13 game at Xavier, or the Feb 16 game vs Providence. It would be nice to have him back for our Feb 20th game at Villanova at the latest.

 

[Ratso]

with covid, every team is out 2weeks anyway

 

[mauconnfan]

I need more than "indefinite" to know how to spin this in my head to keep from killing myself. Is it "he'll miss the rest of the season but now he'll come back next year and go nuts" or "he'll be back by March"

Yeah huh. But March is too late anyway can’t survive that long with what we have. Wow punch in the gut.

 

[bendm]

So if he misses until Feb 16th at Providence (4 weeks plus a couple days), we'd have:
Home St Johns - Likely win
Home Xavier - Tossup, lean win.
At Creighton - Likely loss.
Home Butler - Likely win
At St. John's - Tossup, lean win.
At Xavier - Likely loss.

what about Seton Hall on 2/6?

even if we only swept SJU and beat Butler to go 3-4 in that stretch we'd still be alive in the BE at 7-5 overall. top 6 teams should get into the tourney plus we'd get the benefit of the doubt for playing 7 games w/o our best player.

 

[UCDaveD]

Hope they don’t have to amputate. That’s a long recovery period.

Yeah given how snakebitten some programs are in terms of titles I don't know how anyone can say the basketball gods hate us.

 

[nashusky109]

The good thing for him is that it was his left elbow and not his right. Wishing for the speediest and healthiest return. Man between a covid season, no fans, stoppages, Andre getting hurt, Bouk getting hurt, Akok not being back fully, and JB transfering out, this team is going through the ringer. Hopefully it will only make the team mentally stronger and more together while both Andre and Bouk are out.

Why are Ray Allen and Caron on the list? Ray was amazing as a sophomore but got beaten in the tournament by a better UCLA squad in '05, against Miss. State in '06 they didn't have Ricky which really hurt but they still should've won had Ray and the team played a better game. Caron was amazing but was beaten by a better Maryland team. UConn has been just about as fortunate as anyone when it comes to tournament success and winning tournaments over the years. Injured more than anyone since the '14 title though.

I underestimated!

 

[awfuldan]

Damn, what a bummer.

Really hope he comes back this season. 2 - 4 weeks seems wildly quick to me, but I guess we really don't have any info on the injury/procedure. Eagerly awaiting the opinion of @Doctor Hoop on that timeline.

is about a month more for Andre Jackson?
