That 1994-95 team needs a shout out. Ray Allen, Doron Sheffer, KO, B Fair and Donny Marshall leading the way to a gut-wrenching loss to UCLA in the end. That team was loaded and poised.
Disagree. Your star sets the tone for the team. You absolutely want him hustling and scrapping for loose balls.
Agreed on too little info to speculate.
It’s his left elbow. He will still be drafted high.
I'm expecting him not to return. This injury would seem to make his decision easier, especially if it won't impact his performance. I see this is a 'wake-up' call.
Our beat writers don’t know anything. They get very little access. Guys online who don’t even live in CT know more than them. When it comes to recruiting, our beat writers know even less. It seems they actually get most of their info from the boneyard.
Indefinite: lasting for an unknown or unstated length of time.
Goodman got that info from Uconn staff.
You're right, but the confusion is, was it before or after Hurley knew about the surgery. In my opinion, it I put my detective hat on and put all the pieces of the puzzle together, DH suggested that he would miss some time but that it wouldn't be much, then he told us about the specialist, and then we found out about the surgery. I don't see any way that the specialist looks at Bouk's elbow and says, " We need surgery right now!" UNLESS it's an extremely minor procedure. It's not like this was an emergency surgery where he was rushed to the hospital for a major surgery.
Like I said at the time, that game could easily be the difference between making the Tournament a not, between making a "we're back" statement and not. We can't take anything for granted, as we're seeing here.
Yeah I remember that- cincy was a 1seed -Kmart got hurt - i think they got knocked out in the second round -the committee still gave them a 1 seed for body of work even though he was out for the year. Tuff break. That was the worst one I can think of that comes to mind
I agree with everything in this take. It wasn’t like it was emergency surgery, otherwise no way would you see bouk on the sidelines Monday- the only question I have is if hurley knew about the surgery a couple days prior , why was Bouk a gametime decision late afternoon Monday going into the Depaul game? Gamesmanship by Hurley? Now if you’re telling me bouks elbow was still feeling a little frisky Tuesday morning and they went in to see a specialist and the specialist said “we got to go in there and clean some things up” and Hurley didn’t know about it -that’s a different story. Now if we can just get some solid play from our guards it’s possible we can go 3-1 during this 4 game set -I still think he comes back for Seton Hall February 6- plus a little Covid pause wouldn’t hurt either-( so funny, when We are psyched for games we get Covid cancellations now we wouldn’t mind a couple postponements but watch us play our full schedule straight through) unbelievable how our luck has been the past five years.
That’s why that creighton loss is going to stick with me for a long long time -I still can’t believe we lost that game- we win that game we are clearly probably ranked right around 10 in the country , undefeated in the Big East and could afford a few losses as while bouks out. I know it was like three weeks ago but that loss was a killer as far as taking us to the complete next level nationally. Now we pretty much have to win 5-6 games in a row without bouk to move up 10 spots in the rankings. you know how the polls go, so hard to break in , but once you establish yourself year in and year out, it’s pretty hard to fall out(Unless you have a full collapse like the dookies LOL)
