Bouknight has hyperextended elbow

[CL82]

I have a UConn plastic street sign and one for the Cowboys that hang above my tv. I had switched the Cowboys one to the front on Sunday, but forgot to switch it back to Huskies before the game. I noticed when we were down 18 (right around that point, at the TV timeout) and switched it back. We immediately went on the run to take the lead then.

I switched sweatshirts at the half. Apparently it took a bit of time for the mojo that generated to make it to Wisconsin.

Yea google says days to weeks but Bouknight is not the average man 😈

If he were a Major League Baseball player with a multimillion dollar contract, he’d be shut down for two months.

Funny. I convinced my daughter to put one of these on when the pats were down in both the Falcons and Seahawks superbowls. We were watching the former with good friends from Atlanta, and the latter at the home of a couple of Seattle natives. We've got a bunch of friends that will burn this hat given the chance.

Don't think that hat will be needed in the short term

Glad that Bouk's elbow didn't get annihilated - hope he's good to go soon

Nice non sequitur.

And if he was a multimillionaire NFL linemen, LB, or RB he wouldn't miss a snap.

Is your point that different sports and different positions in sports use muscle groups diffently? Hot take.

You’re lost pal of mine. I was making fun of MLB and the way they overprotect their investments. Mickey Mantle would’ve played 2 games a year in today’s game.

 

[Waquoit]

I dunno, I think if the Mick played today he would have been good to go once he got scoped. And I hate the Yanks.

Early in the game I was relatively frustrated with Bouk due to his "pointing for credit" whenever he tipped in a shot. His body language wasn't the best early on either & he seemed somewhat flustered at the start. Post injury however, a flip switched --- he became entirely focused on supporting his teammates & basking in their success. His being on the floor caused Marquette to continue accounting for him & it allowed multiple open looks for others. More importantly, he also showed that he can BALL --- even when he doesn't score.

Essentially one handed, he played tenacious defense, soared for rebounds & set great screens to free up others. He even had a few good takes to the hoop while injured & he got hammered, but just wasn't getting any calls. Being a decoy isn't the ideal scenario for him [or the team], but he embraced whatever was necessary to get the win. Everyone has bad games & if I'm a scout, this game showed me a lot about his character & what he's all about as a leader.

Praying that it's a minor strain & he'll be back to normal in a few days!

Do we know he was pointing for credit? To my eye, that's what it looked like, but I can't believe that's what it actually was. I thought maybe he was calling for a foul. If he truly was saying, "Look at me, I made the shot!", that's really lame.

He did it twice, and pretty sure both times it was to take credit. Love Bouk, but didn't love that.

I didn’t love it either, but he may have just been trying to build his confidence back. He obviously had a rough shooting night, in fact I think 2/3 of his FGs were offensive rebound tip ins.

I'm all for Prosciutto becoming a scared, if I get a vote.

Maybe add some capicol too

 

[Dove]

Nah this prosciutto is too good for that. It should only be used for concussions.

It's James Bouknight godammit!!!!

 

[Dove]

The hot stuff!!!

It’s not much different than holding up arm extended after hitting a 3 or flexing biceps after an And1.

Glad I'm not the only one that noticed this. At first I thought maybe he was holding up his arm because they were both tap in's in traffic, so he's making it easier for the official boxscore keeper to know who to give the 2 points for. Hopefully it's as simple as that.

Felt the same mentioned to my brother the same thing on the phone early on. But was so impressed with his reactions on the sideline during the run as well as his sense of knowing he was an impact as a decoy and a defender. He played his heart out with the bad elbow and regained any little I had lost by his early game body language. Your assessment is spot on.

 

[jayteeman]

I appreciate hustle and diving for loose balls, but that play should have been a foul. His arms was extended and the player jumped on top of it. I've seen guys jumping on players legs and even the occasional head.

It's different when players are airborne and someone reaches, but sooner or later somebody is going to get hurt bad. The NCAA shouldn't wait, and then overreact which they do. They'll start throwing kicking guys out of games. Just get ahead of it before someone breaks a leg or dislocates a shoulder.

There is a clear intention of going for a loose ball and a clear intention of stopping a player from getting a loose ball with a reckless motive. Elliott chose the later. And for that I will not forgive the player or any referee for allowing that to happen and go unnoticed.
Bouk is a very lucky man.

 

[UconnU]

Even before he got injured he didn’t look himself, He looked winded, had a deer I headlights look, wasn’t making easy reads, even the commentators mentioned that he didn’t look right.

Well, it might affect an outfielder much more than a SG.

So, yes, it's possible the same injury to Bouk would definitely affect a baseball player longer.

For sure. But the thing about baseball in particular, before free agency and increasing with these mind blowing multi year deals, in the old days when players were paid far, far less, they often were pushed to play with injuries worse than what guys are sitting for weeks now. They are treated as investments to be protected, so a bit counterintuitively, the more you are paid, the fewer physical demands we place on you.

Kinda like the work place for most of us. The fewer keys you have on your key chain they higher up you are.

Plus, back in the day when players needed their salary and worked second jobs in the off season, they would have taken whatever shot was available to numb it up.

You're right. We need better prosciutto.

My dog, Kemba, fell asleep in my lap when we went down 18. I did not budge until the end of the game. I had to hold my pee the whole time, and I was on my 4th beer.

Yeah, pointing to tip-ins, wack move. He was notably frustrated early, whiny. Don't think he took to kindly to Marquette roughing him up a bit early on. There was one Bouk drive, lays it up and defender pounds the backboard which probably altered the layup, but no certainty there. I think Polley or maybe Carlton cleaned that up for two.

Hurley will bring the bad body language to his attention and he will be fine. It was a blessing in disguise for Bouk to watch the comeback jump off without he being on the court.

Great program builder, showed our tenacity, ability to win as a team and program w/out sole reliance on our superstar.

 

[donyell34]

ahh! No biggie seen it done many times. I myself did it, in my junior year in one game had 4 tip in's given to someone else. I did raise my hand a few times after that and sometimes it's just a natural reaction. Damm right I wanted those 8pts. lol.

 

[Spaceman213J]

I don't mind the pointing by Bouk if his teammates don't care.

 

[UconnU]

What I really don’t like and I think nba scouts will notice is that he gets hurt all the time. That’s really not conducive to an NBA season. It’s not a toughness issue. He just gets a little wild with his arms and his legs and puts himself in a position to get hurt/injured.
