Bouknight is out tonight

[aburks41]

fffffffff not good. Polley, Martin, and Cole will need to step up again and make up the difference

 

[Psolo12]

Son of a bitch

 

[ucawn]

Maybe blessing in disguise this game. We need to pound inside and not be predictable on offense. Someone will need to step up. Our defense and rebounding will be able to keep us in this.

Hoping for a speedy recovery and this falls along the lines of having him heal for 2 weeks from Marquette to St. John’s. No rush to get him back for Butler or DePaul we should win those games.

 

[UCTitleTown]

Tape it up tight and take 4 Advil.

 

[lange10]

Luckily we have a great defense and Akok returning. Our bigs need to dominate down low and on the glass.

 

[8893]

Well that sucks

 

[smoothcriminal]

Calling coach and telling him this is Unacceptable. A win and this team is ranked for first time in a century and he’s not gonna give it a go? Even a 30% healthy bouk adds value whether it’s decoy or pure IQ alone .

 

[smoothcriminal]

I repeat - unacceptable

 

[Hey Adrien!]

With Butler's three leading scorers checking in at 6'3 and smaller, and their propensity to bolster them with two posts (Nze at 6'7 230 and Golden at 6'9 260), I expect a Gaffney/Cole/Adams/Whaley/Carlton starting lineup. I'm curious to see if/how Martin guards Butler's stout three-point shooter Jair Bolden (6'3 210).

There's no need to risk injury, regardless of the stakes of the game...

Good call by Hurley and his staff. Let's trust that the people in charge know what they're doing.

 

[Marat]

They will have to continue to play well as a team . This will be good for them. It seems that Bouk will probably be out Monday then.....

Yes great idea, let's risk further injury and force him to play a meaningless game in early January

Do you think he should risk injury to himself, possibly hurt our team for the long term, and possibly even affect his NBA future because you want to see him play for free? Come on now.

Ridiculous. We should clearly listen to an uninformed anonymous message board poster when it comes to the health of an injured teenager with an NBA future.

 

[auror]

Its not a meaningless game. it's a conference game and each game this season is more important than usual due to fewer number and our tournament aspirations.

I still don't think he should play.

 

[Chin Diesel]

I repeat - unacceptable

I'm bored for the next 75 minutes, so what the heck.

Why is this unacceptable??

 

[UconnU]

“Time table for return is unkown...”

 

[ucawn]

I can GUARANTEE you that Butler game planned all week on how they would stop and contain Bouknight. This screws up their whole plan and now they have 2 hours to figure out how to stop Akok

 

[HuskyHawk]

Bummer. Hopefully we get strong team play overall. Maybe this helps us learn how not to over rely on him and makes us better overall.

 

[Jay-Bone]

Worst day ever, no cesspool and now no Bouknight.

 

[Ts5034]

I wonder how much our performance in the Marquette game factored into this. We obviously played really well without him for much of the game, I wonder if he would have been pushed to play this one today had that not been the case?

Skip Bayless is jealous of this hot take.

There are a lot of really stupid people on the 'Yard--including myself. But you just may be king stupid of the idiot kingdom.

Basketball players are not cattle. Even the most important games are just that: a game. There is absolutely no reason for any player on this team to risk their health and livelihood to play tonight or any other night you genius.

Go root for 'Cuse. Our fanbase is better without you.

 

[Huskyforlife]

"The timetable is unknown," is the scary part.

 

[Ts5034]

Whether he’s out for one game, or two weeks, have we not had the absolute worst luck with injuries the past few years???

 

[MexicoHusky]

Time for Hurley to give the "This is the team" speach

 

[imno1]

This game will be a good barometer. Beating them without our main man would be a big boost for the team’s confidence.

 

[ucawn]

"The timetable is unknown," is the scary part.

My bet is we won’t see him for DePaul and he’ll rest up and be a game time decision for St. John’s

The one thing that hasn’t changed from KO to Dan Hurley.
