Bouknight is out tonight

[smoothcriminal]

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?

Definitely.

He played in the second half of the game he got hurt. It can’t be THAT serious though I am sure it doesn’t feel great. Very surprised he is not suiting up for this big game in a season where there are no guarantees for continuity. Weak

One thing that helps us a little is that we don’t feel like we need to get Bouknight looks. This allows Hurley to do a little more coaching. I suspect we will get looks like Sanogo in the paint and Tyler from 3.

It's one less chance to see the young man play in a UConn uniform. 😢

And then along comes Polley!!!

Huge opportunity for Gaffney and Adams to step up

 

[RF79]

Welp, that’s news I didn’t want to read but now it’s time for the rest of the team to step up and start gelling together without our main scorer.

Just hope this lends him to go bigger rather than 3 guards don’t like that lineup. Yikes not good

 

[Husky25]

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 .

It would become evident fairly quickly that Bouk would be playing decoy.

am I the only one seeing the contraption bouknight is wearing on the bench? That looks like a couple week injury to me.

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

Agreed, but I'm hoping by the SJU game he is more than just a game time decision and will definitely be back. The Nova postponement may end up being a blessing in disguise.
