Bouknight is out tonight

[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.

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.

 

[smoothcriminal]

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

 

[UconnU]

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.

 

[Waquoit]

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

 

[Dove]

And then along comes Polley!!!

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

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.

 

[mauconnfan]

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.

 

[g_smith]

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

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.
