Do we have Castle Sunday Or Not?

[jibsey]

Why was my post deleted on the Castle injury thread? I made a joke that getting injury info out of UCONN is a very difficult task. Apparently that’s not allowed?
Anyway, we had a game Tuesday, so I wonder did I miss a release by the team, coach, trainer, anyone?

 

[husky429]

I say yes but limited minutes. No inside info, I'm just being an optimist.

 

[Drame]

At the presser Hurley said they would get more info today or tomorrow. So to answer your question nobody knows.

Maybe a game time decision.

 

[JohnnyJr]

It makes me nervous that we haven’t heard anything yet, if it’s minor why not just say it? Either that or they still don’t know the severity

Thanks for asking again

Or, there’s a standard timeline for evaluating progression of injuries and it wouldn’t be worth reporting minute to minute progress?

Or, the staff already has standard media pressers at certain days/times that are convenient for discussing these kinds of things and changing them is impractical?

Look, I want to get my bets in as much as the next guy with as much info as possible, but I’m comfortable just waiting for when Hurley wants to discuss Castle’s status…

We may know in fifteen minutes.
Or not.

 

[willie99]

My guess is Hurley likes to keep the opposition guessing if that's at all possible

It is a strategy

 

[Incursio007]

Given his future prospects, I think the best decision would be to sit him out as long as necessary until he's back to "normal" - especially if it's a knee injury. Don't want him rushing back too soon.

Fifteen??? Times are crazy, used to always be twenty minutes

We have a much quicker team now so....

You’d think with inflation it be at least 25 minutes

 

[Jaydumo20]

I trust the staff completely. Not saying any injury is good but if we were 100% healthy all regular season, come tourney time the 'doom' squad would be beside themselves

 

[jibsey]

For me I don’t gamble on the games so it has nothing to do with betting, but there should have at least been a blurb that it wasn’t an MCL operation needed or something like that. We all understand sprains. They know this stuff within 2 seconds of a scan. I guess those who went with the 45 point spread weren’t happy Tuesday.

Time is money. So 15 is about right. Don’t have as much time to waste.

 

[Brochacho]

I’m thinking MCL sprain, back by 2024.

That’s about as long as it takes to set up credit score monitoring…just kidding

 

[auror]

They usually do media the day before game, so Saturday. My guess is on Saturday the media are told he's a gametime decision.

Instant gratification world.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

The coaches don’t owe us fans an injury update. Sure we’d like it, but let Indiana have to scheme for and without him. They will likely let him warm up Sunday and see how it reacts.

It's always been 25 minutes Canadian.

 

[husky429]

I am all for keeping this information close to the vest, even if we as fans hate it. Make it more difficult for Indiana to prep.

Were you alive during the Bouknught injury information episode? Same staff.

 

[Kenny11]

Coaches are paranoid. Even if the injury looked significant, Indiana would still prepare for Castle. But any little advantage helps.

I hate guessing on an injury. But I'll play devil's advocate here. He warmed up before the MVSU game and put up shots. He had an MRI the day before. There's no way they allow him on the court if he had an MCL sprain. Why risk that?
