Hurley press availability

[Get a Job]

When is it and how do I hear/see it?

[Deleted at users request]

Well. Time for Ross and Stewart to step up over these next couple of games.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

 

[Marat]

Ok there you have it. Could have been worse, I guess. Time for Stewart and Ross to pick things up for the next several weeks.

 

[CTBasketball]

That is unfortunate.

 

[BigFanCT]

The real meat of the schedule starts Feb 1. Twice vs St John’s, twice vs Marquette, once vs GTown if they actually decide they want to be somewhat decent.

3-3 without him hopefully?

 

[BFieldHusky]

Good thing is our BE schedule is back loaded.

 

[HailUConn]

Feels for McNeeley but the silver lining is that he will come back in time for a final tuneup for March while it opens more game time up for Ross and Stewie.

 

[slepers]

Here comes Abraham!

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Good thing is our BE schedule is back loaded.

That also means winning games at Nova and at GTown become much more difficult

Could help in long run as committee may not knock us as much for losing without him, as players will have to step up. Biggest loss is them further developing chemistry with him in there.

You have to play who is on the schedule. No one is going to feel sorry for us.

 

[Waquoit]

Yuck.

 

[Mets1432]

Ooof not the best news. That means he is out for Providence, @Villanova, @ Georgetown, and Creighton. Maybe back for Butler or @ Xavier.

Villanova just blew out the same Depual team that kept up with us. Georgetown seems much improved. Migh the a tough few weeks.

 

[djct1999]

High ankle sprains can be 6 weeks. Ugh.

Obviously. I’m just not counting Ws on that schedule without Liam. No way to sugarcoat it. We might be in some trouble if we slide the next 3 weeks.

In trouble how? Like on the bubble?

Difference is the game was @Nova. Kind of a big deal.

No Marquette or St. Johns this month. Still not gonna be easy.

It’s just basic math. If we go 3-3 while he’s out we’re at 6 losses. You expect some losses to good teams. Say 1 at Marquette, 1 at Creighton, maybe another vs St. John’s. Now at 9 Ls. If we don’t win the BET, 10 Ls. I’m just saying his injury does have the potential to derail the season if we can’t win the games we likely would have with Liam available.

 

[superjohn]

That would be the extremely optimistic to unrealistic timeline. High ankle sprains take time, sometimes a lot of time.

I hate hearing this. Liam is our most indispensable player along with Hass. Our season just got way tougher. I hate this for our upcoming games and for Liam especially, I love the kid.

 

[nadavtheman]

Dan Hurley said from day I this is the deepest team talentwise he’s ever had so we can sustain this year better than any other year and have already done so winning without AK and Samson. So next man up. Opportunity knocks for Stevie, Jayden and maybe even IA. Sucks to lose Liam but long term this can benefit us if other guys step up. We will be OK. Go UConn!!!

100 percent. People don’t want to accept that this has the potential to derail a promising season.

Go ahead and hit the laugh button all day but it’s the truth.

Keep repeating yourself. A big injury to one of our best players may hurt the season...wow.

 

[superjohn]

High ankle sprains can be 6 weeks. Ugh.

They can be even longer than that, it depends on the severity. Let's pray he's a quick healer and it's not too severe.

 

[Marat]

I have some confidence that Stewart can elevate his play for extended minutes. He's got talent, gives opportunity to show it for an extended period.

I wonder if Liam is out 4 to to 6 weeks, any chance he considers returning ?

 

[RuffRuff]

Went into the season touting depth as a strength - now is the time for it to show up. This may ding out chance to win the BE reg season, yes. Was hoping for a max 1 loss in the next 7 before we go to Marquette. We just may pick up a couple more. It shouldn’t impact March all that much. Guys have to step up - it’s what separates good from great teams.

 

[RuffRuff]

Guess it’s on the less than severe side given the earliest report was that he’d likely be ok in a game or two. 19 year old kid. I’m optimistic.

 

[Slick]

High ankle sprains can be 6 weeks. Ugh.

Depends could be grade 1 high ankle sprain. That’s 2 to 3 weeks. Grade 2 ankle sprain can be 4 to 6 weeks

Did we know about Bouk and a skateboard?
