Liam’s Return Is the Only Thing that Matters

If the doctor clears him to play he'll play.

Which doctor?

Not a witch doctor though.

He'll play, but probably limited minutes. You don't leak this to the press if he's not ready.

Maybe playing games with Shaka too.

"Liam empowered the whole group, but he's been gone now coming up on five weeks, if he doesn't play this weekend," Hurley said. "Removing one person's personality, like Liam, I don't want to put too much on the kid because he's still a freshman player. But his absence has been catastrophic from a basketball standpoint, and in turn, the morale. So it would be nice to get him back."

Hurley said he and others will talk to McNeeley Friday night, see how he feels after Saturday's shootaround, and a decision will then be made about his status for the 8 p.m. game. An update is expected from UConn spokesman Bobby Mullen during the day Saturday.

Hurley said McNeeley looked "pretty healthy" in practice Friday. Based on some stuff I heard and the way this has gone, if he doesn't play tomorrow I get the sense this isn't UConn's decision to make.

Nowell is a no go tomorrow. He's not getting much game rep for next season.

Gad zooks, he’ll be absent all next year too. Hopefully we avoid a years worth of catastrophe.
