It would be great if the light went off and Sid realized this can be his time.
AgreeIf you play Whaley at PF
you have no backup 5.
Especially if our two bigs get in foul trouble.thats frightening.
Wislon has to be ready. Memphis has great athleticism probably the best we‘ve played this year.
You could even play Bouknight at the four in a pinch. with Adams at the three
If Carlton rebounds like he did today 13 boards . Mixing and matching is easier.
Akok is a big loss as he could have been the games changer.
It all depends on matchups .
We creamed Temple with 8 right? (No sid). You have to think that the next 4 games are wins, there’s 18. Sid probably heathy by March and we get to 20 maybe 19. A mid seed and maybe a win or two in the AAC tourney but since we lose Akok we need to replace a LOT of minutes. It’s gonna be tough to rattle off 4 in a row against stiff competition to get the auto bid.Hurley was talking about Sid's injury making it tough to play him.
We're down to:
Vital
Bouk
Gilbert
Carlton
Gaffney
Whaley
Adams
and a semi-injured Sid.
I still think they should get to 18 wins, but it's going to be tough. Need to avoid foul trouble.

We absolutely can win all 6. I would sign up right now for 5-1 though. Thursday will be a tough game at Temple. We already beat them in Gampel, but they will be looking for revenge. It looks like our last big game of the year will be when Houston comes to Gampel on Senior night. That is another opportunity to pick up a huge win in a payback game.
If we do go 5-1 do we have a chance at getting a top 4 seed in the AAC tournament and a bye? Probably not, right?
Not sure if he'll start or not but I don't think it's a knee jerk reaction. Whaley has been playing pretty well (probably our best big) for a while now.And that's why I put in the comment about Hurley may like idea of bringing Whaley off the bench. The knee jerk reaction is "Whaley played awesome against Memphis. He should start in place of Akok." I don't necessarily agree with that.
If I had my druthers (and I just checked and a have several in work bench), I'd start Adams at the "4" along with Gaff, Vital and Bouk. Obviously we know Vital can get boards down low. Bouk has shown to be a good rebounder crashing from the weakside. Adams has the physical strength to at least make a bigger 4 work down low. Regardless, there is little room left for error, injury of foul trouble.
That'd give us Tulane in round-1, likely date with Tulsa/SMU in the second round.
I’d signup for that, its a path to 20 wins and a visit to the NIT with a potential home game. Of course we could grab a 2nd round win, but we are playing with 7/8. The back to backs will be tough. I dont think a 2nd round win and 21 wins get us into NCAA tho.
Who was it that got injured clearing the way for Marcus White to step up and get minutes?
