Mullins/Reed Status?

[Palatine]

It is not whether they practiced or not. How they feel the day after practice will tell if they have healed or not.

Yes... and the quote was that "all 15 have practiced the last couple of days" which tells us everyone felt okay the next day. Right? Right?

 

[dennismenace]

Yeah keeping Bryant off balance was a brilliant strategy.

Kind of like the Normandy invasion.

Operation Overlord

Although I don't want to downplay the significance of that historic day. No disrespect intended

Maybe yes, maybe, no.

 

[CL82]

I bet you give the surgeon advice on how to do the cutting

Sort of. I once did local instead of general anesthesia during surgery, just so I could keep an eye on things.

 

[CL82]

Maybe yes, maybe, no.

It doesn't mean that all 15 practiced both days. 1 or more could have practiced two days ago and then was unable to practice the following day. Not that I think that's the case, but Dan Hurley is wily.

One of the following will happen
1. They both play.
2. Reed plays & Mullins does not
3. Mullins plays & Reed does not
4. They both don't play

That sums it up folks

Thanks for clearing up the confusion

They'll get loaded up with tryptophan today. Get lots of sleep and we'll finally have our real starting five on Friday at MSG.

Even if they both play, I could see Reed starting and maybe Mullins first off the bench. Only because Mullins hasn’t played since the preseason and for Reed it’s only been a couple weeks.

3 is over two years is not even close to statistically significant. It's bad luck.

Or as others have asked, what are you suggesting? Are we doing something wrong? Practicing too hard (I don't think you'll ever see a coach say they have to practice at a lower level to prevent injury).

But you keep saying 2 or 3 is a lot and suggesting it's an issue with something. Just want to know what your theory is for what's happening to make it an issue.

Just to clarify. 3 high ankle sprains in 1 season and 3/4 games. It’s equivalent to 1 and 1 tenth of a season. So if you’re being honest the player last year played approximately 1/2 of a season and the players this year would be 1 games out of 40 and zero game’s before suffering an ankle injury. The amount of games played is statistically lower considering the amount of the potential games missed.( this year one player hasn’t even played yet and the other only played in 1 game ). It does seem higher than what’s expected on an average season. JMHO, here’s hoping our favorite team gets healthy soon so we can get back to talking about victory’s and a potential long tournament run.

Both are playing tomorrow

Bryant is an afterthought, maybe no thought at all

Look these two come back and Illinois gets fed to the woodchipper we may be looking back at that Zona game after the season as an acceptable lost in context a la Kansas missing Castle when Clingan got hurt

That very well maybe the case. Don't forget, Spencer got hurt early in that game, too, and was a non factor for that game because of that.

I can’t help but wonder … are “Reed plays” and “Mullins plays” dependent or independent events? I guess we’d need more info, but there’s a potential test question buried in there.

Yes and we played exactly like they were an after thought. Instead of taking the opportunity to build some confidence going into the IL game. Especially knowing we were not sure what our two best players availability was going to be going into today’s game.

And whichever team scores the most points will likely win the game

 

[UCLJ0211]

One could argue that they would definitely win the game if they scored the most points.

 

[Husk04ies]

Also heard both are playing but with minutes restrictions which makes sense

 

[CL82]

From whom?

 

[Scoe]

I'm not buying the minutes restrictions at least for Reed, they either play or they don't this ain't Bryant. Hurley will take that paper and tear it in half or take that tablet and smash it into pieces.

 

[Husk04ies]

From whom?

Someone connected to program....just what I heard.
