Mullins/Reed Status?

I hope Mullins tears it up. He is an Indiana kid and every reason to believe he will.
However, the kid hasn't played a minute of college hoops....lets cut him some slack until he gets on the floor.

He looked pretty comfortable vs Mich. State so I'm cutting him minimal slack. 😉 😂

At full strength I think we were going 6-0 in these games. The schedule is set up perfectly, these injuries are really frustrating.

Couldn't agree more with this. It is incredibly frustrating because this team at full strength, to me, could be just as good as the 2023-2024 team. That might be a bit of a stretch, but that's the gut feeling. The injuries are deflating.
 
Here's the point in the media availability last night where Hurley discusses Mullins and Reed coming back. He does sound like he's messing with everyone with the questionable/probable/doubtful thing.

If Mullins does practice all week as Hurley says is the plan seems like he is likely to play if he doesn’t have a setback.

It’s basketball…ankle sprains happen…no clue what you’re implying. That guys at UConn are more prone to ankle sprains because we’ve had 2 this season? What could UConn possibly be doing to cause them? We all saw what happened to Reed a BYU player undercut him

The players and coaches talk about how much harder our practices are than games, and that we practice harder than any other D1 team. This could contribute to it.

Well if that’s the case then I think two national championships is a fair trade-off for three ankle Sprains, but again only one of the sprains actually happened during practice

Isn’t it two? I think Mullins and Furphy were both during practice.

Nice.
Someday in the future, at full strength, we are going to be so fun to watch.

Mullins and Reid are potentially our 2 best players. Mullins looks like a star in the making already from what I saw. Taris is Taris.

But as with all D 1 teams injuries happen and next man up - no excuses.

Hurley said they are having Thanksgiving on Wednesday to give the tryptophan enough time to clear their systems by Friday's game.

Right it's like the passenger of the car who tells you to have patience in traffic, yeah I know I have patience, I have too much patience.

My favorite "backseat driver" story involves two other couples, and my wife and me, going into NYC for an event. Everyone was giving driver their thoughts as to where we should go coming out of the Holland tunnel. Apparently, by that time he was fed up and literally stopped in the stream of traffic and turned around and looked at me and said "and CL, which way do you think we should go? I feel as if it's important to get everyone's input." I just laughed and said that I trusted his judgment. Meanwhile, horns are blaring all around us and he's ignoring him with a very calm demeanor, saying "and everyone else? Does anyone else have any further thoughts?" The car was dead silent at that point and finally, he pleasantly says "great thanks for your help everyone."

I thought it was hysterical.

Hilarious. Sounds like the other five are posting in this thread.
 
I appreciate the patience posts, but I recall too well that the SEC rolled everyone in out of conference games and that led to a ridiculous, and undeserved 14 teams getting in. 3-4 of those teams were ass. So far, UConn lost a home game against the Big XII it clearly would have won. Now we may lose a neutral game against the B1G. These games could cost Georgetown or another Big East school a bid.

I understand Hurley is just worrying about UConn and having his team at full strength for February - March. So he's being cautious. But these games do matter. This year it's the Big XII that looks like it's wrecking everyone. We need to go 2-1 against their best.
 
Going into the season , what 2 players were we all most excited to see? Year 2 Tarris Reed and super steal recruit Braylon Mullins. We are still waiting. Can you blame the Yard for being ornery? It’s like getting up Christmas morning and hearing Santa hit traffic on the NJ Turnpike, no estimate on arrival time.

Well said. Every fan base in the country who cares just as much about their program, in any sport, would feel this way. It's not just the BY. We're still great fans, the coaches aren't doing anything in practices to cause these injuries, dealing with injuries is out of anyone's control, especially ours. So....it just sucks. Sometimes things just suck
