Newton: It’s early but we hope he can go this week

[HooperScooper]

Only Jon Rothstein is privy to that info

I wonder what members of the UConn beat are in Oregon. I'm sure they'll know shortly.

 

[Scrutineer]

With Hurley, you just don't know. "He seems fine...day to day..."

Hopefully it's just a flesh wound......as they say when searching for the Holy Grail.......

Hurley has been a pretty successful college coach and that's his system. We're going to have to learn to live with it. But if you look at the quote below, it sure seems like Newton is fine.

“If there is any negative (from the Delaware State game) it’s just not getting Andre that cardio, into the 20-minute-plus range, Tristen (Newton) not into the 20-plus range, are probably the only negatives for me,” Hurley said.

I hope you are right man. I love Newton’s game and want to see him out there. I’ve obviously just been worried about him as he’s an extremely important piece to our success

Newton is not hurt. Hurley already told us. Y’all just refuse to believe him lmaoo. Lunacy

 

[imno1]

I always felt that no matter how hard you practice, kids still go harder and take more risks in games. Even when they are up by a lot. Stats are recorded and everything is official

I’d bet most practices are harder than a game against DS.

I don’t really take Hurley’s word as bond on injuries as he’s had a track record of not being clear on that stuff. That said, you are probably right, he’s likely fine, that 10% uncertainty just got to me, I’m aware I have been overly anxious about it

Likely true

But he wasn’t vague. He was very clear

I’m kind of over it now.

But I didn’t think he was clear at all. I felt he was making a guess at it when he was asked what happened. He did say “he’s fine” though

I dunno - he is bent over quite a bit!

He was clear as he was saying something that was clearly untrue (about him getting hit in the stones) so it made one wonder about the rest of it, given he doesn’t like giving information on injuries

“He’s fine”. You can’t be more clear than that

Dan Hurley is takin' notes on the Belichick School of Diplomacy re: communicating with the press on injuries.

Are we really sure it was untrue though? Because the clip was posted in this thread and you can see the defender's elbow flying straight towards him as he goes to the floor

 

[SeattleHoop]

Alright man we get it. You were right. Hurley was SUPER CLEAR. Take your imaginary trophy and carry on. Go UConn

I guess it’s possible.
I fully support how Hurley handles the injury info, but because of it, I don’t think we have any real insight into whether or not he tweaked his groin based on Hurley saying “he’s fine”.

Imaginary trophy? Go cook or something man. Lighten up

It was an unnatural stretch for him. He tweaked his groin. He was reaching down wincing in "pain" before and the defender came near that area. And he's fine. = All true

Hurley saying he got hit in the junk was not true but tongue in cheek to explain that in truth he'll be fine.

Yeah looks like he's limping also. Probably a no go tomorrow. </s>

If Borges says things look good I believe his take.
Are there no beat writers in Oregon?

Dom also.

If I’m a coach and up 30 I’m saving my starters. You never know what could happen. That’s just my philosophy. I understand what Hurley is trying to do though

Are you crazy! You are acting like KenPom doesn't take into account margin of victory. We can't let the spreadsheets and nerds win!

Need to play the starters until the final gun.
