No excuses tonight

[WNConn]

Even just missing Hawkins is really hard. I hope we win tonight but just not seeing a deep run here. I was really counting on Hawkins to hit his stride for the conference tourney, the injury is a huge bummer.

Someone posted Hawkins is out for the Big East tournament, I have to imagine Polley is playing.

I think Hawk is done for the season. Not officially but with a concussion that he seem to repeat i dont think theyll take any chances.

This just reminded me of a scene in We're the Miller's.

We should handle Seton Hall with who we have. If we win, and assuming it’s Nova tomorrow night, having a healthy Hawk would be huge. But if he isn’t, he needs to rest and get back in the gym to be in shape for a week from today

It sucks, im only thinking of tonight. Guys gotta step up. Hopefully Hawkins has progressed and is good to go for the tourney.

I know he has been a non-factor, but what about Akok? Or is he already Akooked for the rest of this season?

Very good point! I would hope that Hurley gives him playing time. He can be a factor going forward, especially once we get out of conference play. I hope he is not Akooked? I always look forward for Akok to play.

But they determined he didn't have a concussion the first time from the elbow to the head or else he would have been in concussion protocol and wouldn't have played 4 days later. So he's had 1 concussion (that I know of) and he's going through the protocol until he's out of it. There is a reason there are measured specific steps to the protocol. I don't see why he wouldn't play after that is over and he's ready. Athletes all over the world do that, including kids. If he's not ready then he doesn't play. I don't think "taking any chances" has anything to do with why he won't play the rest of this season.

Look Out Below!!!

“We’ll see what he does in the tournament,” Cole told Gavin Keefe of the New London Day. “I’m sure he’s upset by it. I’m upset by it.”

Hurley "l...if you don’t like being left off [all-conference], go get MVP or All-Tournament.”

Tyrese Martin heads into Big East Tournament with chip on his shoulder

The senior was left off each one of the Big East’s all-conference teams.

Protocol not rest will determine when he gets back in gym.

Lose to Seton Hall we should consider dropping basketball. They are a garbage team.

Never underestimate your opponent, just play to win.

2 hours until tip. What am I going to do for 2 hours? If I leave now, I might be able to score some scalped tickets and be in my seat by the under 16 timeout.

Well go!

They’re down Aiken and possibly Richmond. Even with Richmond, it shouldn’t be a problem. The game shouldn’t be close. We’re playing at our second home. No excuses

You need to anticipate a tough game, every game at this point. It may not play out that way, but that’s what you expect and prepare for - both mentally and physically.

Will always watch that every time its posted. Kills me. "Well I am awake and speak english, so I do know what you are saying."

This is NOT the scene I think of when I think of "We're the Millers".....but okay.

Look at @Chin Diesel #13 post. That reminded me of that scene of We're the Miller's.

The Double Deuce should be enough to get the job done.

How do you think they'd stack up against AAC teams this year?
