Well it was nice being relevant for about 10 seconds.

 

[KingAG]

Lol we're toast

Geezus, the injuries with this team the past 7 years is just insane. Hurley will be forced to play Samson and Diggins now, maybe Springs too.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Certainly this should mean Whaley at the 5, with Johnson backing him up and Akok at the 4. Polley probably plays some 4, but he's one of the backups for Martin at the 3. All hands on deck.

This team has been snakebit by injuries for several years now, but in some cases, we rose above it and gave guys like Whaley an opportunity they needed.

 

[huskdogs]

Positive spin: Sampson Johnson should get some valuable minutes now. At the very least we’ll get to see what the kid can do

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Sanogo has exceeded expectations and this one will be really tough to adjust to. Wish him a quick recovery.

Some silver linings:

• About 80% of St. Bonaventure's offense comes from the guards and the wings. Osun Osunniyi is an elite interior defensive presence, so w/ Sanogo out, UConn's offense will not be inside-out, thus neutralizing Sanogo's effectiveness potentially being hindered by an elite interior defender.
• Basically the same point for West Virginia. 2/3rds of West Virginia's offense comes from the 1-3 spots, so outside of Jalen Bridges, West Virginia's bigs are mostly defensive specialists.

Good grief between Martin and now this - about as bad as it gets injury-wise

 

[MexicoHusky]

i appreciate the honesty from Dan Hurley. They don't always do that. They say day-to-day, indefinitely.... or some other vague language.

Also, when Whaley gets a lot of time, he’s a monster. Think the end of his junior year..just trying to be positive guys lol

 

[KingAG]

What is our schedule up until the new year?

And Hurley is never like that. So when he's saying a few weeks or longer....it's bad. Could foresee this being a back in Feb type deal.

this will benefit us in the long run, time to start laying the foundation for 2023.

People have to stop saying every injury that happens is a long term benefit. No they aren’t. Winning is the biggest long term benefit and this does nothing but hurt our chances to win.

 

[Woodson]

I think we are going to need to pick up the tempo with him out. Run faster offense and try to get more possessions

 

[Dooooooomed]

Injury plagued every single season. SMH.

 

[navery12]

Well people are gonna get their wish of more minutes for Akok and the freshman. Hope Akok shows more than he has so far this season, if he does we'll be fine

 

[KingAG]

After sitting with this news for a few minutes, it isnt the end of the world. It will either propel us to higher heights by unlocking some of our other pieces. Or we'll stay afloat until mid January. We can do this!

 

[Conndog]

Why is he out? What is the nature of his injury, any idea when it happened?

 

[BigFanCT]

Cue the "time to gear up for next year" posts. This has been happening since 2015. When will we get our chance to say "lets do it this year"?

2015.

Hurley had plenty to say about Akok figuring out ways to contribute and his minutes not being “dead minutes” like in the Bahamas (30 minutes with 0 points). Anyway, injuries aside, this is what we’ve all been asking for in regards to getting the pups some time
