St John's Injury Updates

[NJHusky]

Hass is a worrier so I'll buy the gamesmanship theory.

I hope he’s not worrying too much I’m sure he’s a warrior too

Gamesmanship or not - it’s concerning that we are still so beaten up after a week off.

6 days off isn't that long. Plus Mahaney got hurt in practice yesterday.

Ross is not a great ball handler and he certainly is no point guard. St. John’s will strip him silly.

What a dumb question. Double bigs of course. Or the vaunted Triple Bigs!

So five men in the paint and let SJU shoot the ball, lol.

How are these guys getting hurt in practice? I know no one is playing defense.

I agree that there's a level of gamesmanship here, but not with Diarra when the talk is about him playing through this the rest of the season. That's a real injury

Ben Gordon will use his final year of college eligibility to play PG in this game.

5D chess by Danny. We have the Johnnie’s right where we want them.

I see my doctor tomorrow, but I think I'm probably out as well.

Yeah, could get ugly.

Upon further reflection, while no one is playing quality defense I am quite certain the players are getting fouled like crazy. And you get unlimited fouls in practice.

+1 Singare playing the point

I mean, you'd have to think he could see over whomever was defending him

 

[CL82]

That's a good question, I would say Ross if it comes to that. He's been playing better, at least defensively. It will be trial by fire for him. Not a great scenario playing St John's.

If only we had a guy with Big East point guard experience.... hmmm maybe Hurley is working on a special waiver for a fifth year.

Reed and Johnson can d up

I mean, Taliek will be at the game.

Based on what I understand Diarra has tendinitis of the knee. That is something you can play through. He had 6 days to rest it, if not ready tomorrow when will he be?

Let’s see what happens - would be hysterical if he’s messing with Pitino. What is a minutes restriction - 39 or under?

Aren't knee problems what scuttled his brother too?

We really shouldn’t have Diarra guarding Richmond or Luis. Solo and Stew gotta grow up on D, fast.
