Tarris GTD

[NJHusky]

From Hurley's media session today. Not ideal

 

[TroyHall98]

Frustrating to say the least. I hope this isn’t a theme throughout the season.

 

[TroyHall98]

If he doesn’t play, did they rush him back versus Illinois? He had absolutely no lateral movement.

Considering how he looked on Friday I'm not surprised. I would be surprised if he doesn't actually play though

 

[NewBlood]

Get through the gauntlet, we need to win these Kansas, Florida, Texas games for March seeding. Give the big man a long rest over the holidays into mid January

It's too bad he can't tough out some pain.

 

[Palatine]

I hope he plays even on a minutes restriction. He was good on the boards and opened space against Illinois.

Good thing we are going against Self and not Painter. I heard some poster say Painter is better than every coach right now.

You sound like my old Coach and I'm still limping.

 

[NJHusky]

If playing could cause more damage, you sit. If it's a pain threshold, you let him play if he feels up to it.

 

[Conndog]

Preserve his health and maybe the season- give him the rest he needs. I’m happy with Reibe’s play, Braylon is more ready to launch than ever, and UConn is really solid at every position. Having Reed play when not 100% is not worth the risk

Exactly. He wouldn’t be playing if there’s a risk of more damage. That’s why I don’t understand people saying to rest him. Minutes restriction, for sure. Same with Mullins although it sounds like he’s good.

Game time decision

Great time dude?

….. or game time decision maybe?

Yeah this is frustrating especially if the Kansas freshman plays

What does gtd mean?

‘Go the distance’ in the Field of Dreams voice. Take home #7!

 

[Edward Sargent]

Our man Dwayne Koroma with 2 pts in 45 seconds hopefully translates into at least 20 in 15 minutes

For what, PC and Xavier?

Ankle stuff becomes chronic if it doesn't heal, then strengthen. Best case is he is in a cycle of light it up, calm it down, worst case is he rolls it again and it becomes more susceptible to rerolling the next time he rehabs and returns. Better off taking the poison now in a small dose and surviving than taking a big dose later and dying(No Tarris when you need him). Tough call, delicate balance, but all you need is a 6 week healthy runup to tourney time and he's be raring to go 100% healthy. Basically Feb 1st gives him 6 weeks to the BE Tourney. Extreme yes, 100% healthy and ankle strong, probably.

I actually think our OOC games are more important than BE games.

We don’t play StJ until February - these are the games that matter. We can sleepwalk through the BE slate to rest players. This should be our hardest game left, and most valuable. I’m sure another 15-20 minutes isn’t going to go chronic on him.

From Hurley's media session today. Not ideal

And not one single follow-up to it by the "reporters" on the zoom.

 

[Leebo]

What does gtd mean?

I always see it and think "good to [something]". Dunk? Drive? Drop a dime?

 

[50cPitchers]

Might say more about Reibe than Reed. The way Reibe played against Illinois may have given them more confidence that he can start and we can rest Reed until he's 100% vs rush him back to have a chance in these games
