Tarris GTD

With all of the apprehension over what we may be able to accomplish in December without a full roster, all of the worrying about how it may impact our seeding in March, all of the whining, criticism to the point of slander, questioning of character, I can only draw one conclusion: quite a few members of our fanbase are soft.



And someone needs to lock this thread.
 
he's saying double "bigs" in general

I mean if you look at the BIG 3 in front of us. Az, Michigan, Duke, all have a bigger pair at 4 and 5. A Reibe at the 4 could be interesting or at least give some different match ups. That could neutralize those teams while they don't have the guards we have.

None of those teams have anything better than Demary+Ball+Mullins+Malachi
Exactly & with tribe growing confidence & comfortability he can stretch the floor still with his potential as a shooter
 
I believe Reed was held out to give him a chance to play this game with florida bigs in tow … like Arizona they’ll present a tough physical task for Reibe along Kansas was an exception bc they are bangers like Florida & zona bigs … so I believe he was preparing for this game for the past few years 2+ wks

Why? We're actually mostly on topic here, which is a miracle. 😀

Let him heal and get Reibe more experience- those are win-wins. Reed just isn’t physically ready to play. The chances are real that he might injure himself again & perhaps more severely. Reibe at 100% is better than Reed at 50%. An injured Reed does not increase the chances to beat Florida. It just doesn’t make sense to me to have Reed risk further injury if he is not physically at 100%.
You need to scroll back and read Brookfield Husky's post and Borges' tweet.
 
Let me just say this: If he misses tomorrow and somehow we beat Florida and their talented bigs, without Bear, I am going to start wondering if he is our best option at center. Reibe is improving with every single game. Again, to be clear: I want him to play. I love Bear. But if we beat yet another ranked team without him, one must start to wonder.
I’m looking forward to tonight’s game. I’m not worried about who might play. I’m concerned with who will play. Every extra minute that Reibe gets out there ultimately will make this team a better team going forward.
 
the twin towers comment interesting....i suspect the goal is to get karaban more on the perimeter...or maybe the goal to get him more rest.

Will be an interesting look.
So taking more min from Stew?

Tend to think the same - if he doesn’t play, I’ll be surprised.

We need to beat Florida for a shot at a 1 seed. How can you assume he’s at 50% after fully practicing the last 2 days? That sounds like 100% to me.
Reed at 60-70% with just with his presence alone is better than no Reed at all. He has to play tonight We got to get these last two non conference wins cause then it could be cupcake city once the big east starts -as we all know it’s not as strong as it usually is. Not cupcake city - but u know what I mean. I know it’s nitpicking, but it’s really going to bother me if our only loss this year is to Arizona by four points without Reed and Mullins —that’ll be a shame. This team is good enough to run thru the big east - as of now Who cares if he starts in two weeks against DePaul? We need him now for the next 4 days. Then rest him for the next month. I know I’m talking a little bit crazy but seriously. Can u give us 12-15 mins tonight and Friday? Then he can rest till the nfl playoffs start for all I care. lol
 
After Texas we have:

Home Butler
Away Xavier
Home Marquette
Away PC
Home DePaul

That takes us through Jan 13. Then we have the Seton Hall away game, then away at Gtown.

Those first 5 games should be layups. That is over a month for Tarris to nurse back in limited minutes. He better go today.

You are missing at DePaul which is after Butler at home. But point taken. Also just as important a ten day break between the DePaul and Xavier games.

No way is Karaban playing the 3. He is too slow footed to guard 3s. If we play with Reed and Reibe it will be limited to give Karaban some rest and give a new wrinkle. We definitely will not be playing this a lot as we do not want both to get into foul trouble at the same time which could happen. But it would be nice to see Reibe from the high post throwing a pass into Reed for a layup.
