Tarris Reed Jr Out vs Arizona

[YearoftheHusky]

So much for informative day before press conferences.

Did you want Zona to have more time to prepare?

Thread 'Is Az our toughest game this year?'

Yesterday at 6:14 PM

I haven’t seen them play but they already beat UCLA and Florida.

I know Illinois is ranked too and we have St. John’s, but the scouting report makes Az seem like a pretty complete team

Yes.

The right move now is to keep Reed out against Bryant and then have him ready to go, if he's ready, for next Friday against Illinois.

Could've used Singare.

 

[Conndog]

C’mon Reibe!

 

[RuffRuff]

This is precautionary.

Sure, but these OOC games are huge and we have a tomato can coming up. If he can even limp through this one, would be better than the alternatives. If it was announced until now, was likely close to playable. Kind of thing where back in the 90s, kids would play. Today's mushy types don't have the grit.

This game is huge. Hopefully our 6th man (crowd), is something and we get some suprisingly magical performances from the unsuspected.

C’mon Reibe!

Need coming his coming out party

 

[Scoe]

Damn well we just lost.

I’m Not watching. It’s going to be a massacre. I’d rather rewatch the Duke/Kansas game from yesterday.

Grow a pair. If you’re scared get a dog. I still have the dogs!

Game definitely got a lot harder. Need Reibe to grow up fast.

 

[Son of Robert]

We got this, there are other ways to win.

And the the legend of Rrezon Elezaj was born

Doubt he's coming out - just needs to play solid, and Hurley is gonna have to get really creative with his rotations.

 

[Mr. French]

Excellent to put dough on UConn only to have their best player declared out 2 minutes before the game

 

[TRest]

Let’s go small ball and run them to death.

 

[HW611]

Wouldn't be surprised if our Bigs can't match up with Arizona that we just got with Karaban for stretches there.

 

[BGesus4]

Looked like a tailbone issue after he fell vs BYU. But he definitely looked hobbled

I’m actually intrigued to see how Karoma fairs out there tonight. He’s not a long term solution, but I think he can hold his own for a night. It’s the offense if we can’t hit 3’s that I’m concerned about and rebounding

 

[TheShot1990]

We may see Elezaj tonight

I have no Rzezon to believe he gets minutes

 

[rich1122]

I can’t see a Win without Tarris.

USA 🇺🇸 couldn’t beat Uruguay 🇺🇾 either.

 

[KingAG]

If we shoot the ball well from 3 we win. If we don’t we won’t have much other ways to score unless Reibe grows up fast

Definitely the BYU game. I was there, saw it and saw the difference after he fell.

Suprising he can't just muscle this one out and then sit against Bryant. Throw some darned anti inflammatory in there. His presence alone would make a difference, totally different team without him.

Terrible that it had to happen to Tarris, but at least it was at near the end of the game. I saw that game in person, too, and it was noticeable the way his movement was restricted after Robert Wright 3 rolled up Tarris' ankle.

Silver lining, hopefully Eric Riebe is eager to show what he's got and not nervous. Also, let's hope this is the last of the injury bug for Tarris for the rest of this season. If it had to happen, I guuuueeeesss, this is the time to have it, better than late February and March.

Last year, the injury bug really derailed the season for a team that already had a small margin for error. If Liam doesn't get hurt, Hass probably does not get hurt from the overuse and I think the ceiling on that team was Sweet 16/Elite 8 (maybe Final 4 in a favorable bracket).

Koroma time

Usually, I think Karoma could fair well. But Arizona’s center is 7’2 250.

May be just too big for him.

Does anyone know if Mullins is playing? He's dressed and warming up with the team.
