Tarris Reed Jr Out vs Arizona

Did you want Zona to have more time to prepare?
You figure it reduces our chances somehow? If they prepare in the last 24 hrs for Reed but we don't play him, that gives us a real advantage? Is that a real theory? BYU was at a disadvantaged themselves by declaring their player out before nearly gametime and lost, so I guess you're right.
 
Usually, I think Karoma could fair well. But Arizona’s center is 7’2 250.

May be just too big for him.
But he’s not a back to the basket type of big. They don’t rely on him to score We should be fine defensively. It’s not having Reed as a dump down option that scares me. And rebounding. Reibe has the ability

Their big hasn't been the difference maker so far, but that's a lot of vertical. I'm gonna be really curious as to the creativity Hurley is gonna have to pull out for this one. How many minutes can Reibe even go? You got to wonder if the Turk gets some run in this one.
 
Terrible sarcasm recognition skills on your part, it's a mojo take.

I’d rather them not prepare for small ball while we do, so yes.

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.
Ridiculous take. You have zero idea as to extent of the injury and it’s lame to suggest that Reed, who just came back from a different injury, doesn’t have sufficient grit to play.

I think the Turk does get minutes in this consider Motiejus Krivas is 7'2 and is solid player. The other option might be to go small and spread out the Zona defense. Doing this though means UConn's small lineup will have to work hard for rebounding and on the double teaming on the defensive end. This game would've been good for Reed, not perfect for him, but good. Arizona doesn't have a lot of outside shooters so Reed wouldn't have felt more pressure to step up on ball screens or to hustle to the 3 point line to alter 3-pointers.

Can we play one freaking game at full strength?

This feels like the 57th time over the past couple of years where we get blindsided by some kind of injury news right before a game.

Also, shoot the trainer on general principle.
 
This place will be really fun tonight 🙄

People won’t understand that this game has been rendered meaningless.
Pretty damn meaningful if we win without our two most talented players.

Krivas is very solid but he's not going to beat you by himself, he's not that type of player from all the games I've watched of his. The problem is the rebounding. Reed is UConn's best rebounder and Zona absolutely crashes the glass.
 
He was playing thru it in the byu game- adrenaline- thing probably blew up in the past few days
This is our Kansas game from 2024 with a very hobbled cam. Let’s go!!!!!!!! Just show out. Reibe can be an issue. His Clingan moment as well.
