Whaley Out

[KingAG]

Maybe we get to see a shooter next to Sanogo in the starting 5 today. Big game for akok

[awfuldan]

Damn. Glad they are being safe.

This is where our frontcourt depth really comes into play. May need Springs or Johnson to step up. Those dudes have to be ready.

 

[mussels]

Looking forward to one of our highly acclaimed Boneyard dehydration discussions.

 

[Tdaley]

Not a surprise. Better safe than sorry. I hope he is okay.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Whaley does a lot of stuff that doesnt always show up in the stats. That being said, Akok should be ready to go and play major minutes.

 

[UconnU]

Akok and Hawkins should get some major run today.

 

[Marat]

Not surprising and the right decision. Akok will step up.

 

[Dooooooomed]

Makes sense, but damn, big loss.

First things first, hope Whaley is ok and will be active soon. Akok is gonna cook up something good on Thanksgiving. Fortunate to have such depth.

 

[RichCTBB]

I’m thankful for keeping the player’s health and safety at the forefront. Golden opportunity for Akok

Good to see us being careful here with Whaley. Should help our offense a lot today though to play with more small ball 4s.

 

[UofCT]

Smart decision, no reason to risk it.

Good to see us being careful here with Whaley. Should help our offense a lot today though to play with more small ball 4s.

And the thing is, our guys aren't "small ball 4s" They're 6'9 and 6'10 respectively. They're stretch 4s who also defend the basket

 

[HuskyHawk]

That certainly changes things in a game where depth was already going to be tested after 2OT. Hope Akok gets the start and has a huge monster game. I expect we will see lots of Hawk as well. Martin being game time decision is certainly a concern. Johnson and Springs may see real time today.

[Hi-Low]

Considering how worried everyone felt for him when he was laying on the floor yesterday, that he's ok is a big hallelujah.

If Martin plays he might get some run there.

But yeah this is a chance for akok to shine

Ain’t it great?

Versatility is a beautiful thing.

 

[KingAG]

Does he start Hawkins/Gaffney and move Martin to the 4. Or does he start Polley or Akok?

 

[KingAG]

Akok gets the start!

 

[BFieldHusky]

And Martin playing.

 

[KingAG]

And Martin playing.

Kid is TOUGH

Guaranteed Karl Ravech is going to push it too far with the air fryer and Akok on Thanksgiving Day…

 

[JB75]

Whalley not playing ? Really? That can’t be his decision.

 

[coachn]

Have to play Hawkins Does not have to start.Get him minutes.

 

[Kolumbo]

I wonder what Whaley thought of this. If everything was normal, why not be available for a few minutes here or there to help on D. 23 years old. Drink plenty of fluids. Swat some shots.
