He was walking very gingerly to the locker room after the game. Felt more like Ford thought we could win without him so no need to push it.

It would be nice to give him a rest against Fordham, as well, along with Jacobs and anyone else who might be banged up (Goodwin, Hargrove, Perkins). I'm not saying we should sit all of them, just limit their minutes and give guys a chance to heal up before some tougher games down the stretch. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that we beat a better team than Fordham with Collins on the bench and Jacobs mostly out or limited, and if things are going well against Fordham, give the healthier guys more run in this game. The goal for a 300+ NET team like Fordham is to win by 10. We can do that and still give some guys more rest than usual. We need them healthy for the rest of the season. I don't want to see Goodwin aggravate his shoulder up 18 on Fordham. CBFan likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched him walk off the floor at the end of the game. Pretty good limp. Just guessing but I would be surprised if he played Sat. Hopefully we won’t need him.

Jacobs injured foot or ankle in Bonnies game. He played a little bit in RI, but was not very effective, seemed like he did not move that well, and perhaps hesitant,. Did not play in the second half at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I would be fine sitting Collins vs. Fordham, going with Goodwin-Thatch-Perkins-Jimerson-French as the starters, giving Goodwin and Perkins as much rest in the second half as possible, and keeping Jacobs on the bench. We beat URI by 10+ without those late spread-busting 3-pointers, and there's no reason we can't beat Fordham a lot worse with these roster limitations. We have La Salle again next week, and then road games at Dayton and VCU before a home tilt with Richmond. No need to delay recovery or jeopardize injury against Fordham.

billikenfan05 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 There was a lot of info actually in that Youtube Pregame Show. They did indeed mention that Perkins and Jacobs were both a game time decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Back when we were on top of the world we were half joking that our second five could beat most teams in the A-10. Well, we certainly can play a game against FORDHAM without Yuri and Jacobs and still feel very comfortable that we will win. I'd rest both and probably wouldn't even bring them on the trip if I thought they'd heal better sitting on their couches at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACE Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 If Yuri and Jacobs don't play, that's all the more reason to consider playing two bigs (HF, ML, JB) more often. I don't recall a combo of those two being on the floor at the same time last night. This is not a knock on Ford, who I respect as a better than average x's and o's coach, I would just be curious on his thought process on why we don't show this look, considering Bell and Has played together quite a bit last year. And this year, we add a really solid 3rd big with Linnsen, so foul trouble is not as much of a concern. I just think it's a potential advantage we're not using. I think it would free up Has to go against smaller opponents. I thought Russell held his own in small doses and we're going to need him to give us more minutes. Also, an opportunity for Fred to take on a bigger role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 As for Jacobs, the announcers said prior to the game that he was nicked up. No mention of where the nick was. JGood did seem to be paying attention to his shoulder last night. When he knelt down at the end of the first half I think he was just gassed. Playing the point and hustling for boards and steals will do that to anyone. I hope he's ok. Russell is still a work in progress. If push came to shove against Fordham, I'd like to think we can take them with a 8 man rotation of Fred, Russell, TJ, Perkins, French, Jimerson, Bell and Linssen. That's assuming JGood has a shoulder issue. Problem would be at the point. Some on here have said Russell's not really a PG just a small 2. But he does seem to have good handles.

CBFan Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Sit the injured guards and play Russell, Hargrove, and Thatch more. I would like to see Strickland in. The bench is deep with players, play them this is why a deep bench is important. Russell had 1 assist and 1 steal and no turnovers and is probably a better player than the Fordham point guard.

ACE Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Fordham is obviously bad, but considering we've only played two road games and lost both, I'm nervous as hell about every road game until we actually win one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not nervous at all about Fordham. The only thing that gets me nervous is trying to rest players, and experimenting against Fordham.
