Obviously I am being tongue in cheek - shades of what some said about Ford and Perkins. These things just happen. I agree, makes sense he was in.. Just highlighting for context. Depth is important - I don't know who they'll tap to replace him for late game situations over the next game or so (if out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Covid still scares me and should every team. I heard today there are 39 NFL players sidelined by the plague. This thing can hit any team at any time. I don’t know how they avoid it. The vaccines limit the effects but they don’t eliminate getting it. Praying we paid our Covid dues last year.

Taj79 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Holmes has a big head. He'll undoubtably try and take over. Adaway is the glue but he's no point running guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crewsorlose Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 The Bonnies can still win the league and if they stay healthy they'll be favored to do so. But the early returns aren't great and w/o Lofton they could lose 3 of the next 5 and really hurt the A-10 by falling out of NET top 50.

I just hope they’re smart and don’t rush him back from this injury. Given their depth, I could see lots of pressure to bring him back quickly. If so, this injury could easily nag throughout the year.

HoosierPal Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 More info/speculation from SBUnfurled. And from the Olean Times Herald Presumably, if Lofton is to miss one or more games, coach Mark Schmidt will move shooting guard Jaren Holmes to the point, where he’s played (and succeeded) in small stretches before, and elevate either Quadry Adams or Linton Brown to the starting lineup. Adams and Brown each recently missed one game (Northern Iowa and Coppin State, respectively) with non-COVID-related illnesses, but figure to be available for the Bulls. Schmidt could also employ a bigger starting five, with Jalen Adaway at the ‘3,’ and Osunniyi and Karim Coulibaly at the forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Lofton was diagnosed witha high ankle sprain. Once that diagnosis came out, St. Bonaventure went dark. Injury news became top secret. Then out came the 'day-to-day' classification. Message board talk says he is out likely three weeks (or three games) which would include Buffalo, Uconn and VaTech. Jaren Holmes would have to move to PG and either Linton Brown or Quadry Adams get the start. There is some minor talk about playing Osunniyi with Coulibaly but while both are big, both are offensively challenged. Linton Brown was out with a non-COVID illness and should be back today. Never heard of Mellouk until the Wiz above. Sc hmidt says whoever gets the time has to use their practice time to take advantage of this opportunity. Well ..... if past practice is any indication, no one has earned any playing time because they haven't played at all just yet. Buffalo currently holds a two game win streak against the Bonnies and the Bonnies open as a 3.5 point favorite. The Reilly Center i ssold out and the game is on at 4 (all times Eastern) and on NBC Sports Digital. We are listed as a two point favorite against UAB. The Joey's (+22.5) are at Villanove on Fox Sports at noon. Umass (-5) hosts Harvard also at noon. Rhodey is at Providence (-4.5) on CBSSN at 2. La Salle (-13) hosts Holy Cross on at 2. How bad can Holy Cross be???? Charlotte (-6) hosts Geedubya at 2. Dayton (-17.5) continues its cupcake schedule hosting Northern Illinois at 2. Davidson (-17.5) welcomes Bill & Mare at 3. In a good one, a 6 and 1 Campbell squad goes into Siegel against VCU (-10) at 4. Closing out th enight, Mason hosts Old Dominion (+6.5) at 7 and Duquesne (+7) goes to Marshall also at 7. All games on ESPN+ unless noted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that Ballwin played 19 minutes, scored 13 and had 6 steals. Ward has a 'tweaked' ankle and sat out tonight. Brown-Jones, one of their rotation, was out, in concussion protocol. Holmes has been an adequate backup PG for the Bonnies. In his two games as PG, he has 17 assists and 3 turn overs. I'll take that any day, every day.
