We're going to rally around LHJ and Thames and we're going to play good baskeball

Like yesterday?

Contrary to my moniker, I'm not really a Doctor. 

That said, sometimes a broken bone heals faster than a high ankle sprain. 

Best wishes to Sincere on a speedy recovery.

There's this Jimerson guy still on the team who will likely be guarded by a guy smaller than he is.

In middle school I broke one ankle, and had a high ankle sprain on the other ( yes at the exact same time).  The high ankle sprain they put in a hard cast, and took WAY longer to heal.

After watching yesterday's game, I'll have to look up his cat and see who he is.

I'm surprised we haven't had a conspiracy theory post, with the AD hiding something behind a made up injury.

Still waiting on your apology for being wrong on Zhang any day now. You should stick to copy and pasting twitter links.

From what I've heard yesterday around 1:20 SLU was told that Parker was actually ineligible, so they decided to have Parker fake an injury to avoid liability and embarrassment for not handling the eligibility correctly.

Allegedly, a shooter from what I hear.

I suppose not!!!

Getting back to Parker, whether still eligible or not, I have Vermont winning by one. With Parker, I have SLU by three so the algorithm indicates that Parker’s presence adds 4 points to a spread.

Imo means more time to Thames.   I'm very  optimistic about Kellen 

Yeap, I get the same vibe with Thames…it’s like he’s on the verge of taking it to another level of which we’ve only seen glimpses…

Without an update from @The Wiz‘s computer, I’d say that sounds right: no Parker, we are underdogs

Elliot Welmer…probably

Agree, he’ll be in beast mode, most likely, sooner rather than later. He just has the look of someone who can dominate.

Definitely a Ford and May problem that we have leg/ankle/foot injuries to players so early in season

If anyone needs a smile right now...

Thames had a couple of plays yesterday that were brilliant. I think he's likely the alternative to Parker over a guy like Dalger. It will depend on his fitness and cramping issues as much as it will depend on how much Ford will put that kind of trust in him.

Is this your way of telling me that Knollmeyer has eligibility left and will be making a return to Billiken basketball?

 

That would definitely make me smile!

Confirmation of what Frank reported.  Does Ford shrink his rotation to 8 or does he add Curcic and keep it at 9?  We will find out shortly.
