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.

 

Id be shocked if Curcic plays unless bad foul trouble or Meadows injury flares up really early on

Better to get him some minutes now in case he's needed come conference time?

Broken bone in the foot is NEVER good news. 50-50… or worse for a return this year.

My question would be moving to an 8 man rotation.  Would that take the Bills out of a faster pace game?

According to pundits in the building, it’s a clean break.  Out six weeks.

We just have options there.  We're not really thin otherwise Id agree.  One thing to look for in how we play for the next month is to see if we take a more defensive approach with Parker out.  Thames and Hughes getting more minutes may produce our strongest defensive lineup, and if it works, I cant see curic playing much with his defense. but who knows

Not too late for a redshirt is it?

I think it will slow it down yes, but less parker and more hughes and thames means better defense.

And he didn't look horrible in his time thus far......

It’s there if needed.

Assuming that’s true, that puts him on schedule to return at the start of conference play. Could definitely have been worse.

Changing your pace of play because of Parker's injury would be a mistake in my opinion.  You got horses so let them run.  By changing all you do is place a burden on the other players who are prepared to go fast.  Parker is not the PG so it should not cause a ball handling issue

We like to joke about this, but that trash can had some serious D1 offers.

Conference season time.

Vermont is good.

[billikenbill]

Thank goodness for TJ.

[billikenbill]

Got to play smarter, two bad takes to the rim and a dumb foul by Medley. Can’t waste possessions or put them on rhe line.

[wgstl]

Never mind defense isn’t any better without Parker. This is embarrassing.

Go to the game day thread, my man.

Ridiculous. Full strength this team can play with any team in a weak A10, there is still hope this season.

My question was made before knowing the actual injury.  I Sincere can get back this year great.  If not, has he played to much to redshirt?    

[billiken_roy]

I'm waiting for the "re-evaluation" that has been said he will get in St Louis 

My guess is Coastal Carolina does not have the medical equipment to truly know the extent of the injury.   Fingers crossed we currently have a worst case prognosis and will be pleasantly surprised with a Thanksgiving gift.
