Was at the game near the MU bench and he looked like he was in good spirits at the end of the game and postgame. Nothing from him and the players/coaches he was interacting with suggested something awful.

But that could mean absolutely nothing. Hopefully just a tweak that he can play through.

Title: Re: Kolek
Post by: wisblue on February 29, 2024, 06:53:22 AM
Not sure what to make of the fact that he returned to the game briefly after he went to the locker room once and then decided quickly that he needed to come out.

Hopefully an indication that it isn’t too serious and that he can return to action without limitation after some treatment, even if he has to miss the rest of the regular season and BET.

In addition to the Dominic James flashbacks that we have all had, I am flashing back to last year’s NCAA where I will always believe that Kolek’s thumb injury was a significant factor in his subpar game against MSU.

OK, HowardsWorld and TSmith set the parameters. Using those, we'll put the O/U at:

15/5.5/4

The majority of categories wins (e.g., 16/6/3 would be Over; 14/6/3 would be Under).


I'm taking the Over. Sincerely hope I'm right.

I'm hoping that the  20 point lead had a little something to do with why TyKo checked out of the game and stayed out. I'd like to think that he was saying (or at least thinking), "I can go" and the staff convinced him that the game was in hand and he should take the rest of the night off.

Agreed. This seems to get overlooked often. He had been playing at such a high level for many games before that and was a shell of himself v MSU. Between that, D James's foot and Diener's hand, late season injuries have been aggravating. Glad Tyler came out quickly last night rather than try to play through it. Just have to hope it is a mild strain but will be really unfortunate if he can't play these next two with the way the team has been playing. Deep breaths. Wait and see.

Seeing Markannen missing a month in 2020 and Shabazz missing a month as well in 2015. So as far as NBA oblique timelines, it appears a month is most common. But we obviously don't know the extent of Kolek's strain.

In addition to having no idea of the relative severity of Kolek’s injury, I’m not sure if the NBA situations are the same.

In the NBA load management is common, so there is no reason at all to rush a player back. They might come back sooner if it were playoff time, but NBA teams have the luxury of playing the long game.

While it would stink for the team to have him miss the big games coming up, if we knew that Kolek would be out for the rest of the regular season and BET, but be as close to full strength as possible for the NCAA first round, I think most of us would take that.

Frankly, you should have stopped there. You don't owe anyone an explanation. Either you've got a legitimate source that you really should protect (which, for some reason, I am inclined to believe) or you're full of crap. Assuming you're talking about a legitimate source, there's really no reason to give that additional information about him. There's no upside and you really don't want to cause him any problems.

This is what I'm hoping. By definition, the oblique injuries that are going to be reported on are those that are more serious that will cause missed time. I suspect that there are less severe cases that never get reported because they're just tweaks that cause pain/discomfort but don't affect playing time.

Tie breaker would be record vs top seed in which Creighton is 1-1 and MU is 0-1 vs UConn. Next would be whoever ranks next which would be record vs Hall, which they are 2-0 and we are 1-1. Basically we lose most tiebreakers if we do not beat them and finish with a similar record.

Definitely in an expecting the worst, hoping for the best mindset.

Best Case: TKO went BACK into the game after the doctors looked at him. Still didn't feel great when he went back in, they were up huge, and pulled himself, because why risk it?

Worst Case: The thing got way worse overnight and like most of these injuries, it's 2-4 weeks.

That requires Marquette to lose out and seton hall to upset UConn. I don’t see either happening. Frankly even with the injury to Kolek I believe Marquettes beats UConn at home. Without him at creighton however it could be ugly

Anyone know the tiebreaker for the 2/3 seeds should Marquette and Creighton have the same record and split the 2 matchups?

Record against top team, then 4th place teams, work your way down. So if both finish with 6 losses and MU loses to UConn, Creighton would be 2 seed with win over UConn and MU getting swept by UConn. 2-3 not a huge difference except times. Would rather be 3 and avoid St Johns than be 2 and have to play them as the 7.

TK is needed in the NCAA and unless 100% I hope he is held out. There really is nothing to be gained over the next two weeks that is worth taking any risk, imo.

If they leave that decision solely up to Tyler...he is going to play.

When Kam sprained his ankle it sounded like he made the decision himself to play and they didn't stop him until 5 minutes in when they realized he looked very hobbled.

I agree, hold him out if there is risk, but I won't be surprised 1 bit to see him playing on Saturday.

I have little concern over what seed MU ends getting. A healthy TK with a 3 seed is far more appealing to me than a 2 seed with a less than healthy TK. This team is built to compete with the top teams in the country and being healthy is top priority, imo. That said, I think they can beat and/or win the next three without TK.

I agree with what you said that can win the next three without Kolek. I believe that @creighton will be harder without TK than at home vs Uconn even though Uconn is better. I think the home crowd wills the team to a win regardless if Kolek is there or now. Winning at Xavier is not easy test but this is a top 5 team and should take care of business.

My guess would be a 3 seed, or maybe a 4 if a couple of teams that are currently close pick up 2 or 3 big wins.

Then again, if the NCAA Selection Committee treats an injury to a key player the same as the College Football Playoff Committee, MU might get left out of the field completely.

Think our seed would be impacted considerably if MU loses the next 4 without Kolek. Committee may not believe he would be healthy for NCAA in that scenario. Major cause for concern if he doesn’t return before NCAA.

With Sean Jones already out, losing Kolek would create a depth issue in addition to the talent and experience issue. In a big game Kolek would play 35 minutes or more and Ross would get his usual 20 or so. Ross would get additional minutes but Norman and Lowery would have to cover some of the rest.

And it’s not just covering minutes. Kolek sets the tone for the whole offense and there is no sugar coating how big his loss would be

Here’s the Kolek pass that produces clear discomfort and - soon after - leads to his exit from the game for good.

https://youtu.be/Cb_ACCRdW7M?feature=shared

Looks like the actual injury came on a pass with about 16-17 minutes left.  He checked back in for 40 seconds, and this was his response to his first pass.  That isn't a good reaction at all to trying to play through it.  Seems like more to it than just, "We're up 30, I'll take it easy."

To be honest, while I would be disappointed as a fan if he was unable to play for a month, I would be far more disappointed for TK. This kid has made MU basketball become the place to be for other players and his legacy is cast in stone to me.

If this ends up being the case, you wonder if the disappointment would be enough to bring him back for one more year.  Would be a really tough note to end on.

On Twitter, D. Bowels said Kolek is fully expected to play Saturday. He did have a few things right in the past, so who really knows what to believe.

Personally, all I want is Kolek to be healthy leading into the tourney. Would prefer if we stay with the 2 or 3 seed in the BET, but eyes are set on getting past the first round.

But to say one would certainly accept losses in order for TK to return for the tourney is getting ahead of themselves. No one knows if two weeks of rest ensures a god damn thing.

Can't speak for others, but all Goose and I have said is that if sitting out the next 2+ weeks helps Kolek heal properly so he come back healthy enough to play in the NCAAT, that's all we'd want.

Neither of us said sitting out would for sure let him play in the NCAAT because, as you said, nobody knows yet.

Sitting out 2 weeks may have no absolutely no bearing on an injury which we have very little insight until an hour ago…….which still is very little.

Just making an observation that scoopers willing to mentally sacrifice the final 4 (maybe more) games SO that TK will be 100% healthy for what we really want is umm meaningless and self serving at best.

Actually I think what people are saying is that TK not playing the next couple of weeks is fine IF it helps him recover for the tournament.

Of course if he plays Saturday, no one is going to be upset about it.

Just about everything Scoopers say is meaningless, WRFF, including what I'm saying here and what you just said.

We have no control over who wins or loses games, who Shaka should or shouldn't play, how long injuries take to heal, etc.

Everything on here is either reaction to something that happened or speculation about something that might happen. Welcome to sports fan boards!

I will be happy to go 0-4 (meaningless) to have TK back when it really matters…….which we have no idea if that is the case.

I will be happy to win the rest of our games, culminating in a national title.

Saying that is much more meaningful.

Didn’t know the injury will be complete and finished only once the tournament starts.
Thats the apparent timeline for those who know nothing about it. Seems silly….and meaningless.

Honestly if he’s good to go on April 6th that’s all that really matters.

I’m certain he will be.

5 weeks to judge.

Doctors have told him best idea is to rest. So Tyler agreed and will sit on the bench.

He won’t play again until the second weekend of the tournament.  Definitely out the rest of the Big East season and tournament
This would be a kick in the nuts. I can only imagine how the poor kid would feel

Quiet! Our opponents might read this and then know what our strategy is without Kolek on the court.
