TWWITER TRRRACKER!

#mubb's @iGetBuckets_54 will miss tonight's game vs. SHU with left knee sprain. His future status will be evaluated on game-by-game basis.

Crap. Crap. Crap.

Crap. Crap. Crap.

I think we will be fine for this game.  Juan Anderson, maybe even jones are going to have to eat up some minutes somewhere.

[MisterJaylenBrownMU]

Our roster is quickly starting to look like Missouri's.  Only without Ricardo Ratliffe.

Get well soon, DG.  (No, seriously, SOON.)

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

WELLLLL that sucks. Hopefully he'll be alright come Saturday. I think we can get by tonight, but the game just got a lot more interesting. We NEEED to have a quick start...none of the down 15 ten minutes in crap.

I'm concerned about this game... This is a must win situation for Seton Hall and Pope was going to be hard to stop even with Gardner.

I agree.  Don't have the best feeling.  We don't even have a big man for the game and I don't see Anderson or Jones doing anything if they get extended minutes.  Hope I am wrong though.

Assuming it will be JC, DJO, Blue, Crowder, Wilson I think we will have enough speed/athleticism/talent to win.  Maybe it won't be the prettiest game, but all they need to do is get the W

Crowder slides to center. Jamil starts.

It's just like last season, except Jamil has to play like JFB.

Shut down Theodore and no quick fouls on Crowder or J. Wilson.   That happens and MU should be fine.

Ditto. If that dude from UWGB put up 22/15 on us sans Otule, imagine what Pope will do without both of our centers. Need huge foul-free games from Crowder and JWilson. If Cadougan can keep Theodore in check that would be huge. He needs to play like he did the first 5 games of the streak. If the Nova Cadougan shows up we're in deep doo doo butter.

[TallTitan34]

This is actually good news isn't it?

The fact they aren't going to push him out there at not 100%? I would agree!

Beyond Pope, Seton Hall has really shot the ball poorly lately, almost too poorly. I mean, 27% at home (against Louisville), that's awful. They're bound to starting playing better on offense.

Unfortunately Marquette is known for allowing breakout games, to individual players at least.  Let's hope that we don't allow one of those tonight.

[Golden Avalanche]

This shouldn't be much of a contest.

You've got an average team playing very badly going on the road to an above average team that is playing well enough to win six in a row. I'd put money on MU eight days a week in this situation.

A slip-up here would be revealing, regardless of who is in uniform.

[tower912]

Depends on the reason for the slip up.    A quick whistle on Jae or JWilson and this thing could turn ugly and stay ugly.    If JJones and Juan are unable to contribute 15 decent minutes, see above.    Buzz managed to cover the loss of Otule.   Can he cover the loss of his second big in only 48 hours?   If he can't, he won't be the first.    If he can, it may be time to accept that the little OCD spud can coach.

I don't see any good news here. The information MU is providing doesn't rule out the possibility of a more serious injury that will keep Gardner out for several more games.

Let's see if he is able to play on Saturday or Monday.

This. Remember just as Otule's injury was initially ruled a sprain like a lot of ACL tears, it's still not out of the possibility that Gardner could've torn the ACL.

I hate to be a gloomy gus, but when he landed on that leg and fell Saturday I thought ACL for sure

Trying to think positive but ...

About 8 out of 10 serious knee injuries are first described as "sprains."

The good thing is that they are saying day to day, which they didn't for Otule. (Although not long after the injury, I believe Buzz was talking publicly about looking forward to having Otule back "soon.")

[WellsstreetWanderer]

The glass is half FULL... DG is "day to day"  Let's not start thinking the worst.  When he went down I did not immediately think ACL or anything but a tweak or sprain

[Big Daddy 84]

ACL Tear has been ruled out..it is his MCL.
