No Davante for Cincinnati

We could always get into some fist cups with the Bearcats and sucker punch Yates.

We could always get into some fist cups with the Bearcats and sucker punch Yates.

With DJO in a postgame interview saying "we zipped 'em up!" and "we just a bunch gangsters."  What a nightmare.

This is not good news for De' De'.

fist cups?

is that related to the rapper Fisticuffs?

Buzz's comments the other day on the show make it sound like he's getting closer and that Saturday is a game time decision, which he also said.

Also, comment was made Monday night that Davante tried to play Monday, but wasn't ready yet. If he's trying to play Monday, I feel confident that he 1) will return this year and 2) Saturday is literally going to be a game time decision.

Respect!  De' De' is a much better name than OX.  Wtf is OX?!  Joe Fulce would agree.

Nice!

Hopefully, 4 days of uninterruped practice for Juan and JJones gets them closer to being able to give a few quality minutes.  

Buzz wants 3 bigs, 3 PGs, and 7 switchables.   Next year could be the first time he has gotten there. 

Never really thought of it that way, but you're right.

Big bummer on Gardner. I think we can beat Cincy without him, but it makes our margin for error pretty small.

I nicknamed davante THE BOWLING BALL!! hahhahahhaha

I was at that inaugural club football game at Marquette Stadium too, Lenny. We sucked major ass, certainly kicked Detroit in hoops, though. BTW, its after 4pm in Toronto.

There was a pretty big (but uncoordinated) guy from our floor in Schroeder who was a starting lineman on that team. When I found out he had been a 3rd string guard at Mt Carmel HS I knew we were in trouble.

On the 3/4 o'clock issue you're right, but since Dano said the booze was already doin' the talkin' I figured he'd been there for awhile. Not criticizing, mind you - those afternoon benders can be awesome.

Lot of bummer bobs and negative nancys on this board...

This.  Have that many of you not sprained a knee before?

No, i personally haven't.  A lot of sprained ankles, but never a knee.  What's it like?

I think it'll be a close game without Gardner. If we had him, I'd take us 10+ points.

While Yancy is a beast, he's averaging 13 points and 9 boards in 31 minutes.

In comparison, Jack Cooley is averaging 11 points and 9 boards in 27 minutes.

We held Cooley to 8 points and 8 boards in 24 minutes due to foul trouble. Game plan will be the same for Cincy, help defense inside and rotate out to cover the shooters.

Cincy is shooting 36% from the arc, and ND is only shooting 33%. Kilpatrick and Wright need to have an off night, and don't let Sanders become a star.

I too was a basketball player like Davante, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

[LloydMooresLegs]

hard not to assume the worst with a 280+ lb player on a bad knee and a very uncertain timeframe.

Watch it Burrow! 

[4everwarriors]

Nothin' worse than watchin' a 280 pounder with pulled groin.
