Cashmere Wright may miss Saturday's game

[Dawson Rental]

Cincinnati's starting PG may not play on Saturday after spraining his knee at DePaul, Tuesday.  He and perimeter guys, JaQuon Parker and Sean Kilpatrick provide the bulk of Cincy's offense.  Earlier in the year it was said that the key to beating Cincinnati was to disrupt their transition game and limt either Kilpatrick or Wright's scoring.  Here's the link to CBS Sports' story.

"Coach Mick Cronin said on Thursday that Wright's status for the game is uncertain.

"Obviously there's minor adjustments we'll make that are some pluses, some minuses," Cronin said. "We probably become a bigger, more physical team when he's out of the lineup

Humm, maybe some more time with Vander playing PG for Marquette?

More Information from a Cincy message board.

"Cashmere Wright was not expected to practice Thursday but Mick Cronin said that doesn't mean he won't play Saturday against Marquette.

Cronin said there are a lot of days when Wright doesn't practice as a precaution so that he doesn't put too much strain on his surgically repaired left knee. Before Tuesday's DePaul game, Wright was held out of practice because he had a stiff lower back.

Because Wright sprained his right knee in the second half Tuesday, Cronin said he wouldn't risk having him practice Thursday no matter what.

The UC coach gave no hints as to whether Wright would play Saturday, continuing to list him simply as "day-to-day." If Wright can't play, Cronin could shift JaQuon Parker from the No. 3 spot to point guard or he could start Ge'Lawn Guyn at the point. Both have spent time at the position this season."

Does this mean we can't include him in the racist "Coolest Name" poll?

I don't know what it is about your face, but I just wanna deliver one of these right in your suck hole.

I do too. His presser after the Cincy-Xavier brawl was epic.

Suck hole is underused.

Is Cronin a little guy? Every time I've seen him in person, it's been from the upper deck while drunk. Maybe I don't like him b/c he seems to have little man syndrome. I feel like he's been trying to get the BE to take him seriously has a head coach since the start of his tenure. Btw, I use the word "tenure" way too much now. Thanks, buzz.

Yes.  Extremely douchey

Too bad it was just his suckhole flapping around... obviously, he didn't have the cohones to back his words up.

FYI
In response to overwhelming demand, I added Cashmere to the coolest name poll.  I am assuming his mom was, like me, a huge Led Zeppelin fan.

But for the record, a significant number of you who insisted it was the coolest name can't even spell it correctly.

anyone else notice that we've played a lot of teams with injured key players? Wisconsin was missing gasser and bruesewitz, pitt didnt have woodall, Hall had 3 players out, and now Cincy might be without Wright? seems like we're playing all these guys at the right time. not complaining!

[LloydMooresLegs]

Though we caught G'Town pre-Whittington suspension. 

[Coleman]

Ge'Lawn???

Edit: Dumb joke deleted

Though we caught G'Town pre-Whittington suspension. 

And the evening dew helped with the Carrier classic....

Cronin sounds a little like Buzz in describing a knee injury as 'day to day'.  Of course in college ball one doesn't put out a formal injury report.  I'd personally be surprised to see him play and am trusting that Buzz is preparing the team for either possibility.  Scratches that are total surprises (like someone getting the flu) often can't be properly taken advantage of.
