Tre Norman time.

Kolek
Stevie
Joplin
Gold
Oso

Could be a pretty lethal lineup but the boys are gonna be gassed.  Big Al might get some minutes back in his hometown area.

[CountryRoads]

Get well soon.

[GoldenEagles03]

Get well soon.

We went from, damn Chase is out.

Ok Sean too? WTF.
To
Kam is banged up now? Good grief...
To
Ok...we really can't afford another injury. This is really getting out of hand.

[Goose]

We will learn about this team tonight. If they are who I think they are, they will find a way to pull it out. Tonight is a game that we will see if they are real contenders or not, imo. It is not do or die by any stretch, but it could be a statement win in a big way. I think milkshakes are on the menu tonight.

[Johnny B]

Damn that sucks.. not feeling good about this one.One more injury and you're gonna see a walk on for a minute or two.

[Goose]

Who gets the start tonight in Kam's spot?

Tre Norman time.

Kolek
Stevie
Joplin
Gold
Oso

Lethal??  Without Kam Jones? OK....

Norman probably will start, leaving Gold and Lowery off bench.  Heck, maybe Lowery starts.  Anyone gets in foul trouble, could be lights out.  If not, they each go over 33 minutes of playing time.

If Neptune is smart, he pounds the ball inside to Dixon, hoping to get Oso in foul trouble and lots of drives to the basket by others.  Even though Nova likes the three ball as much as MU.  Big AL?  guess that's new Scoop nickname for Amadou.  Would like to see him, but Shaka probably doesn't. Good luck to the guys tonight.

Ya. Why not? Joplin and Gold have carried the load from 3 lately anyways.

Also. It appears Chase Ross is warming up with a shoulder brace of some kind. No idea if he is available to play or not.

Actually it started with "Ok Stevie's out for a few games, let's see what Chase can do..." to "yay Stevie's back" then your list

I mentioned Saturday the right approach may to be hold him out until NMD as that would give him a full 2 weeks with only missing 2 more games (not counting the Seton Hall win).  With Georgetown up Saturday, if he's not ready hold him out again.  Need him to be healthy for March.

Ha true! With a little Kolek scare in there somewhere too.

But I thought GoldenEagles03 said Chase would be out for 3 more weeks minimum.

Willie Hines?   5'8 walk-on from the Majerus era?   Finished the NIT game against IU?   I did not know he still had eligibility.

[GoldenEagles03]

Has anyone in here ever wore a shoulder brace before?

The shoulder feels like a tough spot to make a brace effective.

If he's not ready you have to hold him out regardless of who the opponent is.

If he's ready, he plays. I wouldn't assume that Georgetown is an automatic win if MU has to go in there short handed.

Kam's door is closed for the night.  Windows of opportunity are open.

[MuggsyB]

Damn.  Time for the Freshmen to step-up.

Sure, if he's ready for Georgetown, play him. But it's more important to be cautious, IMO.

Maybe a pad but I don't see how a player could be effective with much of a restriction on his shoulder. It seems like that would make it difficult to shoot or reach for a rebound.

Time for TK to be a first team AA candidate. He is the still the most important player on this team and time to deliver the goods. Hope the freshmen contribute, but this team is a led by the best players. It needs to be TK time tonight, imo.

No doubt about it Goose.  We have played better as the hunter anyway.  It's time to make an emphatic statement.

Look at the IG picture.   Wow.  Ain't modern technology grand?
