Kolek Update

[Newsdreams]

My intercostal muscle strain is hurting bad again. But I’m hitting the courts tonight. It’s go time, for Tyler and me. #Warriors

Trulys for pain killers after?

[HowardsWorld]

I had a vasectomy on Thursday and I can barely walk. I’m sure this is worse than an oblique.

[MU82]

Expect Tyler to play this week.

0 really? Tell us more.

Marquette will play in the Big East Tournament. Obviously. They will face two outstanding teams. If they play in the championship I believe Tyler will play some minutes and that will be determined by the score and the situation. The team is playing well. He wants to play but Smart will decide if it will be beneficial and advantageous to push him or rest him another week.

In the 64 tournament Marquette isn’t playing in Milwaukee. It doesn’t matter where they play. I don’t believe any of these top ten schools will be playing in home town courts so what does it matter? Marquette is ready and will play well anywhere they step on the court. They’re ready to go. It won’t matter where or when. Are they playing in the Midwest, or the south or the west? Don’t brother my brain. The team is ready to win no matter where they go. Rest your mind.

Love it Oilcan!  You the man!

Saw that and that’s great.  When does the real one come out?

It’s go time. I love how you think and appreciate your posts. I hope you enjoy every minute of a a deep run and keep us up to speed on your thoughts. Hopefully,  you will enjoy the games over a few cold ones with your buddy Barry.

I had a vasectomy on Thursday and I can barely walk. I’m sure this is worse than an oblique.

The most painful part of that for me was when they removed the tape from my chest.  Ouch.

[oilcan]

If I play a regular season game and get hurt I sit out and get healthy. And then I come back. That’s understandable and reasonable. You can’t blame me. And I believe in the next man up.

Tyler Kolek is not going to say, “Well, that was a crazy injury. I didn’t even get hit by anyone. I just twisted myself throwing a pass. So I don’t know, maybe I’m done.”

When the cards are dealt and you don’t have the hand you need to win you walk away. Until the next time. Tyler doesn’t care about next year. He has to have it this year, he has to have it now.

Tyler is not me. Or you. He’ll shake you out of your jock strap. You’ll see.

Hey, don’t ask him to get a vasectomy. I stopped watched weirdo shows a long time ago.
I’m tired. I hope to we get to hear everything you guys have to talk about this Thursday.

I don’t believe he will be waiting til the championship

Give us an update in 30 days. 😉

[Daniel]

If Ty.ervis ready to go for the BET, we will see him play limited minutes just to get him back in rhythm.   But not expecting a lot of minutes.    We will see.  Hope he is 100% and ready to rock and roll.  Go Marquette!

If he needs 30 days, he probably GOWNE

He’s never playing for the Golden Eagles again

Rico,  you’ve said this definitively a couple times.  Can’t tell if it’s sarcasm or not.  Inside information?

[MU82]

He’s never playing for the Golden Eagles again

YOU'RE never playing for the Golden Eagles again.

Zing!

So, if true, we are down to at most 2 additional potential games/dates for Tyler to play before NCAA - Friday and Saturday.  Just not sure I feel its worth it to essentially accelerate his return by a full week if he still isn't cleared for Thursday?

My concern is on the defensive end - I just see teams wanting to run him through a lot of ball screens.  The pounding I see Stevie Mitchell take getting around/through ball screens seems to entail a lot of direct shots to the ribs/oblique area, is almost alarming at times.

That being said I have zero expertise on these matters, just opining more from a seemingly common sense perspective.

Lotsa common sense in there, sir.

[wadesworld]

Well, hopefully we either win a couple games without him, or the committee just takes MU at their word that he'll return with nothing suggesting he actually will.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

If he's not ready for tomorrow, he shouldn't play in the BET - and my guess is that he won't.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Might as well sit have Kolek sit out the whole BET.  Get right for the NCAAs. 

Not expecting the committee to do us any favors seeding wise. Either get to the BET final without Kolek to earn a 2 seed or expect a 3 seed.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

2 or 3 seed makes little difference IMO.
