Upcoming game against 'braska

Completely agree. We have to keep in mind that the cavalry isn't coming. We have who we have and we are who we are. We have a very talented starting 5 and then we have Kriener and Evelyn and then Pemsl. That's it. The Top 5 are going to have to play a lot every single night. Nebbie is a must win if we are going to not be behind the 8 ball after 4 games.
I would expect that C.J. will be having a MRI sometime today or tomorrow, if it is more then just a sprain or a bruise. Only C.J. and people associated with the team really knows what's going on....if it's a long term problem, I would assume Iowa would put out a news release in a day or two. They won't or can't hide it from the public for too long without some news leaking out.....
Well that sucks. I guess this is a reoccurance of his earlier injury?
The announcers did, too. Stating he wasn’t as effective in the first half because of it.
He seemed fine moving around the floor and passing the ball to his teammates, other then taking the few shots he missed there was no noticeable differences then in other games he'd played in....then again, I didn't notice a whole lot wrong with JBO before he shut down to have his right hip repaired. I'm not trying to be funny here, I just didn't see any noticeable drop-off in both players performances.
Anytime we play Nebby, no matter which sport it is, it is a must win situation. Nothing gives me more pleasure than taking down the holers.
I'm really not worried about Nebraska. What are they going to do, foul out their whole team trying to stop Garza, or just let him score 2+ points every time down? Nebraska beat Purdue because the boilers are really streaky offensively. If they aren't shooting well, they are in trouble. We don't really have that problem.
Except when Fran puts Kriener, Evelyn, Connor, Pemsl, and Toussaint on the floor at the same time. Admit it, even you and others cringe and think Fran is wacko when he puts those five in at the same time....I'm sure Fran has plunty of confidence in his players and cares little what we think of his substitution policies but head scratchers they are, and will continue to be....
What's wrong with that combo? All five are pretty sound defensively.I think everyone of them is capable of providing some scoring. All are pretty good at distributing the ball and finding the open man. It's not like they're gonna be on the floor together for 30 minutes every night. Two or three 3 to 4 minute shifts will help this team a lot especially with such a short bench already.
I believe Fran has a weekly teleconference with reporters on Mondays. We should learn of CJ's status then.
I just know what to expect with that lineup... I look for more of a "maintain for a few minutes" strategy with a focus on defense. We can run the offense through Kriener and/or have Toussaint drive or Connor can shoot a 3 at the end of the clock...
Not our most potent lineup, but they're not usually out there for more than one TV timeout break.
