PJ Star 3/7

now I know why TB was on the bench so much the 2nd half when we were getting killed on the boards......hope his injury isn't too bad
 
Glad to finally get an answer about TB. I know that injury can be painful...........

--"Bradley forward Taylor Brown was limited to 20 minutes and four points as he aggravated an abdominal strain he suffered a week ago at Creighton."--

And I thought it was simply because our coach chose not to play one of our best players in the 2nd half of a must-win game! :roll:

To me, this seals the reason for no post season. We need a healthy, productive off season. TB needs rest. SM needs rest. SS does not need to tear up his knees any more....

but many of the playing time decisions are made with the coach having certain knowledge that we as fans DO NOT have...
which is all the reason more that we might temper all the criticism from the peanut gallery.
 
... and really, we have been lucky this year in regards to the injury bug. There is no reason to keep playing and further tempt fate.
we need a healthy off season to improve, not rehabing to get back to where we are now.

We have?
Dodie? DSE? SM's nagging ankle?

Those injuries did not change the starting lineup like last year (lost 2 starters), or cause a 1-9 slump like JC's hand or G's injury...

in comparison to past years, the injuries did not seem as terrible, and seemed more in line to a typical D1 team...

If Dodie hadn't gone down, and we just had to deal with Sammy's ankle and DSE for a month... I'd agree. But Dodie was a starter... just because we had depth there doesn't mean it wasn't a big loss!
 
he has also written two recent articles praising Creighton and droning on and on about how we need to be more like them...
but oddly, the Creighton people are going overboard lobbying for a bid to the CBI or CIT, and their press and fans are enthusiastically backing them...
So now we need to different than Creighton?

they are even talking ticket allowments and assignments...

also --
"CIT (and their chair Riley Wallace)...- they appear to want Creighton for their tournament."

... yes, we are different than Creighton. If we had 2 NCAA's and 2 NIT's in the past 4 years, I would not at all mind a CBI or NIT this year. But, 1 NCAA, 1 NIT then a CBI, CIT, I just think another CBI/CIT is too much in any 5 year cycle...

If our on campus arena could host games, I might be more open to the idea. I just think PCC costs are not the right thing for us right now in this economy..

Bradley has two NCAA wins in that interval, and Creighton has ZERO...
In fact they have only 1 NCAA win in the past 11 years (2002)...and more player turmoil that we have....I am not so sure we wanna be just like them...
 
Yeah I'm starting to agree....these tournaments are nice compliments to down years when you are used to going to the NIT or NCAA tournament but when it starts becoming YOUR tournament that's a little depressing. I don't mind if they want to play, but I could understand and even be happy with them deciding not to, with the injuries and stuff. I think we could get around the injuries though and actually USE the tournament for player development such as with AT, WE, DSE, EM, MK, and JE. We still have the whole team to play just dont use SM and TB or whoever else is hurt.
 
I really do not care because I will not pay for the stream. On injuries, they can happen at any time so what does it matter if they play now. I just injured my thumb playing pick up ball. If they are worn down then I hope JL plays the other guys for more minutes. Let's see who else besides SM can step up during crunch time. BTW...AW hit a few big shots this year. He hit a huge 3 against Illinois. AS I said AW will be much improved next year because he'll be consistent even an un-consistent AW is better then 99% of the players out there. He was honorable mention which is not too shabby folks.
