Injury update?

[Shox21]

Anyone hear anything about VanVleet? He was favoring his left side very late in the UNI game.

Freshman aren't allowed to be injured.

We have had 5 players that have played in every game this season: Malcolm Armstead, Cleanthony Early, Tekele Cotton, Demetric Williams, and Fred Van Vleet. Of those, only one was a starter at the beginning of the year, and 2 have played through injuries.

So, we've essentially played the entire season with a varying degree of injury. If we somehow manage to get everyone healthy by March (and we continue to play at a high level even without 3 starters), we could be a team no one wants to play in March regardless of our final record. If we drop to a 12-seed (right now we are probably a 5 or 6 seed), we should be favorites to to "upset" whoever we play.

Fred and Demetric were injured when practices started and played through pain early. Cle was "injured" and thought he would miss a game, but came out and scored 20. Tekele is still battling an injury. Malcolm had a cold.

Malcolm's "injury" is more of a laziness thing than the other guys. I was counting Williams's ankle and Cotton's back, though I didn't think Cleanthony or Fred had major injuries (I remember it now though).

I think the greater point is still the same though. It will actually be a good thing that the MVC tournament is one of the earliest conference tournaments, because it will give us more time to heal. Though we seem to injure ourselves more in practice than in games...

Well, wouldn't you rather play Valley teams than the WSU second team? We're seeing which is better. Which is tougher. Which has more Cajones.

CBB fan may have more posts totaled in the week following the Tennessee loss than the rest of the season combined.

Strange how quiet that feller has been lately with all the winning.

White is reporting that a Drake player landed on his leg exactly in a spot that was already hurting - says he will be fine, just couldn't finish the game.

So does this need to change to the "Who isn't injured report"? Who isn't hurt in some way right now? These guys are playing through pain and still are kicking ass and taking names.

Are they still taking names? I thought Marshall already had a fully populated list.

I'm feeling pretty decent today, suit me up!

Good point. That list was full a long time ago. Now they are just making sure they remember.

What's wrong with these guys

Can Baker get a Medical Redshirt? What if we had Baker, Wessel and Van Fleet playing together for three more years? Oh my. Sprinkle in a little Derail Green and Shaq Morris for three years and at some point we might have a shot at Duke.

I consider your comment to be insulting! The Shockers are 13-1 and you make a stupid comment like this! We don't have to get good enough to play Duke. Were more than capable of playing anyone these days. You would be better off as a KU fan with your apathetic attitude. probably are.:livid:

It is great what these bench players are doing while the 3 starters are out. They are playing every bit like real starters. This is the kind of stuff that movies are made of. This is EPIC .
