Re: Now our backup PG is out?

Heartl reported that Mekel missed practice today with flu symptoms. Could see PJ playing some PG.

What's next????

:cry:

probably another loss unfortunately

In the eagle it says PJ is playing through an injury? What injury are they talking about?

Some type of shoulder injury. :(

Time to suit up the water boy and towel boy.

So were going to be down to our number 4 PG? This could be very ugly.

Is Lance Harris our #4 pg? Wendell Preadom?

I decided to list our current guards (by number as in http://www.goshockers.com/SportSelec...51&SPSID=61183):
1 Mekel, Gal G
2 Couisnard, P.J. G/F
3 Harris, Lance G
5 Preadom, Wendell G
14 Hatch, Graham G
15 Michael, Bret G
We sure don't have many choices if people get hurt!!

The USA Today, in its weekly Valley report on Monday, said something along the lines of Cousinard "having to pop his shoulder back into place" before the last game. That kind of sounds like a separated shoulder...

druing the SIU game PJ popped his shoulder out, went to the bench in pain but returned. I'm sure he is a little sore, but its not anything he cant play through unless it tore or severely strained ligaments.

Sullentrop's shockwave blog said that Wendell would start if Gal can't.

It is a good read on many bball points.

Coach said his shoulder didn't pop out. He jammed it. So it didn't sound like it did any damage, just hurt pretty bad at that time.

I expect that Mekel will play. The question is for how many minutes and how well. Man has this been a difficult season so far.

[im4wsu]

I don't know where I heard/saw it, but something to the effect that last game if PJ lifted his arm above the shoulder, it was very painful. Tough to shoot if that's the case.

I'd be surprised if Gal doesn't play. But he won't be playing 35 minutes tonight. We're gonna need good minutes from Preadom and Harris.

[WuDrWu]

Not that I am counting on ANYTHING, but at least this matchup with UNI isn't as bad as, say ISU whose guards ran circles around us.

If we are going to be minus ANOTHER guard, this is probably the one game we just might be able to survive.

If yesterday was the first day he was showing symptoms (and indeed has the flu), today could be real rough for Gal - throwing up, achy, fatigued. If he plays at all, I bet it will be limited minutes. Maybe 10-ish.

I hope I'm wrong.

[shockall]

Ok, have Gal make sure he coughs all over the UNI players so that when we play them again in a few weeks, they are all sick. Germ warfare my friends.

Exposing the compettion to the flu bug will only result in spreading it among the Shocker players. Are you sure we really need this at this time.
Perhaps they should quarrantine Gal from all other Shocker players so we don't have a larger problem.

My Line I Would Like To See Is:

PG HATCH
SG COOZ
SF Mantas
PF RAMON
