Groce said tonight on his radio show that Nunn and Finke were unable to workout/practice today and that they are both questionable for Wednesday night.

So if they are out the starting lineup would be:
Tate
JCL
AJ
Hill
Mav
Of course, injuries are not a valid excuse.

That win was against a top 5 Wisconsin team last season. Though I think that that may have been without Traevon Jackson for the Badgers.

If they don't play Wed., we're without 5 of our top 8-9 players. Wow.
If anyone still doesn't feel at least a tiny bit sorry for JG and the team after this news, not sure what to say. JG may need daily visits to the shrink after this season ends. Has to be torturous for him and for the players to go through all this. I coached sophomore ball for several years but thankfully never had to endure a season like this. He's got to be given one more year after a debacle like this one.
Groce needs daily visits to the shrink? How about us as well? My goodness, I have never seen a team hit like this in any sport. Wow!!
Groce: Michael Finke did not practice today for the second day in a row. "Very unlikely" for tomorrow.

Groce: Nothing structurally wrong with Finke's knee. Just has pain and swelling. Certainly will get better with time.

Groce: Nunn a little bit more probable than Finke. Will trust doctors on whether one or none can go tomorrow night.

Groce: Kendrick Nunn will be a gametime decision. Finke as well. Nunn more probable than Finke.

Groce: More than likely Malcolm Hill gets some more minutes at center if Finke's unable to play. #Illini
Game Notes
BTN: Cory Provus and Shon Morris

And would leave us with KL, AA and DJW as subs (assuming MT is still not available.) Time to see what the freshmen can do. Or time for Hill to score about 60.
Someone earlier said we'd be missing 5 of our top 8-9 guys. I wrote out my rankings (IMHO - feel free to disagree with me). I am also including Darius Paul who I saw play 0 minutes ever:
1) Hill - Active
2) Nunn - GTD
3) Coleman-Lands - Active
4) Thorne Jr. - Out :tsk:
5) Black - Out :tsk:
6) Abrams - Out :tsk:
7) Paul - Wasted opportunity / off team
8) Finke - GTD
9) Morgan - Active
10) Jordan - Active
11) Tate - Active
12) Lewis - Active
13) Austin - Active
14) Liss - Active
By my count that would be 6 of the top 8 guys. Starters would be #1, 3, 9, 10, and 11 best players on the team with only #12, 13, and 14 on the bench to give you any minutes.
We might lose to Rutgers, guys.
