TSJ going down was horrifying. Glad he’s alright. Hope Nico gets healthy soon. He’s going to be useful this season and I’m excited to see what the future holds for him.

Edit: And now DGL comes up limpy. I hate this.

Argh, Nico in a boot and DGL rolling an ankle

Hope the injuries are just minor tweaks. Lots of scares there today

I'd imagine the boot is just precautionary to keep the swelling down. Hopefully just a badly rolled ankle that will be good to go in a few days.

Over/under 147.5. Final 148. How do they do that?

And on a completely unrelated note, can I borrow some money?

Hoping it was just cramps. He seemed to improve pretty rapidly.

Nico looked surprisingly good tonight. He will be a great pg down the road. Hope the ankle isn't too bad.
TSJ is a load. As fast.

I still think the road to success is with Dain starting or playing heavy minutes along with Coleman. Guerrier can still play heavy minutes, just need him off the bench to spell for Coleman and Dain. Dain has his weaknesses just like several of the players on the team, but relegating him to 5-10 minutes hurts the overall flow of the team IMHO. Having Dain down low seems to define everyone else role better.

I say this Sencirely: The need may arise for another guard in the rotation…

Looks like a high ankle sprain. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s out for a bit, but hoping for the best.

I didnt see it - based on what? Do you know what a high ankle sprain is, how it's different?

DGL is fine...fingers crossed on Nico, but should not be too bad-if he was in crutches would be a much worse sign.

With that being said, much better tonight. Need to take care of the ball a lot better though, still a lot to improve on

 

[jacekpardol]

Best Illini showing yet. Dare I say we look much better when Ty isn’t running the point? Also, Domask is starting to look like a mid major transfer. He’s a liability on D.

Dain is such a beast in the paint. We have to find ways to get him in the lineup. I’d like to see Coleman at the 4 and Dain at the 5 starting. Also no more Ty at PG.

What should have been fun was maybe a little less fun with some of the injuries.

Shannon giving Trent Frazier like energy this season with his effort on both ends.

 

[doowink]

Gotta get this turnover thing under control....especially those unforced!

How does the staff feel about Nico? He's given us some good minutes at pg, but I can't tell if his game translates to the B1G right now.

Good thing we have the best treatment center in the country ... Fletch and Paul will get the boys fixed up ...

Before Spain ... Very meh ...

Since Spain ... Stock has only gone up ...

He's going to be a valuable piece as an upperclassmen ... Really has started to click for him ...

Normal sprain involves the ATF and CF and is typically an inversion mechanism, high ankle involves the syndesmosis and is more of a rotational mechanism, typically internal rotation

Before someone comments on Quincy's shooting struggle ... He is still fighting that wrist injury that he has been all season ... It is getting better but that is the reason the shooting has dipped ...

He is a much better shooter than he is showing and that will show once that wrist heals up ...
