Any word on what’s up with Mirk? Can’t be flu still right?
Also hoping Jakstys doesn’t have another concussion.

Next man up. Feels like a good spot for the Indiana kids to show out against Purdue.
Are we playing “prison rules” in practice again or is Mirk still sick?

Last time Mirk was questionable he played most of the game.
We’re going to need him to do the same again today with KB still out too.
Let’s get a signature road win!!

This is getting old. Two years in a row with this stuff. If we're down two starters for today's game, let's just move on to next week.
From a personal standpoint, I don't want ANY of our kids injured.
From a game today standpoint, doesn't matter. If we see him in another game where we're not up 30....we have MAJOR troubles.
Why does our program constantly haven’t injuries or sickness. We are the most snake bitten team in the country

Isn't it more like 5 years in a row?
With Mirk limited and Jakstys out, I'm not entirely sure how we're going to rotate Tomi or Z, but I don't imagine we'll see any twin tower looks and probably lots of Humrichous minutes. Unless, that is, we go small and try to shoot them out of the building from three.
Go for it. Play Twins at same time 30 minutes each.
Purdue doesn't have 1 key thing. We have a Keaton, they don't.
We ALWAYS need his rebounding, even at full strength, even against the bottom feeders of the league. He is by far the best rebounder on the team. Against TKR and Cluff? We need him to be a monster.
Jakstys came in for 2 minutes after Z went out and did not get come back in until we were up 27 with 3 minutes remaining.
The 2 first half minutes was because Tomi needed a breather and Z couldn't play because he also had 2 fouls. I suppose we could have went small with Mirk or Ben at the 5 though.
Don't think I'd go as far as to say we have (uppercase) MAJOR troubles because Jakstys played 2 minutes in the first half in a game where our regular backup center was in foul trouble vs an opponent such as Maryland... not trying to just explain this away, but I also don't think this was the precursor to Jakstys joining the rotation on a regular basis or anything like that.
Well said.
Only 5.5-6? If David isn't playing, we'll be lucky to keep it within 10 for long.
