Tough for Morez, get healthy big fella. Still plenty on this team and zero excuses for Brad. This is an ultimate back against the wall moment tomorrow.
I hope the "next man up" mentality rules the day. BU has a chance to redeem and get this team motivated to win some games here.

This really sucks! Just made my wish that we had recruited Somerville from Peoria or another big instead if having 2 redshirts ir a skinny Booth who isn't ready to play the 5 in the B10. That was a whole in our depth I was afraid of if this happened and it has twice.

Asked my m-I-l who is a doctor how long it takes to heal from that and her response was that it would usually take about six weeks to stabilize but it also depends what kind of fracture it is.

Should be a lot of apologies to Brad in here. Lot of people were shitting on him for not playing Morez last 8 mins. All makes sense now.

Came here to say that I was hoping to see Tre White play in this game (and last game) at the very least to get prepared for matching up against Duke.

Seeing Morez is out indefinitely makes that matchup wayyy harder. 😖

So where are all the apologies to brad? Everyone !!!! on him for not playing him the last 8 minutes. Obviously had a reason.
Noted and agreed. But Morez's baffling absence in the final eight is a drop in the large bucket of incomprehensible coaching and personnel decisions over the final 30 minutes of the game. I'm hoping it was just a bad night for Brad. Not long ago he made effective adjustments against OSU and we romped.

Do we really think KJ was getting to the rim all game and then just stopped because the coaches told him to? No. The 20% of bad 3s we take seem to over shadow the 80% of open looks we take. We had at least 3 WIDE open looks with about 7 minutes to go that we couldn’t make. You HAVE to take those shots. If you don’t take the open looks it becomes even harder to score inside. Also contrary to popular belief we were + when Ben was on the floor and -when he was off.
Dravyn comes in and gambles on defense like he always does and gives up 2 baseline drives for easy buckets.

And don’t make me go back to last year and find everyone’s posts about Tyler being a good offensive coach lol

This takes the staff off the hook now...plenty of reasons why we now get our !!! beat!!!! We have two redshirts sitting the bench. "Out for a while"......ha, ha.....a broken wrist in the middle of February = end of season my friends. The way Morez plays, I am not buying he gets back in action before the end of the season and it's not fair to him to play until his wrist is 100% and then some. Our best player gone for the season. So much for March Madness 2025!! Wow....talk about a season completely falling apart at the seems. Let's' see how the staff coaches this situation......
