Let’s hope the Hens can pull off an upset. Virtually no one gave them a chance at GW and they played great. One can only hope for a similar outcome.
GO BIG BLUE!

Hens lose by 12. Makes a difference if you had +11.5 or +12.5.

Is Houston Emory no longer on the team? With only 7 scholarship players it would be nice to get even 5 minutes out of him to help give Houser a breather.

Concussion I believe for H Emory

Kebe with 2 mins. Big men arent built to play 38 mins especially a guy like Houser. It’s a real head scratcher why he won’t play Kebe.

Not really looking for an answer, but how can so many 18-23 athletes be hurt at the same time? It is mind numbing.

He plays Kebe for a minute or two and then takes him for the rest of the game.

Even one of the assistant coaches tore his achilles last week jumping in to help at practice. It’s truly crazy.

- bizarre, unbelievable, ludicrous, etc etc- deja vu continually for how many years and an extension= insanity

obviously didn't watch our game(s) with one of the 2 BIG games on last night- what a dilly-right down to the last second! they were both grabbing.

box scores tell the story as usual

yeah!! -the other day when I read about the asst coach's achilles injury, I almost posted "well- what type of stretching and warmup activity is the team following"?. As a former coach like others here(at any level), we know that some athletes dislike stretching, etc and just go through the motions. Do you guys at the games watch the warmups and notice a lack of preparation to avoid this disaster?
so, is this the core of the problem or is it recruiting injury prone players as a last resort since most healthy ones are turning down offers? whatever- it sucks and necessitates an investigation-is it a conspiracy or the real thing?? :lol: :roll: :oops: :x

Sing along-"how long has this been going on"- Ace- google it and suffer the basketball program's, but still try to enjoy the cool delicate rock of the 70's :roll:
Keep the faith kick butt go Hens

apparently most here have given up after losses in commenting- accepting this debacle silently or not attending games will probably only prolong the agony. :( :oops:
