Chase I think is done. He was in such incredible screaming pain… It is just ridiculous
. I was really getting angry at the officials for not stopping the play to be honest... If a guy is screaming in agony and has pulled him self off the floor, you've got to stop it.

I was thinking the same. . . The kid is writhing in pain; stop the game so he can get help.
We've struggled at the FT line today. Grayson still trying to find his groove. Javin struggling on D.
Matt has been steady. We're sputtering but still up double digits. We definitely won't peak early this season.

Jeter hurt now. This season is really weighing on me. Our REAL team hasn't even played a game yet. We had two people hurt here because that Penn State Jagoff jumped on both their backs, no EFFIN whistle. We have to heal up or we are in trouble. Amile is about to drive me insane with his FT's.
I'm frustrated too, Show. It's just a carousel of injuries at this point. We don't even know what our team looks like! Here's hoping that playing through this adversity makes us stronger before it's all said and done.
Vrank has proven to be trusted, like to see him pick up some of chases minutes. Assuming he misses sometime
Brutal stuff, just gotta hope to win somehow someway from here on out until we get mildly healthy here

I do to at times but four games in with three key players already on the bench I see no reason for simply a small rotation even if just for a breather.
Our defense is pretty bad. Frank Matt and Amile can guard and that's honestly it. I know I'll get flamed, but quick athletic guards will absolutely butcher us this season. I'm sure K will make some adjustments though, I have faith. Also, when bolden is back that will help tremendously. That kid is a force.
With Giles and Bolden back, opposing teams guards will have a tougher time getting in the paint. Plus, we just played against one of the best backcourts in the country and definitely one of the best guards in Frank Mason, and even without Giles and Bolden we held our own pretty well.
I don't think you should get flamed for that opinion. I think it's true with the players we have at our disposal right now. With that being said we have an incredible amount of length and rim protection sitting on the bench out injured, and when they return then we can get away with a lot more perimeter lapses/gambles.
Yeah, this is one of those rare years where I think our frontcourt is going to carry more of the load than our backcourt, as we're seeing now when our frontcourt is so thin
We have to make sure Giles will be 100% first. But yeah I agree with those 2 coming back. It's mainly our guard defense that really bothers me.
True, I just didn't want people taking it the wrong way. I LOVE our team, I'm just seriously worried about our defense! I don't have anyone to vent my frustrations to where I live, everyone hates Duke lol
Confusing how we can get a nice solid win in double digits after a loss with basically 5 injured players and our fans can't stop crying.
I thought we played fairly well given the circumstances. We just don't have the number of players right now which led to a lot of defensive issues with guys not wanting to commit fouls. Javin got some minutes and proved he isn't capable at this moment. Vrankovic wasn't too bad though. Grayson is banged up with a toe injury and can't buy a bucket from 3. The two bright spots were Frank Jackson and Amile Jefferson, both asserted themselves well.
Matt is our old and experienced trooper who doesn't try to impress anyone, he just wants to help the team win the battle.
