The unfortunate part of the UPG game was Radford was in a boot and Dallis Dillard also left injured. That was the perfect game for both of them to play heavy minutes. No timetable was given on Radford but it doesn't sound season-ending serious. Dillard's injury wasn't a new one but a lingering one. He was iced up most of the second half.
Ethan Porterfield also left early with a tweaked ankle. He was sick entering the game. Jack and Tony said after they felt he'd have played on had it been a bigger game, so, it doesn't sound very serious.
That was a stat-stuffer game but Kyle Polce did have an excellent outing. His confidence is visibly growing with each game. He's starting to 'play' now and not so much react/play. Whatever they have left in them this year ... he's a huge piece of it. They need 7-8 ppg out of him and for him to stay on the floor as a top defender.
Ousmane Diop put on quite a show with 4-5 big dunks. He's making it harder for Joe not to play him. I think he's ready for an upgraded role. He's far from a finished product, but with his size/speed, he just has a way of being involved in everything.
