    Re: Iup basketball

    Some Media Day comments from Joe:

    On being picked as the favorite:

    "I appreciate being thought of highly but it's not something we get too excited about. We do have good players returning and we do have high expectations for this year's team. We look forward to competing against the quality teams in the league to try to bring back another PSAC West championship."

    On the tough schedule:

    "We're excited about the schedule. We'll be getting into the frying pan right away. We have two Elite Eight teams on the schedule, ... probably the only team in the country. Yes, it's a challenging schedule. I wouldn't have it any other way."

If it was, that tweet would still be up. If he wasn't injured in some capacity, nobody would have told him to take it down. That's why I believe there's some legitimacy here.

    But hey, he could be ready for opening night, look great, and we might never know what actually happened. That's likely what will happen.


    Getting any news out of that program is a lost cause. It's getting to the point I believe who is on the team (and available) when they come out to warm up. Until they have a uniform on ... on game night ... it's all a guess.

    I don't know what you're looking at but that tweet wasn't deleted. It's still there. I literally just pulled it up again for the third time!

    I tend to agree that's not a random-type 'tweet' (or whatever you call it).

    So, with that premise, you'd assume he could be out for a period of time or perhaps the season.

    Just playing the 'what if' game here, but what would that do the roster?

    Armoni obviously becomes the full-time PG. Him and Malik Miller, essentially, play 38 minutes (each) per game. Malik is their best defender but is also foul-prone, however, so that's a concern.

    I don't know where the Ulrich redshirt stood. I assume once Keyes vanished that was off the table. The injury would likely push Humphries to some guard duties (at times). Dancsecs goes from likely redshirt to 10-12 minutes.

    I guess we will learn a little more down at Rupp Arena in a couple days.

    All speculation at this point other than something on Twitter saying he was injured (again).

    So, before the first game:

    * Keyes DUI
    * Morrow left or got released ... or whatever he's not here
    * Dante injured


    Fantastic start to the season.
    Might be time for me to come out of retirement.

    Cobo may be the first 6'9" point guard in D2 history.

    For you twitter folks, take a look at what he tweeted this evening.

    Hopefully the first meeting will be a long time out -- likely the first game we have one scholarship guard dressed.
    Hopefully the training staff has done their job!
