Tony's article said Chucky has a broken bone in his left hand and is out 'at least' three weeks. That's different than Jack reported on WCCS (broken finger).

Joe will be stubborn and not activate anyone. He'll hope Benton and Ulrich can handle the extra minutes. Ulrich should be getting more time anyways.

It wouldn't be January and Joe Season if we weren't discussing why we have more redshirts and injuries than active bench players. Tis the season.

Ulrich wasn't a good fit last night against UPJ's more athletic, faster bigs. But I agree he's needed against SRU and Mercyhurst. Benton hasn't played a meaningful minute in over a month.

It does get old going through this every year with Joe. It cost him missing two tournaments during the Dante and Cobo Era.

Update:

Chucky has a broken finger and will be out 'several weeks'.


Now do you active a redshirt with 10 regular season games remaining in addition to the conference tournament and likely NCAA Tournament?

They survived Demo going down. This is starting to ask too much. They survived last night but how long is this sustainable?

Joe's dream of going all Norman Dale and playing with four guys is getting closer.

Activate the big fella, Ousmane Diop. I don't see how they have any other choice. KJ Rhodes is also available but another guard won't help a whole lot.

Well the next two games should be OK for more minutes for Ulrich and Benton, The Conditioning of these guys is pretty impressive, they had cal sucking wind at the end of the game, too. Once playoffs start, the starters will play the whole game anyway. Hopefully Chucky is back sooner rather than later. The next week against MC and Rock they will need him. Though, I think the smaller lineup could run Till&Co into the ground.

Update:

Chucky has a broken finger and will be out 'several weeks'. He'll miss the Clarion and Seton Hill games for sure.

Credit to Shawndale from playing about 15 minutes a game to 40. That's a big jump in minutes and he was solid. Defense still needs work...

Shawndale says it ain't easy being 6'3" and playing power forward ... covering John Paul Kromka all night. LOL. He was a warrior.

Luckily, Chucky looks to be OK. He wasn't on crutches ... no boot ... no casts, slings, etc. I'm guessing it was an illness. Perhaps the same that wiped out the women's team.
