Egbunu Out For season – Torn ACL

[MidwestChomp]

We are no doubt the most cursed team in the history of sports. Can't go 1 year without having a major player miss the season with an injury

And Egbunu was out at the end of last year too. Probably would have won the NIT with him.

Hope Jay feel better after this thread.

Jerk.

You don't even like our basketball team so shutty. Also, my post had no bearing on his diagnosis

I also would like to add that I feel awful for Eggy, this is a horrible injury to suffer. He was playing really well too, so I can't imagine he took the news very well. Heart goes out to the young man.

We have 3 C/PFs out. Hopefully White figures out a gameplan that keeps out defense playing well and offense scoring. Hayes better get his game together and stop fouling...and man up

Hayes responded well when Egbunu was out last year. I think he'll rise to the occasion. It's the bench I am concerned about now.

We can't rely on Rimmer. I'd rather go small with Stone at the 5 than Rimmer in there to be honest.

Agree hopefully he does. But to beat good teams we needed Egbunu. Hayes is too small to guard some post players and gets pushed around to easy 1 on 1

I'm looking for suicide advice here. Any of you guys have any experience? What's the best way to go? Pills or hanging?

Again we are jinxed. We have a very good team but only when everyone is healthy. I guess we are now good but he will be missed.

Torn ACL seems like the method of choice for Florida Basketball

The good news is me and nv can finally get back to complaining when we start losing.

 

[Jbossgator8]

We will have to overcome the adversity on the court!!

If you want to blame somebody for a jinx... here you go!

Move Robinson to the 4 slot... keep Barry at the 3 and Leon becomes backup C?

Just thinking through ideas... I'd hate to take Leon off the floor because his ability to shoot is so valuable.

Leon & Stone have to learn to avoid the stupid fouls. Depth won't allow it any longer.

I hate this for the player and the team. It is hard to say how it will effect them mentally, but from a personell standpoint, it will hurt more on the defensive end and in rebounding. However offensively, it should increase Mike's need to create much more movement on offense. Even with Hayes resting, they are long enough to get into the paint, yet agile enough to be in constant motion on offense. I actually like Rimmer in small doses, b/c he knows where he is supposed to be and what his responsibilities are. I am in no way saying this is a positive for the team, it is not, but there is enough out there, especially offensively to be more than competitive. It does take away a rim protector so defensively the team is going to have to be much more disciplined.
