Battle?

[pearl31]

Anyone got anything here regarding injury?
He pretty much didn't play in 2nd half

 

[tptcuse]

He has been under the weather since the Clemson game.

We are such a better team with Battle. Frank actually looked decent in the 2nd half - but there is no question our better chance to win is with Battle on the floor.

Right - sort of silver lining with today is that Howard at least gained a little more confidence, mostly played decent and showed he can at least provide legit minutes going forward.
But yes, needs to be a Gillon/Battle backcourt when it matters obviously

When Frank and TR are in the game we're playing 3 on 5 on the offensive end. Just deny White the ball and the entire offense suffocates. Frank actually made a couple of shots but whenever he shoots you don't expect it to go in. The offense is so much better with Battle and TT in the game.

We also have no depth. Once again people were saying Jimmy would play 9-10 players lol. We play 6 at most. Losing any starter really hurts us.

Just heard Battle's postgame. The dude could barely talk. He is definitely sick. Which I guess is good - it's not a knee or ankle.

Might be too much to expect him to be 100% for Monday - but it sounded like the flu so as long as it doesn't effect everyone else and he gets his rest he should be good for next weekend.

Bad timing

Well, 1 got redshirted because an injury slowed down his pre-season development. 1 lost the sight in one of his eyes. And 1 has a pair of non-functioning knees. So that's a negative 3. And Howard showed today he can at least be the mystical .5.

Battle needs to stop with the go left finish with the right crap. It's been figured out and several times today Pitt was waiting for it and stripped him on layup attempts.

If it is flu, there's not much you can do, other than get a shot in the Fall.

Desko said yesterday the flu is going around on the campus

 

[BillSU]

The flu is now countrywide - all states are in red on the map - not good

Exactly!! Howard did not embarrass himself today at all, but I want Battle out there at all times.

 

[pearl31]

Frank for 5 or so min a half is fine

He wasn't bad today, Is till cringe every time he touches the ball, we need Battle to get better in a hurry and be ready to go Monday.

That was the plan, but two got hurt and one is physically unable to go at a high level much anymore.

It's the flu!!! Would you suggest that SU keeps the players in an antiseptic bubble when they are not playing? And have them attend classes over closed circuit TV?
