Cooney bad back?

[Capt. Tuttle]

Malachi will play 5 minutes a game.

Maybe.

But defense will be a big issue.

With Mike G gone, I bet he starts at the 3.

Over Roberson?

 

[Briancuse]

He has missing alot of shots lately, but the missed layup where no one was even that close to him, makes me think something is up.

 

[anglerman]

There has clearly been something wrong with him for some time now. He can't even walk normally...

if he's hurt why is he playing? this season doesn't even count let the kid heal for next season.

Because we cannot score if Cooney does not play! It's been proven over and over again! It's simply an undeniable fact!!!! No Cooney = No Points for SU!

Sorry - had to do it!

It was awful watching him gimp around day - kid looks beat up. Hopefully the back gets better, and he gets back on track soon. Get well, TC!

That being said - make your lay-up!

Fwiw, I noticed it a few games ago that he never sat during timeouts. Just thought he was being a tough guy. Then when he could barely move coming off during a timeout and JB told him to take a break, he didn't sit then. He stood behind the bench. That's when it was obvious he had a lower back issue. He did sit very gingerly when he came back from the locker room after getting treatment. Kind of reminds me of the year when Triche had a back issue.

Yeah, noticed the same today - he stood behind the bench for a bit before heading off to the locker room. He was having trouble just walking...I'm sure he thought it would loosen up, it clearly didn't. I didn't notice much in warm-ups though tbh.

coach says post game trevor's back has " been stiff for a few days but he's say's he's allright " .

 

[Alsacs]

JB would be doing Cooney a service to help the kid get more healthy. Back injuries don't get better in days. If the kid can give the team 25-30 minutes that would be huge.
With only 4 games left just let the kid get healthy.

do ya think boeheim ever checks his car's oil ? or does he believe that since they are parked so much the engine really doesn't need any lubrication ? just run it !

His oil gets plenty of rest at red lights.

Good oil wants to stay in the car, not get changed out every 3000 miles.

 

[Oakland]

I had/have one.

Sprained or strained? I'm no doctor, but I've never heard of a back sprain

If it's stiff for more than 4 hours, he should see a doctor.

 

[anglerman]

He was limping on Wednesday night. He shouldn't be playing he could have a he could have herniated disc

 

[tbonezone]

when you think about it it's really rather crazy to ever shut your car off .why take the gamble on whether or not the starter will engage the next day ? they all have radiators to keep them cool. just run it!

If you believe that you are crazy.

Malachi will be playing 20 min./game minimum. He's a stud.

Careful...

michael carter williams dnp'd 11 games as a frosh and saw very few minutes in others.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Name me a freshman guard at SU, besides GMAC who shot the ball well as a freshman?

 

[SUFan44]

Careful...

Careful what? Richardson would play 2o minutes a game for us this year.

Who was coming back on that team? Scoop, Waiters, Triche...

Who's coming back on this team? Joseph, Cooney, Gbinije (?)...

Advantage, Richardson.

 

[SUFan44]

Name me a freshman guard at SU, besides GMAC who shot the ball well as a freshman?

Brandon Triche shot 50% from the field, 40% from three-point range as a freshman.

Jonny Flynn shot 46% from the field, 35% from three-point range as a freshman.

Eric Devendorf shot 45% from the field, 38% from three-point range as a freshman.

That's just in the last 10 years.

don't you realize you're looking at the wrong side of the equation. just becuz you're better doesn't mean you necessarily play. where are scoop and triche playing now ? JB will play cooney 35 + next season.

 

[SUintheVille]

Cooney has a weak back. He probably got it about a week back.

That joke never gets old. Seriously, back pain, esp. lower back is a real pain and it certainly hurts.

JB plays the guys he thinks can win for him. Winning is all he cares about.
