Should Tyus play?

[Cuse House]

I say yes. We’ve shown we can play with Duke and win. Zion May or may not play, and Bolden is out. If we win I think we could see a 7 seed on selection Sunday. I hate conceding games just because we are a lock. I say let’s go win it and keep the confidence trending upward.

 

[rrlbees]

Only if 100%

 

[skurey]

Only if he's 100%

 

[Cusefan0307]

Nah.

 

[OrangeYaGladi]

Only if he's 94 percent

 

[Cuse House]

Only if he's 94 percent

I see what you did there.

 

[hoopsupstate]

If Zion plays, O’Connell will sit. It will keep Barret on the perimeter which helps us.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Nope.

 

[djcon57]

Up to Tyus, IMO.

He came back to be in these high profile games. If he wants to play, he should play

 

[Dinkyspond]

Absolutely not. This game means zero. The important games are next week.

So let me ask you this, if Tyus was 100%, does a potential 7 seed vs the 8/9 matchup mean absolutely zero?

He's not 100 percent. JB said so much in presser.

I didn’t watch yet but point taken.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Nah cause we win he has to play3 games in 3 days. He plays in the semis tho.

 

[cuseinseattle]

I would save him for UVA in the title game

 

[cuseinseattle]

My vote is no until the tournament. We need him healthy.

 

[jgeorge322]

I dont see how you dont play him if hes above 85% or so.

 

[FireballPhil]

If he does, which I doubt he will, it should be limited minutes. No need to make things worse instead of better. Yes I want us to win, but no winning is not worth the kid getting even more hurt.

Good point.

I wonder if K would go small to get OConnell in ? He’s killed us twice

Jones OConnell Reddish Barrett Zion

totally agree

 

[Trueblue25]

What is this game worth?

 

[Alsacs]

Nah.

Since the portions of our fanbase who believe the program has been fine and the criticism towards the staff are attempting to dunk on fans after the second half everyone is happy about I want Tyus to play just so they don’t have an excuse for whatever happens tonight.
Play Tyus and win this game tonight to shut up Chicken Littles.

 

[HakAttack]

Sit him so he’s ready for next week. This game against Duke is meaningless.

Nope the Pollyannas are why Tyus should play.
They want to crow after that second half. So no excuses try and win tonight.
Duke is hard to expect a win against but play to win so play Battle to start.

I don't think there's much risk, if any, of worsening a bruised coccyx. It's more a question of can he move well enough to be better than Buddy/Jalen.
