Based on what we saw at the STH event last week, the BB news is no surprise. We can only hope it's not a lingering thing.
There was a photo reposted from Blake Barkley's IG from the weekend which showed BB still rocking the boot (not in basketball setting, but informal off-court). I'd imagine BB's wired to wanna play ASAP, but perhaps discretion is the better part of valor here.
Also interesting to hear that Collins rates Nick and Luke as the biggest risers among returners. I'm hoping this means Nick has developed a consistent catch and shoot 3 to become a very dangerous agile stretch 4; and for Luke, I'm hoping this means he's figuring out how to assert himself defensively without collecting fouls. (Luke had 6.6 Fouls Committed/40 min, which makes it tough to keep him on the court.)
Aside from the game at Dayton, I'd like to think that we can handle the games on our schedule through Thanksgiving, but a lingering foot injury is never good in basketball.
Glad to hear about Hunger's progress. He's been forgotten by most around here.
But I don't see Martinelli as a stretch 4 and I hope our coaches don't see him that way either.
Of course, if Nick starts lighting it up from 3, then he's first team Big Ten.
That would be great.
But Martinelli has a ton of value in the paint, so time out on the perimeter had better be productive.
