Henry & McKie....
- Thread starter Ernest T.Cox
- Start date
Concussions suffered in practice. Henry almost played today, but was held out and should be good to go versus Arkansas. McKie already suffered a concussion in the off-season so with this being his 2nd one, he's progressing a little slower and may not be ready for Arky....
I think Henry also suffered a broken nose in practice. Those must be some knock down, drag out practices Frank's putting those guys through.
I have heard they are. Sounds like they out them through the ringer! They beat on the players with big pads and stuff as they shoot to try to get them used to making shots through contact and off balance... I think it is a good way to practice.
let's be honest about this team- we all got excited after beating Iowa St right? They beat that team and won 7 non-cons in a row by playing the kind of INSANE defense we played most of the game tonight. We won those games by having a guy who could score- usually Notice and/ or Thornwell- and tonight... I felt we got our swagger back on defense! We made some shots when we needed to as well, but they came from all over the place! Ty making frees, Thornwell banged down a couple big buckets- so did Chat- it was so good to see the young guys get in there and make some big plays! Stroman has played better and better in my eyes and just having Shepard available- as green as he is after missing so much time to injury- is helping us fight through inure right now.
This is has been a tough SEC slate so far, but if we catch fire again, this team has the ability to make a run still. Nobody predicted much better than a 10-6 record or someone comparable in SEC play it seems... Technically that is still possible, isn't it? We have been in just about EVERY GAME in SEC play so far. If we figure out that giving that extra little bit of effort on D can win a game, and if we can find a way to just make that extra one or two shots... We could pound out a win streak and surprise some people... Or we could go back to not being able to hit a damn thing and lose all of them! Hoping we get hot...
