Any word on Johnny? Who takes most of his minutes if he can't go on Tuesday.

It was just a matter of time the way he throws his body around. I can easily hurt myself just reaching for the paper in the morning!!!!

Re: Moran

Bruised ribs. It's still not clear if he'll play on Tuesday.

Re: Moran

Hmm.....too bad if he can't go, he's been playing very well lately. Is James ready for extended minutes?

Re: Moran

i would be surprised if james gets extended minutes...sonnen more likely will get some more pt

Re: Moran

I would be surprised if johnny didn't play. He's such a tough athlete that you would have to think that his injury is pretty bad if he can't go Tuesday. My best guess is that this will be an injury that lingers, but doesn't keep him out of the starting lineup. There could be more to this story that we in the public don't know about, but if it's just a low grade bruise, I would think he's playing Tuesday.

If he can't go, my guess is that Kerwin gets the starting nod, with both Sonnen and James playing extended minutes.

Re: Moran

I think he should start, yea he was on the floor for a while and went back to the locker room, but he came back out and was sitting on the bench. If it were something major (that would keep him from playing) you wouldn't have seen him back on the bench....or at lest not in uniform on the bench. If i had to guess if it was a close game he most likely would have been able to play, maybe not for extended shifts but i'll bet you would have seen him back out there.

Re: Moran

With a bruised chest, I think he'll be fine until he starts breathing heavy. I had that problem over the summer, maybe not as bad, but it felt fine except when I took a deep breath and the ribcage expands. My guess is he plays, but how much he plays just depends how much it hurts when he starts breathing heavy.

Re: Moran

This is a big loss if he can't go. It appears he has finally found his shot and has been playing well the last few games. Plus, WSU has a lot of really quick guards and he probably matches up better with them than Sonnen and Dunham.

Johnny was in class this morning.

If he was, he was there by himself since there is no classes today at UNI.

Re: Moran

If Johnny isn't able to go, I think the minutes will be effectively eaten up with Dunham and then more split out to Sonnen and James. We will miss the intangibles Johnny brings more than his scoring, per se, but we should be fine. This is not like two years ago when our back up point guard was Brian Haak. No offense meant to Brian, he's a great guy, but what a difference a few years has made.

Re: Moran

If Moran can't go (which I seriously doubt) we are in great hands with Dunham. He is the most underrated player in the league, guy gets no credit for everything he does for this team...
