Why is his last concussion test today instead of tomorrow? Is this normal procedure?

Well the UConn game is less than 96 hours from the incident, and the final test less than 48 hours from it seems weird.

quote:

"I think the last test will be today when he moves," Pearl said Thursday. "He will not practice with contact today. We're going to have a contact practice, but he will not have any contact but he will move today. Assuming he doesn't experience any headaches or any concussion symptoms when he's moving, he should be OK to go Saturday."


Just says he 'thinks' the last test will be today.

The chart doesn't go to 100% probability so they left it off

Sounds like "last" just means he'll pass today and won't need one tomorrow/Saturday

We have appeared on Lunardi's board for the first time this season.. in his "next four out" list.

I do think we made an appearance there at some point in the middle of SEC play last year. (Possibly before that tragic blown lead @Ole Miss)

We made a CBS appearances after beating Alabama to go to 15-8 (4-6) and that really wasn't absurd at that point in time given Purifoy was coming back, Wiley coming on + our upcoming schedule

Our remaining games were
-H MSU 14-8
-@ Ole Miss 14-10
-H UF
-@ TAMU 13-11
-@ LSU 9-14
-H v Arkansas 17-7
-@ UGA 13-11 w/o Yante Maten
-H Mizzou 6-17


Winning 5-6 of those games to get to 19-20W + a win in SECT would have made us a very attractive bubble team w/ 20-21W

I watched the 2nd half... it was tight until about 3 minutes to go. Arizona was 7-10 from three point range in the 2nd half.

I'm concerned about this Uconn game. Their length worries me. IIRC Jared torched them last year, and it wasn't really with the three ball either.

Man, it would be nice to be 12-1 OOC regardless of the weakness of our schedule.

Are you talking about Bruce's comment about having some 7-8 players that are 6'8+? UConn only plays them at the 4/5 positions. Their guards and SF are 6'3 or smaller

I'm not that worried in general for that, they are all beanpoles. Our strong players like Murray and Mustapha will bully them inside


What I'm worried about is that Larrier and Jalen Adams are super legit players. Both can catch fire and alter games. Alterique Gilberts also very solid as qe

Gotcha. I didn't realize they were all at the 4/5 position when he said that. I've yet to see them play this year, but I do remember Adams being a problem last year before he got hurt against us.

Also, we found a way to win last year despite Mustapha shooting 5/22(!!! '06 Kobe)

They have lineups that feature a 6'8 SF but that is only about 30-35% of the time. All their PG/SG minutes are from 6'2-6'3 players, ~65-70min at SF from a 6'3
