Cotton-eyed Hoe said:Any news floating around about Akoh's availability for BBQU this Thursday? Another huge game for the Griz (aren't they all, at this point?) that'll likely have much to say about the final standings and seeding in the tournament. If our perimeter game is present, I like our chances with or without the big guy, but if not...could be a long night. Weber will certainly come out wanting to avenge their loss in Missoula, and preserve their shot at the regular-season crown. Looking forward to seeing how the Griz handle themselves in this one!

Yeah, news I have heard isn't great.
Ever teach your kids to drive a car? How was the experience? These bench guys have been watching everyone drive all season, and now its their turn(no pun intended). No more little break in period, we are in the end of the season mode, everything on the line. It is rush hour on a busy Interstate. Maybe they should have had more game experience. A little late to think of that now.AZGrizFan said:Well, I guess we’re really going to find out what Anderson & Carter are made of now.
If indeed no Akoh, I suspect we will see primarily a seven man rotation with Falls and Manuel coming off of the bench.tourist said:Ever teach your kids to drive a car? How was the experience?

grizzlyjournal said:Just listened to the radio broadcast of the Grizzly Sports Show (Riley Corcoran). I missed the first part, but what I picked up is that it appears serious, but that a final diagnosis of the injury hadn't yet been communicated to coaches. If surgery is required, his season, of course, is over. If rest & recuperation... still a long shot with a tiny thread of hope.

Akoh was slammed under the Griz basket by, what I thought, was an intentional foul by the Idaho player and Akoh went down hard. No foul was even called. I thought he was badly hurt but no one mentioned it when he limped off. This is bad news for the Griz. Will Dorsey and Pridgett be able to fill in? They are prone to fouls.
Braxton, for Weber State, was out of the line up last game, so I wonder if he is also hurt. Thursday will be tough game. After that, though, the schedule is good for UM.
HookedonGriz said:The Griz are an entirely different and better team with Jamar. His defense alone and rebounding are immeasurable tangibles that the team misses greatly when he’s on the bench. Without Jamar it would be a Christmas miracle for this team to make the tourney and some of Coach Decuires finest work. I will root for them to the very end but this news is very concerning.
