MBB: Louisiana Back at Cajundome for Battle with McNeese

[ZoomZoom]

Joe Charles got dinged up last night too. He had a nice game off the bench. He came back in, but his gait was a little off when he was going up and down the court.

Dinged by his teammates coming off the bench after a big play.

….this entire congratulatory crap needs to be toned down…..hell after a big play the guy is assaulted…..the fun stuff is cooL, but the slapping/punching is STUPID!

He literally faded away into the bench. Even if our players were sitting down he would have stepped on the foot. It was a freak accident

Yeah, I watched it on TV, this was just a freak accident. It sucks for him if he is hurt badly, because he showed a few flashes of what he can be.

I’m not sure if it’s an AAU or h/s thing, but this standing up, cheering, and “be up” stuff from the bench is distracting.

Or you could just move the bench back a bit. All of them are dangerously close to the court these days. I was watching one game where a player had to throw it in in front of the opponents bench and the guys behind him had to stand up because sitting they couldn't move their feet far enough back. I have no problems with the bench players being active and cheering on their teammates though.

That's what the staff thought, must have gotten better news after visiting the doctors this week.

Theo has a stress fracture in his foot. Not out for the season. I would not be surprised if he is held out until conference play begins however. May be same for AU as you suggested. I don't know what will ultimately occur. I just know that Coach Marlin said in post game press conference that both MAY be back SOON. Note the two words I capitalized. Joe Charles did come back in after getting dinged up so I presume he will be OK.

No reason for either of them to try and play against Tech or Houston. We have no shot in either game. Then we play an exhibition game. I'd sit them until conference starts at the end of the month.

Save them til 3 days in March!

I'm sure they will. We need all the excuses we can use

The injury bug excuse is already being thrown around...however it's falling on deaf ears this time.

Basketball has a 250 RPI second worse in the sbc ...

If the staff thinks AU is good enough to help the team, he needs to play as soon as possible to get ready for conference.

He was so out of shape against UNO.
