So if Tim is playing today, does that mean no redshirt? Football players can play in up to 4 games and still redshirt. No similar rule in basketball? Basketball is usually not as lenient, it is one game played and no redshirt.

Hoyas pass another test -- trounce an opponent they are supposed to beat, wire to wire. Mac with off shooting day still manages a highlight reel dunk, Blair with an excellent game, Yurt7 with the double double and Wahab with his best game so far. And IGGY scores! Glorious.

Nice complete game. Wish the commentators would have asked Ewing on Pickett's status during the post game interview. But that'd be too much to ask for.

Timothy is pretty coordinated. The big fellas's Wahab and Igoehfee need as much court time as possible to get use to themselves. I see what people say about big guys needing time to develop - to get their coordination together. These are some long guys. When they have to make adjustment in high speed, high traffic their inexperience shows. I think Wahab has to slow down a little, gather himself.... I'm impressed. Lots of potential!
I hope all is well with Jamorko!!

I missed the injury? Is this a real concern or sky must always be falling overreaction?

So it seems that every game the Hoyas play, shade will be thrown Akinjo's way and although I don't disagree I feel somewhat bad for the young man. I hope he's able to learn from this experience and develop a style that's more to the modern game, pass first and get yours when available and listen to those that have come before you.

I don’t know what it was as they didn’t show it but I’d be surprised if it was cramps. He likely strained something and was being overly cautious.

Basketball is usually not as lenient, it is one game played and no redshirt. In that case, I hope that PE is thinking that Tim is making sufficient progress to see the court occasionally this season. If not, why waste his redshirt for two minutes of garbage time?

I'm starting to feel bad for Akinjo too. Our improved play really exposed his weaknesses. Terrible that had to happen to such a promising player. I'm being a bit sarcastic but not really. His decision to transfer invited the magnifying glass of the national media, someone from his camp should have known his decision and his play this year would come under scrutiny after announcing he was leaving the team. They gambled that we would be far worse but they were dead wrong.

Looked like cramps to me, he could not place his foot flat on the floor and he was trying. I've been there, foot locked in the extended position and I couldn't flatten it out. Of course I'm being hopeful but that's what I saw, he didn't look concerned as he was cheering on his teammates.

Ewing takes the high road but the national media just cannot let it go. It's the story of our season. Unfortunately for him, we suddenly look like a team that the national media will be talking about all season - and that's the storyline. Hard to blame the media. The truth is plain as day.

Was icing both calf and hip. It's gonna happen when he's the only 4. I was concerned because he was walking in the ball if his foot. But if it was an Achilles??, which unfortunately crossed my mind, he wouldn't be able to do that. Maybe we are lucky and it is just a cramp. I think Coach came to the conclusion that he was going to need one of those big guys this year. I believe Timothy, who has greater experience playing against more mature guys internationally, was chosen. It makes sense to me.
