I think the best case scenario is a separation.

EDIT: Monty says he's day to day, so maybe his shoulder always looked like that, ha.

He did dislocate it. They popped it back in. Hope he did not break anything

Andy Garcia is odd too. He randomly emphasizes words. It boggles the mind.

I think Andy has overcome a bit of a speech impediment. He deserves credit for it as they are hard to overcome.

Is he "day to day" or "Akeem Daniels/Rod Carey-like day to day"?

Threloff looks like he is sleep walking the last couple games he needs to get it together in a hurry. Someone needs to step up big time with the Bowie loss.Maybe Monty needs to start Maric a couple games and wake Jordan up.

He has been trying to get Threloff going the last four games by sitting him. It's not working. Threloff and Aaric Armstead lately have been very disappointing!

I did not realize that about Andy. I never liked him as an announcer but I sure do respect him for overcoming a speech impediment and for following his dream.

Treloff is an enigma.

WMU's Hawkins really wanted him holding off on any plan B and wound up losing out to ISU. Then stumbled onto Matt Stainbrook in the spring.

As potentially as good as Treloff could be he never realized that potential. I really thought he'd bloom at NIU. Not too late but I agree from afar that he looks dazed and confused so far.

Word was in the recruiting process his "handler" was a piece of work. Maybe the apple doesn't fall far ...

who was his "handler?"

Nice job MD

Thanks, that qualifies as right for the wrong reason, I did not have this going to OT.

Hah, oh well. I would've won if we made the basket when time was ticking down. 60 - 58 . An NIU win makes it OK, though.

The guys don't get the ball to Threloff. He isn't involved in the offense thus seems like he is un interested. He and Aaric must start playing inspired ball. They both are better than what they are showing.

I still believe some players are freezing Threloff out in the offense. So many of his shots are on offense rebounding. Watch Threloff on a pick and roll. Some of our guards have no clue on how to use Threloff on a pick. There is too much space between our guard coming into the pick made by Threloff. The defensive guard is sliding over the top all the time. Our guards have no court sense how to react if Threloff man is switching. If Threloff pops, they never give him the ball. If Threloff rolls to the basket on a switch, he never gets the ball.

When Threloff seals his man on a ball reversal, our guards just stare at him or give him the ball too late.

Threloff is shooting over 50%. Baker under 30%. Coaching sense tells you that you have your best shooters shooting the ball in your offense sets not your poorest shooters firing away. Treloff is leading the team in fta.
Look at the stats from our gunners on fta. Coaching?

I like Threloff a lot. He plays like a big center, and it's so rare to see those on the Huskies. Shame he's not getting more opportunities.

Looked like more.

Threloff is also to blame. He is not playing hard. He needs to hustle and fight for better position. Right know, Rakocevic, Maric and Bowie are getting better position down low. The coach yells punch it all the time. Punch means get it inside.

Maric has got the moves, I just have never seen a player so heavy on his feet before. My joints ache watching him. If he had any hops at all, he would be a devastating force. Im not sure if that is related to injuries he has had?

UT averts disaster against Northern Kentucky this afternoon with a 3-pt buzzer beater.

Don't look now but EIU has not lost since beating NIU
