What's with Pippen and Hamilton
It is hard to believe that there is no discussion concerning our best player and best rebounder as we approach the MAC Tournament. No leaks, no nothing. Some body has to know something. Danny, can you help? I have a theory but no supporting info so I will not explain it. This is the biggest subject of the week.

RE: What's with Pippen and Hamilton
strange situation for sure.
in my book, its either A or B
A) just resting them (saving their legs)
B) MAJOR attitude problems - primadonna crap

RE: What's with Pippen and Hamilton
Transparency with the KSU athletic department is not a strong point. Some of it is justified (HIPAA, Title IX, contractual, etc.). This is not the first time a situation like this has occurred, nor will it [most likely] be the last. Whoever is available on Thursday plays. It is what it is.

Both have had injury issues (Pippen/knees, Hamilton/back) and at least one has had - other - issues. If could simply be health related for both. OR, one has a health issue, one has another issue. OR, there is something else. Time will tell.

RE: What's with Pippen and Hamilton
Sendy said in an online "chalk talk" last night that he wouldn't know their status until Wednesday, even Thursday.
Everything I hear says it's not just injuries. Sendy said last week that he didn't know they weren't going to play at Buffalo until just before game time, so team hadn't prepared to play without them.

RE: What's with Pippen and Hamilton
Somehow I just don’t care. This seems to happen all the time only the names change. It’s kind of like having an off night shooting 3’s. It happens!! This whole season seems more like a movie than a basketball season. I can’t stand listening to games on radio and the talking heads on TV drive me nuts. Without being able to go to the games this year I just can’t get into it.

RE: What's with Pippen and Hamilton
Somehow I just don't care either, Burden. I guess I'm used to players being "unavailable" at the worst possible times.
And I agree 100% about the talking heads on TV.

Speaking of talking heads is it just me or is it time for Dick Vitale to find another career?

"And I agree 100% about the talking heads on TV."
EXTREMELY PAINFUL
i do care about this team & i do care about this season. even with all its ups & downs, been a fun ride.
sadly, without nuga, we have an uphill battle. we can still do it (make it to ncaa tourney) but will need all of our players to be at their best (& a little luck thrown in.) so many things to like: santiago, beck & jacobs are frigin' rock stars , hamilton is very good player (love his baby hook.) pippen is a SUPERSTAR. defensive specialists hernandez & bainbridge.
our achiles heel: pippen throwing-up too many 3s & DEFINATELY bainbridge throwing-up too many 3s :( :(
sendy another great coaching job

I'm guessing "just before game time" translates to "just before game bus ride time"? I didn't see them on the bench so I assumed they didn't make the trip?

You are way to optimistic. You must not have been a Browns fan for the last 20 years or so.

Burden, Vitale should have retired long ago.

RE: What's with Pippen and Hamilton
This sounds like a decision that is beyond Sendy to make. Could it be a higher up issue? Does Pippen and Hamilton hang together? If the decision were up to Sendy, wouldn't it already be made?

RE: What's with Pippen and Hamilton
Maybe a decision has been made but for game planning purposes by OU what’s the benefit of announcing it.

RE: What's with Pippen and Hamilton
Hey all, I heard from a season ticket holder friend that Pippen punched Hamilton, which caused them to both sit the last game. Not sure if the AD or assistant AD is deciding when 1 or the other or both can return or not?
If this team had Nuga and Pippen/Hamilton they could win the MAC tournament and would have been the #2 or even #1 seed. What a shame.

I assume Hamilton wasn't suspended for getting punched. Hope he isn't hurt.

Pippin isn’t in uniform, Allen Moff eorts.
Hamilton is expected to start.
