Rolled his ankle prior to the Georgia game, apparently it swelled up like a balloon after that game and they figured he could rest out today and they'd be fine.

Hopefully, he's not injury prone because he can become a very special player for the Bearcats based upon our first look this season.

By my count that’s 2 knee injuries and an ankle injury and he’s only played 2 games for us. So far not looking good.

What was the second knee injury?

Also love that, at least through 3 games, anyone can be "the guy" for a 5 - 8 minute stretch at a time on both ends of the floor... making UC so much harder to plan for and defend. All that I as a fan can ask.

I think that some of the droughts are going to be a function of Wes' philosophy of fast pace and very fluid substitution patterns. It means that many leads are completely safe but that once they fall behind I would expect that most deficits aren't doomsday scenarios either. This team and style are built to give the Bearcats the best chance to win. I'm willing to believe we're still climbing and not cresting.

Good summation of where this team is after three games with a new staff and a slew of new players. It's going to take some more time before Wes knows what he has in terms of consistent players, roles, game minutes and subs. 3-0. One is against an SEC team. Can't ask for anything better at this point IMO.

if mason madsen doesn't have gold teeth he should
