Need him back

On one hand I want to see one of the 4 from Kennedy, McCadden, Franklin, or JLawson to step up and fill his shoes.

I like Franklin and McCadden. I am not a big fan of Kennedy. Lawson is our best 3 point shooter and we are desperate for someone who can make 3s, but he hasnt necessarily made 3s when they were crucial (he has, but not consistently) and his defense is not good...

but, at the same time, 59 pts from Temple is one of our lowest opponents score this season.

That's because they shot 4-29 (13.8%) from three and 17-58 (29.3%) from the field in spite of open looks. If they had any shooters, it would have been lights out. Did you watch the game?

Yep, facts you are a troll and everyone knows it.

You're a Pee-Wee Herman facsimile. Next you'll be dropping an "I know you are but what am I?" Easy out to call me a troll when the facts show you to be an idiot. I know what I would rather be known for.

Back to the topic at hand. Absolutely, we need him back in the worst way. Hopefully he recovers soon.

Groin injuries are not short term recovery. Even when you can run you can have a lot of pain on push off and cuts. From what I’ve heard anything less than two more weeks would be iffy. Still, Alo has played injured for two years.

That's what people have been saying. One poster even mentioned that he still suffers from a groin injury that's years old. We need Lomax to finish out the season if this team is going to have a chance, so hopefully the recovery will be best case scenario.

Those were some bad rims at temple

That's because they're overused.

That injury just looked like a long-term thing. Hope I'm wrong. He's had his share of adversity the last few years.

Penny said he hopes to have him back in a week or two.

Penny said postgame that Malcolm and Jayden are further along than ALo. He was optimistic that we'd be full strength in about 3 weeks

Ouch. We need some inside presence badly…even if it’s MD. None of our options are great, but we can’t afford injuries. We really need Franklin to step up and make shots. This team desperately misses Tyler Harris at this point. He would cover up our obvious shooting blemishes. Not worried about Lomax. He would be a very good defensive presence to have, but he offsets that benefit by playing hero ball and pretending that he has any offensive talent whatsoever.

Penny blew it pushing Tyler Harris out.. Damaria Franklin was overrated as f*ck..

As the announcer said, both teams played poorly enough to lose.

Temple shot so poorly that they wouldn't have broken 50 if they hadn't totally dominated rebounding.

Second chance points
Temple 19
Tigers 4

How long has it been since an opponent shot under 30% and had 17 turnovers, yet we still needed a last second shot to win?

If he can just come back for 6-8 minutes a game to spell KD, that would be a win ..

6 - 8 minutes? Alo is the best available player to put at the 2 we have. He should be getting the second most playing time amongst guards outside of KD. Have you not watched any of the games?
