Cleared by two specialists, last second scratch last game, looked pissed on the bench, wasn’t a serious injury to begin with… the smoke signals aren’t good

Wouldn't be shocked if we don't see Jelly the rest of the season.

Just speculating or do you know something?

This team flat out SUCKS without jelly.

We had major issues even with jelly, but damn, we are really, really bad without him.

I have legitimate questions about whether we finish above .500 overall, especially if Jelly isn't playing. Woof.

AK has done a horrible job of assembling rosters and making sure the team is deeper than one player who plays 35+ minutes a game and scores 25 points. It’s Marshall Henderson all over again.

We haven’t had a point guard or reliable shooters for the three years he’s been here, and he’s built teams that are almost wholly reliant on one player.

This is awful basketball. This team in the last 6-8 games is as bad as any mike Davis or rob ehsan team.

He’s been encouraging to his teammates tonight. The weird thing is he’s been hopping up and down when cheering them on.

25 points against a mediocre la tech team. At home. God ******* awful basketball

The tempo is absolute molasses sans Jelly. How did it get this bad? Jelly was only playing 20-25 minutes in some games and we never got bogged down like this. I think at this point it’s mostly mental.

Part of the tempo issue is La Tech waiting until about 8 seconds left on the shot clock to start their offense.

LaTech can a get wide open 3 point attempt on any possession. Is that intentional?

We are a bad offensive team. Or as some might same we are offensively offensive.

Our defense is good for 23 seconds and then breaks down for a wide open three.

Team has picked it up the past few mins. Again, seems like the effort is there at least.

I still never understand when the offensive player initiates contact into the chest of a defender why that is a foul on the defender. Always has been and everyone calls it but I still disagree with it.

We can't hit an outside shot for anything, why not try Jemison and Davis in at the same time and work it down low?

I’ve asked myself the same question. Something AK is unwilling to try, Even though everything else has worked so well.

Really good defensive effort the last few minutes

The only thing I can think of is he’s worried they’d get in foul trouble.

I’m definitely not a basketball expert…but I very often don’t understand our player rotation

They double team the low post everytime, why not put two big men in and see what happens.
