He said it's very complicated. He didn't go any further as people who aren't kenpom could never hope to understand.

He rolled his ankle. They're saying he's "day to day".

Did BJ or anybody else sneak into practice today to see if Jesse was still wearing his boot? :shock:

If he were healthy enough to play, I can't see why he wouldn't start. It's not like football, where you could come in for a specific set of plays, and he hasn't been out long enough for conditioning to be a factor. He could just as easily reinjure the ankle coming off the bench as starting. It's better to play it safe and hopefully have him at 100% for the tournament.

I very much agree, as much as it might hurt us these next two games, having him in the tourney I think is more important.

I told you so i told you so i told you so we couldnt get our offense running without sanders. We started then we died started and died and we also needed that extra bit of energy he contributes on defense and on getting boards. WE NEED JESSE BACK!!!

In Chris Lang's article in today's fishwrap, even he called Jesse our MVP. (I wonder where he got that idea?) :wink:

I agree with you 100%, but I also know that even with him it would have been an uphill battle the way they were shooting.

Well, the other guy who draws constant double and triple teams is pretty good too. :wink:

That said, even as freshman, this is the best backcourt tandem that I've ever witnessed at LU. I don't know if LU has ever had a backcourt duo that is as good as Jesse and Seth are right now. I'm just glad that we're just getting started and that we'll be adding Jesse's brother in a couple of years. Moving forward, this team is only going to get better.

Those 2 are awfully good. They would be good as seniors but to play like they do as freshmen is impressive. Jesse Get Well Soon

Jesse is missed....come back soon!!

I know this team wouldn't be nearly as good as it has been without Seth and the attention he gets...but without somebody to set the rest of the guys up its just hard to win....

I can't wait for Jesse to be back and to be back full strength..if Jesse is healthy next week for the tournament...we will be a scary team for any team in the big south....
