Basabe hurt?

[jocohawk]

Sorry if it's been posted. Didn't see him in the second half.

He was running gingerly in the first half, sucks because he was playing well.

I don't believe he played in the 2nd half, have to wait to hear from Fran.

Ankle...and he's been battling it since before the UNI game.

He tweaked it again after blocking the shot late in the first half of tonight's game didn't he?

It is too bad. His shot blocking and energy were there today.

 

[OUTofTOWNHAWK]

He kept his eye on Zeller much better than Woody and #0. To bad he couldnt go more.

 

[JonDMiller]

Turns out he hurt his OTHER ankle, not the one that has been bugging him this past month

May Mel have some luck, be allowed to sit down and get healed. He has come back with such a great attitude. He had some great energy, knocked down a shot, rebounded, made a steal and block or 2 in minimal minutes.

Iowa really needs some combination of Mel/Gabe to compete. Woody held his own.

Iowa also needs some combination of Josh/Zach and anyone to start hitting some threes.

Iowa could have lost by double digits but they could have also won by double digits.

Time out anyone? Fran? at the end of the game?

It happened on the offensive possession before that, he then blocked the shot and made the jumper after that. He was playing very well.

Well that sucks, cause although I couldn't watch the entire game, he played well.
Also, I feel he is having an excellent season. Especially rebounding and defensively.

Basabe's a good bench player and an injury to him will hurt, it probably effected today's game quite a bit.

Before the season I was wondering where Fran would find minutes for Uthoff and Jok next year, now I don't think that's going to much of an issue. Iowa is going to have a real solid 8 man rotation next year and Ogelsby and McCabe are really going to have to step up if they want to be a part of it.

I agree with all of this. And I'm a huge Zach fan but he hasn't been getting it done.

I got home long enough to only see him in part of the game, but he looked good. He had energy and was crashing the boards, which is what you really need from him.

Seriously hope he is not injured, and it is only ankle sprain.....

We could have used him in the second half. Oladipo hurt us, and Mel could have had a hand stopping that.....

Friends watching the game with me wondered why he wasn't starting. Nonetheless I like him coming off the bench......
