Frank Kaminsky Potentially Out; Traevon Jackson Out vs Nebraska

[ShortDust]

Looks like frank will be playing Thursday

It's offical

[Norm Peterson]

If he remembers where the gym is.  And what day it is.

I say we should start Moses and play rough the first five minutes of the game and see how he responds.

The better question is... will we be playing "Frank the Full Tank" or "Frank the Empty Tank"?

Head injuries are nothing to mess with and these are college kids. Playing rough hoping a post-concussion player might struggle in response doesn't strike me as the most sportsmanlike thing to attempt.

Maybe, but maybe a better way to say it is don't take it easy on him. Go right at him.

I realize that, and I do not think uneb was calling for us to take a shot at his head.  I think he was more or less saying that we need to go right at him.  Honestly you are right, they are nothing to mess with (Concussions).  But if he was not in the right condition to play, he should not have been cleared to play.  We should not have to "take it easy" with him because he has had a concussion.  Do I want us to take a cheapie? NO... but do I want us to take it easier because he has had a concussion? ABSOLUTELY NOT

Half-Tank Frank!

Let's just play the game and treat poor little Frankie as roughly as we would if he hadn't had a concussion. If he gets 20 points and 10 rebounds against us ,as he probably will, then we can demonstrate our good sportsmanship by all congratulating him for a job well done. Concussions, like sprained ankles, are part of the game, but if they are a big problem in college basketball the NCAA should mandate headguards like amateur boxers wear.

I'd expect that if Moses is in the paint that Frank will simply pop outside of it and rain 3s.

He led the Badgers in scoring last March against us with 14. 

[jimmykc]

That would be unsporting since Moses is playing with a broken hand.

I'm really curious to see what our top 10 defense has cooked up for this one.

Wisconsin has a top 4 offense. I'd expect both numbers to drop.

[royalfan]

15 plus point dogs.  Like to think we can cover that but probably just root for us to win.
