Wade Taylor

[LTDukeFan]

Are you all expecting him to be out?

Oh yeah. He’ll be riding the pine. He will be cheering, but he won’t be playing.

Like Ivory Soap, I’m 99.44% sure.

It's a groin strain

I read groin stain at first glance.

Still could be, I guess.

I've had a couple of those.... pretty damn embarrassing.

What exactly is his injury?

 

[LTDukeFan]

What exactly is his injury?

I believe the report is a pulled groin, but who knows?

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

I believe the report is a pulled groin, but who knows?

I think he is out tomorrow most likely based on what I just saw

Then I would expect the same thing from us. We took 48 free throws from Alabama and only made 28. They just ground us down. They fouled a lot and the refs seemed to miss every other one.

Alabama was too deep with guys who had no problem fouling. Feels like Oates is using the same strategy as Barnes did last year. Thugball.

Wade is not playing again. He’ll be on the bench.

Aggies are defensively biased. Wildcats live by your offense. Will be an interesting game. I think y’all will be too much for us without Wade, but I doubt we roll over.

Problem is we are the least physical team in the league. We are averaging 3 flop calls and 3 phantom calls a game. If we breathe on you it’s a foul. Teams are allowed to be incredibly physical at the other end. We get a better whistle on the road. Go figure

I think this is changing. If we don't get a crap whistle like we did at UGA, this team will get physical and with the exception of the one guy on MSU, I felt like we were the more physical team.
I think this team is really focused on being physical and getting rebounds. I think they can get there. It's not like we have a bunch of 18 year old beanpoles on this team.

I think we all know, Taylor will play, and he will be spectacular.

We just need to hope that Phelps guy continues to shoot it a lot! He got a taste the past 2 games of "shoot at will". A career 27% 3pt shooter, 31% this year. Last 2 games (w/ Taylor out) he is 20-54 overall (37%), 7-16 (44%) from 3 (because 6-10 in 1 game). I'd take my chances with him shooting contested shots.

With the way our games have been called I would not doubt if they don’t shoot a single 3. Why would any team?? Just drive and go to the line. A free throw is easier than a 3 pointer.
I expect A&M to shoot 40

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

The line has gone from -3.5 to -6.5, that tells me Taylor is most likely out

I was just going to ask what the latest Buzz was on Wade Taylor




I'll see myself out

 

[sk73]

I thought he was a great freshman in 1997

I am assuming you are talking about his age. He is 3 years younger than several of our players.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Taylor is officially out tomorrow

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

Hate that for him. Great player.

 

[Bluegrass79]

He didn't want no part of Lamont Butler. Injured til the next game lol
We see you sooner or later.
can't keep running mouth runner.
Your ass Taylor, will make its payment.
Nobody gets over on Big Blue.

 

[CrazyCat74]

I'm not disappointed he's out. He's a Dude and wore us out last year.

Must win home game

[Digger-Cat]

I'll take any advantage we can get. Just win baby.

 

[blue cincy]

They have played well without him. Next man up kind of mentality with Buzz. He puts his head down and figures out something. Will be a solid win if we win. Another Quad 1 win.

 

[bucsrule8872]

No guarantees, but we have a much better chance of winning without him playing. He is their heart and soul. And he’s torched us in the past.

They are still good without him, though. Going to be a war.

 

[Digger-Cat]

Yeah, I'm not going to feel bad for them, we didn't have Butler in Seattle and we haven't had Kerr for over a month.
