Spangler's knee update (via Eddie R)

[BigTime]

"Spangler says it was just a 'knee-to-knee' forced him to the lockerroom early 2H. Said he'll be fine."

Thank goodness.

Good news, just glad Stoops didn't say that or Spangler would be done for the year.

That line is as old as you are

Spangler is a warrior. Hard to believe some idiot on the Insider board started a thread saying he is lazy. :facepalm

He is lazy on blocking out. Love the guy tho

He relies too much on his athleticism. Thus, his failure to block out on the boards. I still wouldn't call Ryan lazy. No one on the team works harder.

Yes. That was kind of the same knock on Griffin at times. I always though the same as you described here. It is not laziness. Why am I now also thinking of Kareem in Airplane?

I wish he had a clone.

Every game Spangler plays i get mad that capel didn't even recruit the guy

Isn't that the season Capel signed Nick Thompson when he could have had Spangler? Enough said!

I'm over it because every game this year I realize had caple recruited him, he would not be here right now

And maybe -- just maybe -- Capel still would be (shudder).

That is the darkest timeline

That is the darkest timeline

Kinda like one of those alternative history stories.

Twilight Zone.

Nightmare.

Dead Zone in the LNC.

All of the above.

 

[slappy in OP]

We need Spangler, Lattin, and Manyang to hold their own at KU. Glad that this was just a knock. Hope he is back to 100% come Monday night.

Yes I think Manyang & Buford are going to have extended roles monday.

Not happening with Buford imo.. He didn't play at home vs #11, he isn't playing extended mins unless we are in foul trouble....

Ext more than isu... Maybe but 1 min is extended

the difference is that ku almost never goes small .... isu does all the time ..


we will have 2 bigs on the floor at pretty much all times tonight ..

so I would expect manyang and bufford to get close to 10 min each ..

I could be wrong about tonight, but every team we play that is big Buford plays quite a bit.
