Houston Injury - Jarreau possibly out
- Thread starter koko2315
- Start date
He played 41 seconds according to the article. If sounds like he got a hip pointer.
Things that make you cry when you hear it because it's still difficult to wrap your mind around it.
Surprised more people aren't talking about this here. This kid runs the offense and is third leading scorer.
Keep in mind, we're 12-4 in games where Johnson has played 26+ minutes (two losses were Iowa and @MSU), and 1-7 in games against major conference teams when he's played less (and in the one win, he played 25 @Maryland).

These injured players always somehow manage to get healthy for Rutgers.
wow crazy stats!!! I’m thinking this game we are scoring in the 70s so I expect to see Myles for 26+
here.
Enough for RU to get the W?
RU is playing with house money and has already overachieved this season.
Anything good we do vs Houston tomorrow will only help with recruiting going forward imo. Just don’t get blown out.
??? Houston is no better than any competition we have faced this year. They are not an Illinois thats for sure. Not sure why you are buying into hype that we should be prohibitive underdogs here
Am I one of the few who think a large number of our fans live for woulda, coulda, should... against Rutgers?
The narrative that bad things always happen to RU is tiresome Times are changing. If the kid has a bad hip pointer he won’t play. Doesn’t mean we win thoughAm I one of the few who think a large number of our fans live for woulda, coulda, should... against Rutgers?
I know it tiresome, but you brought up the fact that if Robbins had played, Rutgers would have lost. That's the definition of woulda, coulda, shoulda. Btw, Robbins played the first time, and Minnesota lost. So it's not a sure thing if Robbins played in the second game, Minny would win.
As for Houston, playing without your star PG in the tournament is huge. It's typical of some fans to overvalue the opponents while discounting Rutgers' worth. Houston is the same team that lost to East Carolina, and that speaks volumes.
Exactly. Houston played exactly two teams all season that made the NCAA's- Wichita St and Texas Tech. That's it. Everybody's all freaked out over a small team that scores a bunch of points against Temple, ECU, So Fla, etc. Eff them, we're going to crush them.
Not if they are the opponent's starting QB in football. They stay injured so the back-up QB curse we have can play out.
I think Johnson. Wuthout him RU has precious little depth or frontcourt size. And Cliff is not the defender he is and also foul prone.
And in this game especially, Myles is HUGELY important on the defensive glass. Houston has one of the best offensive rebounding teams in the country.
Bottom line, if Myles can’t go, we have almost zero shot of winning.
We always lose to backups. unless we win, then it’s only reason we won.Remember, NCST tried 2 backups when Russel Wilson went down in the PJ Bowl and we still won. So doesn't that cancel out a couple losses to backups??
Almost zero? Yeah, tell the rest of the team to just pack up and leave Indy now.
Johnson's always a crucial cog in the wheel for us, and he sets up a lot of what we do defensively and offensively - but if there were ever a game where he might not be as crucial, it might be this one?
My thinking is that they don't really play a true center at all, and their two 5s are both 6-8 and 225/230... aren't great scorers, and tend to foul.
Looking specifically at their 5 spot, they have Chaney and Gresham:
Gresham: 19 starts, 17.9 min, 3.3 pts, 3.2 rb, 1.6 blk, 2.6 pf
Chaney: 9 starts, 14.0 in, 4.9 pts, 2.9 rb, 0.8 blk. 2.1 pf
Combined, that's just 31.9 min, 6.2 pts, 6.1 rb, 2.4 blk, 4.7 pf..... leaving 8.1 min/game where their 5 spot is manned by someone who is 6-7 220/225 (either Gorham or Roberts).
We might be able to play a bit more small-ball without being hurt too much by it, putting Harper/McConnell at the 5 for stretches. It also puts their 3/4 a bit more in Mulcahy's defensive range.... not big enough to bully him, but not smaller with lateral quickness to get by him.

We can win whether he plays or not. Their schedule was garbage. We'll be the best D they face all year
