Woolfolk/Reiber was our sixth man for 30 minutes today. Without Paul and Caleb this team gets a bit thin. Especially in the backcourt.

Yeah. I’m concerned about this. When he left the game, he didn’t take much hard contact and was in complete agony, which indicates his shoulder was hanging on by a thread from the previous game. If these injuries don’t get the proper rest, time and therapy, they will linger.

He probably should not have returned the last game. It's not like he was needed in a 35 point win.

Last year needing 28/34 from the charity stripe and shooting so bad I’m not sure we win today. I think we’ll be fine with rest.

Jalen Miller played well after he went down in the first half. Not as good in the second. He will need to step up if we are to keep winning with both of them out.

Doctors wouldn’t have cleared him if his shoulder was severe, unless he further injured it?

He hurt it again this game and sat the second half. Question is if it was additional damage he didn't have going into this game.

I love the way he plays but in hindsight probably not worth diving for loose balls in the season opener. You don’t need that possession in the first half against Columbia that bad. I’d imagine this is something he’s going to be dealing with for a while this season.

Also keep in mind this is the same Temple team that lost to Wagner on their home floor. I think we’ll be fine.

If Paul can’t play vs Temple and Caleb can , would you simply have Caleb come off the bench and have Simpson start? Or does Caleb start in lieu of Mag or Hyatt with Simpson starting? Or does Simpson still come off the bench and Caleb starts at G.

Caleb seemed to be moving ok when he was walking around during warm ups - hopefully a good sign.

I didn’t watch the game today. How bad does Paul’s shoulder look? Assuming it’s the same one he hurt opening game, is it a short term thing or not sure?

He’ll be back by the next game. My concern is for Caleb ‘s return by the time we begin playing B1G opponents.

We are Rutgers … I’d expect TU to win by 15 + if both are unavailable … team looked pretty bad today in the 2nd half.

I’m sure I’ll catch a load of **** for this comment but with the earlier expected emergence of Simpson, we need Caleb wayyyyyy more than we need Paul. I hope Caleb is ready to come back next game. Let Paul rest and get whatever his “upper body injury” (Schiano-speak lol) is dealt with to be healthy for conference play.

Yes.
Need Hyatt to play under control, finish and share the ball.

Need Cliff to get the ball in better spots. Way too often he's getting the ball too far away from the basket. We'll probably need around 20 from him.
