Just glad he didn't tear something in his shoulder or bicep. I'd honestly rather have him sit out Saturday if it helps get him right.

Hopefully a fast heal. Will be interesting to see who drives this group if he has to miss time.

Gilbert and Pav at least have some pg skills, but really almost no team in the country could replace a guy like Tamin. He's producing pretty elite in the advanced stats. There are some advanced defensive stats where he has a likely chance of being #1 all time Big 12 player since he's an elite defender/rebounder on good defensive teams.

Gilbert can d up, but would be worried about defense with extended Pav minutes. Hope C Jones foul trouble last game was an anomoly.

Might be as good a time as any for him to miss a game; I don't anticipate a win Saturday as it is and it might be good to force more time for other players.

Not looking forward to the Milan, Tre, Bre, Pavs defensive rotations. If Lipsey is out I'm really hoping Otz finally unleashes Ward (25 mins plus) and plays Watson more.

I'm not a big fan of Pavs playing point but with Keshon playing the way he has Otz doesn't really have a choice.
 
No 3-guard lineup. No more than 2 of KG, CJones, and Pav on the floor at a time.
Without Lipsey, I don't expect a win.
But "that's why they play the game."
 
This is TJ's chance to show just how good of a coach he is. If he can game plan around not having his all everything (leading in pts, r, a, & s) point guard in such a tough game(s)...

Fill in the blank yourself.

Lipsey is pretty tough. I wouldn't be surprised if they tape up his shoulder and he plays. I trust the coaching staff to be able to correctly assess the situation and make the correct decision.
