Kane's Ankle

[gocubs2118]

Game time decision tomorrow, per Fred.

Good. Much rather have him healthy for the long run. MM can manage the game, so the rest need to step up the scoring and defense.

Yup, Matt Thomas and SDW better be ready to play some mins and put up some pts.

Gametime decision is what we heard on Ejim too and he played against Michigan. Completely different player/issue though.

Hope Kane can go and be effective.

Anyone know a good ankle transplant doctor? I'm a willing donor.

No boot or crutches at this time. Just limping around.

He could be fine and Fred would say it a game time decision, no sense in telling KU one way or the other.

Exactly. He;s a warrior and I expect him to play

Inferior ankles will not help our cause.

He may be a warrior but a bad stick is a bad stick. I hope he can play with tape, but my guess is no.

I am starting to think he will play too, but even if he can't go Monday since it is reported he isn't on crutches or in a walking boot it seems he avoided a multiple week injury and should be able to go soon there after. Cyclone nation should be able to exhale now.

Kansas has hit 8 threes last two games. Seldon is the guy to guard and Hogue will likely take him. If Kane cant play I"m still confident in our match up with KU as Monte is a pretty good defensive player as is naz. KU's strength is in their front court and they outrebounded OU by 15 at OU. If we get crushed on the boards Monday we will lose

I think he'll play, but not play well.

Don't have a good feeling about this one.

That is a huge positive

I agree; what good is it to have a point guard who can't cut, change directions, or lift off the bum foot?

Kane also plays off the ball well. Posts up guards routinely. If Monte can run point with Niang running it at times, Kane play off the ball mostly, he would still be effective.

Really? He's not a spot up shooter. His strength is driving the ball into the paint like a bull.

If Kane is out for any extended time, karma has come calling for all the jokes about Iowans depth. We could use a little depth now.

Once again its not that ISU doesn't have depth, its that they don't go deep (no pun intended) during the game.
