UTRGV @ Creighton, 8:00, FS1 - Mike Monaco, Nick Bahe
Line: Creighton -18/140.5

Brutal game to watch. Key point is that Damien Jefferson got hurt and didn’t play in the second half.

Jays playing multiple freshman walkons and still rolling.

if you had a full stable of bigs you guys would be nasty. still pretty good without them

Cant seem to ever be full strength, atleast Mahoney can step in for Jefferson. K. Jones should be back next game. Mintz is still a question mark.

Has there been a Big East program more hit in recent years by the injury bug than Creighton? "Next man up" only works for so long, so hopefully he bounces back quickly. Any word on what happened?

He landed awkwardly on a layup, has a strained calf. Will be re-evaluated tomorrow.

The Jays should get a new strength and conditioning coach.

Lol, we did starting this year. Supposedly he is great and the players really like him, got him from Vanderbilt.

Yeah, there was a lot talk about him working on the way players moved, jumped, etc. to reduce injuries, plus conditioning. Mac's a control freak and thought he was addressing it. But not much to do about sprained ankles broken legs.

It's been strange following the team the last few years, with the devastating injuries and guys leaving early for the NBA (which NEVER happened before). You learn to expect the worst and then blame Mac.
