Dylan Harper

[Old Gold n Black]

It's no secret that Rutgers is a completely different team when Dylan Harper plays. Apparently since his triple double against Columbia on Dec 30, he's been dealing with a serious illness. He missed the entire game against IU. Last night against Wisconsin he played only 15 min, and just didn't look like himself.

Will he be ready for Thursday's game? I hope not, but I'm fully expecting him to be hotter than a grease fire at a Mexican restaurant. After all, why would he miss Rutger's super bowl?

Heard last night on the telecast that he was coming off Covid.

I assumed it was the Norovirus that has been happening out East here. I'm sure he'll be ready for us

I think he should sit out one more game, just to be sure he’s 100% healthy

You know damn well he's gong to be back to 100% and score 40 Thursday night.

I don't know about 40 but Bailey will not go 3 - 16 from the field like he did last night

Anyone think there might be a change in the starting line up vs Rutgers? Maybe Colvin for CJ? Could Miles match up better defensively with Bailey?

Doubtful. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Current lineup has been working. But if CJ gets cooked a few times early then yes I expect Colvin to be in ASAP.

Painter usually (emphasis on usually) doesn't tinker after a win, but you never know. They are definitely going to need Colvin, Harris, and Heide, along with Furst, to battle @ Jersey Mike's. I'm going to guess same starters, but like Harrys surmised - Painter will not hesitate to go to the bench if Rutgers is exploiting a match-up.

Also - no silly fouls, please.

And take care of the ball.
And hit the boards.

Also depends on Harper health.

I would be curious how they match up against us. CJ is really good at getting guys off balance and getting them into picking up stupid fouls.

If Harper plays, I doubt he will be 100%. Painter might let Bailey shoot 30-40 shots and beat us by himself.

Maybe we will see how Whisky defended them and attacked them as our path to victory. Honestly, pace and speed for us will be critical. Got to keep them off balance.
