Will Paige get a few minutes vs Northern Iowa

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Boy will that be a tough call for Coach Williams. Do you want to take a chance of further injury with the team's best player for the sake of a lot of his family and friends getting to see the home state hero play before them even for just a few minutes or do you continue to rest him and let the injury get better. I know Coach Williams has a lot of respect for his senior sharpshooter and they have developed a close relationship but what would u do? No question what I would do I would start Paige like a player on senior night. Let him play until the first whistle then take him out immediately. This way everyone would save face but that is just me. Again what do you feel Coach Williams will do?

I agree with that. Let him be introduced & play the first few min.

He might start the tip and pull him right after they get their first possession (2nd if after the tip).

Maybe even announce him as a starter during inttros then sub him out before tipoff just so the family and friends can appreciate him during starting lineups. Or is that too cheesy?

I think there,s zero chance he plays tomorrow. If he did o think it'd be at the last minute of a game already decided. Not even sure of the value of that. I don't think he can handle the ball well at all with the hand wrap. I expect no play for him in KC either. I'd just be happy if he can get back for Maryland.

 

[UNC-75]

No chance of playing. Big picture is what will be important. Games in March and April are the focus for this team.

Hey, I see I'm a "Hall of Famer". What does that mean? Are they trying to tell me I'm old??? Darn.

I think he starts like its senior night with specific instructions not to pass him the ball. They will get him the ball once so he can shoot then he will be taken out after a called timeout to a standing ovation

I wouldn't risk it. He's too valuable to the team. His friends and family will understand that if he doesn't play, or if he only plays for a minute or two so he can get an ovation. We need a healthy Paige to reach our potential this year.

 

[TPFKAPFS]

I'd be really scared to play him at all. Who knows when we will meet the next Cretin! I would save him until it was 100% healed since we have a larger goal for the year. I expect his family/friends would understand as well. It's probably equally hard on MP and Roy though!

Read somewhere online where it said no Paige wouldn't be playing
