Has anyone heard anything on him? We are going to need all the big men that we have to handle their center next Saturday.
I was surprised that nobody asked Tinkle about him in the presser after the game.

He was on the "bench" so I don't think it was a disciplinary thing or a Covid thing. Also surprised no one asked WT about it.

There was some twitter speculation this morning on a lower back injury. Still nothing specific from WT as far as I can tell..

My take on it is either he broke covid protocol and left his room at an inappropriate time, or since this was finals week there may have to be a little academic issue to catch up on. Hopefully whatever went on isn't serious and he plays this next weekend, I think the team will need him.

Just watched some of the replay and Andela was really into the game as a teammate......hands in the air and jumping around when we scored or made a great play. Always fun to see that from someone unable to play in the game.

Hopefully whatever went on isn't serious and he plays this next weekend, I think the team will need him. "too early to say" leads me to believe he's just dinged up. Timing wouldn't make sense for an academic issue given that finals were last week.

I also think it's very possible that WT did not see him as a good matchup vs. OKState. He puts the ball on the floor more than our other bigs, and that did not go well yesterday when they did that.

Timing wouldn't make sense for an academic issue given that finals were last week. What happens if a player is taking the minimum required hours and has a conflict with a final or two (travel/game/practice/whatever) and has arranged to take an incomplete and take the final early the next week? I assume this can happen, it may or may not be the case in this case.

Gianni tweeted last night that he felt fine. Let's hope that holds true.

I’d like to believe it was only this. But if that was the case, there wouldn’t be any doubt about his status at this point

That's a million-dollar gut, there. I gotta admit, Tucker was a beast.

That's a million-dollar gut, there. I gotta admit, Tucker was a beast. No kidding. Especially with the solid minutes that Andela had been giving you. Tucker is one of the guys that I was worried about potentially leaving at the end of the year. Hopefully his contribution in that game shows him that he can be a key piece in the future.
