If Garcia's out, they only have 7 scholarship players. I'm not sure who "someone else" would even be. Ramburg did start a few games but literally hasn't played since December.It never ends. I feel sorry for Ben on this one.
I assume it is going to be Payne, Ola Joseph, Battle, Samuels and Cooper. If Thompson or someone else starts over Payne- I'm throwing the brick.

I wouldn’t worry about who starts but more minute distribution. As long as Payne stays out of foul trouble he should have 27-32 minutes if Garcia is out.It never ends. I feel sorry for Ben on this one.

??Not sure how TT's remaining eligibility would be effected if he plays any more this season...but if he can retain 3 years by not playing maybe he should tell the coach don't put me in. We all know if he plays against Indiana he'll return to the end of the bench when Garcia returns.
So then he plays, if BJ calls on him and then returns to the end of the bench when BJ's no longer needs him to fill in for Garcia.??
Buckets isn’t like football, he’s already played this year, so this year’s eligibility is used up already.
That’s how being an end of the bench guy works…So then he plays, if BJ calls on him and then returns to the end of the bench when BJ's no longer needs him to fill in for Garcia.
I should have added...and at the end of the season TT should enter rhe transfer portal.That’s how being an end of the bench guy works…
I think he will.I should have added...and at the end of the season TT should enter rhe transfer portal.
I hope BJ asks TT if he wants to play. ‘Nah.’ This is my favorite Ben story of his coaching career. It is/was when everything became clear.So then he plays, if BJ calls on him and then returns to the end of the bench when BJ's no longer needs him to fill in for Garcia.
That’s his optionI should have added...and at the end of the season TT should enter rhe transfer portal.
There are medical redshirts available in basketball based on number of games played and how late in the season though:??

Txs.There are medical redshirts available based on number of games played and how late in the season though:
In order to be granted a medical redshirt, the athlete must:
- Suffer an injury that is deemed “season-ending”
- Their injury must occur before the halfway point of the season
- Not participate in more than 30% of the season’s games

How Does the NCAA Medical Redshirt Work? | 2aDays
You’ve been recruited to play the sport that you love at the collegiate level, but you’ve also suffered an injury that may hinder your performance orwww.2adays.com
I did not realize TT got some run during the most recent Purdue game, so moot point.Txs.
I was excluding the medical redshirt. As TT hadn’t suffered a season ending injury and we’re on the backstretch of the season.
So for tomorrow's game:
Carrington-Out
Garcia-unknown
Payne-unknown
Ramburg-?? He had a leg injury and didn't play the 2nd half
JOJ-Probably can go since he came back in when Thompson fouled out?
Does the 7 player rule apply generally, or is that only a Covid thing?
