Team Injury Report...

[ABtheVolsfan92]

Thought we'd need a thread on this for week to week.

Ziegler missed practice, Barnes thinks it wasn't his knee. We could be without him saturday depending on what happens today

 

[ABtheVolsfan92]

According to the mods, Ziegler was dressed in practice today but didn't do "team stuff". Barnes didn't seemed concerned but he will be a "game time decision"

Gators win either way. If not ZZ, then it will be a double digit loss.

88-69 Gators if no ZZ top

 

[CAVPUT]

Of course. Pick the one guy we
can't afford to lose and watch it happen.

I’ve watched every game this season so far. I might find something else to do this time

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Season might actually be cooked. And next year is looking rough.

Think Rothstein is mistaken here and this should say knee for ZZ

shoulder is a curve ball, guessing that's wrong?

Yep, looks like it was wrong

If he can't go he can't but it would surprise me if Ziegler missed the most critical game of the year

Probably mixed that with Cade or Boswell.

Igor is the fourth player in the last two weeks to get the flu. ZZ has a lot of stiffness still, apparently.

I'm going to bet he doesn't play if that's the case.

Barnes sounded confident he would play, that just coaches speak?

It’s a problem that we don’t have someone who can step in and be serviceable. Auburn loses their best player and they just keep winning.

The number of times we have UT athletes get the flu before a big game is astonishing. What do they all do, lick the doorknobs before practice every day?

Aren't you a ray of sunshine?

What makes it so critical? We are out of the conference race. From here till the start of the NCAA Tournament we are just trying to get things right and be healthy then.

 

[cardvolfan]

We’re thin right now, regardless of who is able to play. Reeling a bit from the losses. Crucial for the players to hear the fans’ full support.

For the poster that questioned how in the world Tennessee can get the flu at such inopportune times, I would say to step outside that space in your own little world. It happens to most teams as well during a season.

True. UT can win today . . . Even without ZZ - but they will have to do what they have not done in a good amount of time - shoot the ball well. ZZ is the heart of the team / great defender / great leader / he will be missed. But he has not been shooting well at all. No one else has either.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Zeigler won’t play today

 

[ABtheVolsfan92]

Ziegler is out that is a massive blow
