Just a clarification, Kevin's problem this past week has not been his back (at least not more than usual). He's having some stomach (?) problems and has been getting nauseus and more...hopefully he will get rid of the bug before Saturday So then why would Lazerus report that Kevin got a cortisone injection in his back today? Maybe that's just something that Kevin has to have to be able to play. It doesn't necessarily mean things are bad, but the cortisone injection might dull the pain for a few days at a time?

As mentioned, Kevin always has a back problem, but that's not what kept him from playing more last week. He will probably always have to play with the back problem, but the other is some kind of bug...sorry if I confused you

He could still be getting the cortisone shots as a way to reduce the pressure and pain. Also, don't forget the return of Witt who can go and bang with Howard and Smith and bring 5 fouls to the party to help Cory.

If Brandon and Jay are both out Saturday, I think our chances of winning are very slim. They'll clog the middle with Howard and Smith and force us to hit outside shots like the first game. It took Jay hitting 3 3's to get us back in it then. And that's when we had Brandon and everyone else at full strength. Maybe we'll get lucky and Butler will stink up the place like it seems they are prone to do from time to time. You forgot that Matt Kenney was still suffering from his concussion during the Jan. 1 game at Butler. Matt will make a huge difference against Butler and many of his friends who missed him at the game at Hinkle will make the drive up I-65 with me and the Butler fans for Saturday's game. You will see a lot from Matt Kenney on Saturday I can guarantee you that. I'm not sure if Kenney & Witt make up for Wood & Harris but it being a home game sure doesn't hurt either. From what I hear it's Mack & Nored's defense that has really let the Bulldogs down. That's why teams like Milw, GB & YSU are scoring many more points then last year against Butler.

Inversion tables rock. They have straightened my back and given me the chance to get back to scouting for the Chicago Bulls.

One thing is guaranteed. After Wood's visit to the specialist in Chicago that works with the Cubs, this Crusader team will never make it to the World Series. :-)

Terrific piece! The best Valpo basketball journalism in recent memory.
And very long? Must have been some kind of feature? Or was it just long, combining what are sometimes two Thursday Valpo basketball stories into one?
I wonder if there were photos in the print edition?

Sounds as though Wood maybe another Jay Cutler type. I'm afraid we're a bunch of wimps. Butler by 10. Book it!

I don't now anything about Jay Cutler other than what his teammates and coache have said. I do know Brandon and what you have said is stupid and offensive. If Brandon can play at all he will. This young man lives and breathes for basketball and would do anything to help his team win. Your comments no longer surprise me because you are almost universally wrong. Nonetheless, you owe Brandon an apology.

It does no good to patronize jj's comments. He does it just for such a response...even though it is stupid and thoughtless. Some people don't care who they hurt with their words
