Yes he'll be back. CJJ said if it were a big school he would have played. His ankle was a little dinged up

Her are Jones post game comments:

On Jordan Mickey's status...
"Jordan (Mickey) is fine. If he was needed tonight, he would have been available, but he had treatment that past couple of days. We wanted to make sure that we allowed the process to take place there. I think it will, and he will be available for us on Tuesday (against UMass). We look forward to him coming back, getting into practice and getting reps in tomorrow."

Good precautionary move by Jones.

Certainly allowed Bridgewater a shot at getting some minutes. Scary having Epps and Mickey out though.

Yes, biggest two game stretch of the year for post season hopes give early SEC OOC results.

The UMASS and WV games are HUGE. We need to win at least 1 and winning both will put us back in good position moving forward.

Absolutely SOS. We really kind of shite the bed in the Virgin Islands. Gotta make up for it. Need some guys who were supposed to be better step up and show if they are really good enough or not and we need to somehow find a way to get those kids to commit to executing team defense.

He has, but it's all been against the shorter teams. Im a little worried with him against bigger teams, but he has definitely been much better than I expected. I was skeptical with the entire year off where he couldn't practice with the team, but he has proven me wrong. There were still a few rebounds that he had good position but the opponents got the ball over him cause he's so short.

He will be nice for a few minutes in games, but with his size, he can't be a real threat inside against a lot of teams.

I'd like to be proven wrong but I don't believe you'll see this under "The Bullet"

We got no shot at beating WVU.

my fear too Andrew. I think It's been confirmed with the defensive product early this year that it wasn't the small guards after all. IMHO the defensive issues are the same with bigger guards.

I think it's more not holding kids accountable more than anything else, and I hoped some of the new staff additions would help in that regard. To this point it has not and our defense is still really unacceptable.

No one here can convince me we can't play better team defense with what we have. But until we do the things necessary to improve that issue, winning games like the next two that are really huge as far as playing for anything significant this year...will be very difficult.
