Actually, I feel like if you tried to punch Dittman's face, it would turn into putty and then reform after the punch.

How many points did Frager have the first time we beat Illinois?

0. They ate him up & Fred limited him to 13 minutes. He watched the last 10ish minutes of the game on the bench.

IIRC, it's the lowest minutes he's played in the B1G right behind the Indiana game. He's averaged close to 29 minutes in B1G play outside of those 2 games.

Have you heard anything more on what the plan is for Oogie this season?
 
Frager has averaged 23 minutes per game in B1G play with an 11.5 points per game average.

- We'll need our rotation of 7 to make up the minutes; 3.5 minutes more per guy
- We'll need our rotation of 7 to make up the points; 1.65 points more per guy

Sounds easy, but it's not. IIRC, it seems Fred has subbed out Mast & Sandfort at the same time. Without Frager, I don't think he can do this anymore, at least for an extensive period of time. It leaves us basically one shooter on the court, Lawrence or even Hoiberg, which isn't ideal.

SH - JL - PS - BB - RM is our starting 5.

Cale will continue to come in for Jamarques &/or Sam. This leaves Garcia to replace Sandfort, Berke &/or Mast.

I don't see Pryce & Rienk sitting at the same time, unless the score is really in our favor to do so (8-10+ point lead). Rotations are going to be interesting to watch come Saturday against Minnesota.

No, but I speculate he's (medical) redshirting to return next season. It would be huge if this happens. You can apply for, and typically get, a medical redshirt in MBB if you play in a limited amount of games and none after the halfway point of the season...

And so far, Oogie has played in 1 game (New Hampshire) which was game #13 (less than halfway point). He 100% qualifies for a medical redshirt.

It’s got to be mild. Hell he played on it for Several minutes last night.

He played for 2.5 minutes after his injury.

Fred called a timeout at this point. Andy Katz interviewed Fred during the TO and he said (paraphrase) he called it because he didn't like the flow we were in. IMO, that had to do with Frager favoring his injury.

Garcia needs to step up. Berke has been shooting better as well. Need Jacobsen to add 5-6 points against Minny. @minny will be tough, it’s’ still very winnable w/out Frager
