Nothing new reported on Daniel Ruffin. As many here know, Daniel was examined by an "out of town specialist" Friday--

I'm guessing it's probably to keep UNI preparing for Ruffin in some capacity, but does anyone honestly think Daniel will suit up today? I sure don't, and I am not sure I want him to unless he's pain free and isn't risking re-injury.

Sorry but, I believe as an experienced Senior. One of of the two returning leading scorers in The Valley One of the leading 3 point shooters in the game, JC should be our go to guy-leading scorer with an avg near 20ppg. He is capable of leading The Valley in scoring not being 7th,, but that is just me.
I think given better looks, he is our best outside shooter, with or without Ruffin.

I believe JC is doing all that he can do. The opponents' D are gearing for him and our outside game and until we are capable of scoring in the paint not much will change. One thing about JC is that he does not try to do more then he can. I'd like to see him be able to create his own shot by driving in and pulling up for a mid-range jumper, other then that he has played within his capabilities to what has been given.

BTW..Any free feeds out there today? I'll try the CSTV links on Channelsurfing but I can't find anything else beyond that.

The 4th hand info I'm getting is kiss January good bye......


When DR first got hurt I made a comment about sitting him for Wright State, Butler and VCU if needed because the conference was MORE importaint. Wow.....how that month off would have been nice.

OUCH! 10+ games is a lot to overcome without a senior PG who was averaging 34 min/game before the Butler game.

Eric B says on the pregame show...."He'll be out for a few weeks for sure".
