Posted in the Romeo thread... but applicable here as well...

Post-Game presser Archie said Romeo probably wouldn't play this game either, but he kept alluding to it being a quick turnaround with a game on Thursday. Appears the game isn't until Saturday now... hopefully that gives the back time to feel better and this is truly an injury situation and nothing nefarious.

So is Gafford not playing?

Gafford is sitting out the NIT, declaring for the NBA Draft and signing an agent per Arkansas Head Coach

Romeo should absolutely in no way rush back for the NIT if he’s even remotely injured.

As long as we still have games and he's still part of this team, he should be playing.

Teams have declined the NIT in the past. I have zero problem when a kid declines. 

And like I said, it's a positive for the other Gs to get PT in advance of next year. 

I don't see too much of a negative at all if he does not play.

Negative is were trying to win and he is one of our stars. I however think he is legitimate hurt and will play if healthy

Agree to disagree. NIT is like a bad CFB bowl. It has more value as increased practice time for next year, then anything else. 

Winning without him would mean more than winning with him (from a team perspective).. And for him to risk injury is silly if he's a lottery pick.

I'm all for Romeo staying out regardless. Silly to risk injury, and the team is better off learning to play without him. Would rather see the other Gs get valuable PT. 

The only thing is that if we are forced to play the other guards, we only have three....plus Anderson.  And all three of them are in the starting rotation.  Any foul trouble, injury, etc., and we could see 26 minutes of Anderson like we did the first time we played Arkansas.
