VO5 Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Their best guard Geo Baker is playing tonight after being ruled out indefinitely a couple weeks ago with a broken thumb. Was not expected to play, so of course he makes his return against us JaybobHoosier 1 Quote
JaybobHoosier Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 I’m not suprised. We don’t usually have any luck on either side when it comes to injuries. But he hasn’t played in a few weeks so I’m not sure he will be all that sharp. His next game will be the one where he really shines.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appWatch him go for 30 lol. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

LIHoosier Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Is it just me or does BTN always have some mastodon interview Archie while the normal size play-by-play guy interviews the opposition? Next game, they're gonna bring in Rik Smits and put him on a hydraulic lift just to interview Archie. coonhounds and FloridaHoosierGirl 1 1 Quote
RaceToTheTop Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 BTN saying that Baker would be 'integrated back into the rotation'? If so, Pikiell was lying on Monday when he said that he had to be examined and go through practices before coming back. Quote
