Play Victor or not?

Let's say that hypothetically Oladipo is a game-time decision for the MSU game Tuesday. Do you play him and give yourself the best shot to win and put yourself in a good spot to win the Big Ten Regular Season Championship? Or, do you sit and rest him to minimize risk of him injuring his ankle even worse? Personally, if there's any doubt, I sit him. Rather have him healthy for March/April. No right or wrong answers. Just wanna know what everyone else thinks.

IMO, if there is any question at all, sit him because after Tuesdays game we don't play again for another week.

If it's really just a sprained ankle then play him...a serious tape job and a brace and he'll be fine. Lets beat Sparty!!

Have to believe that the Midwest Regional is on the line this game... The way he was tearing up that treadmill makes me believe that he will play Tuesday.

Victor Oladipo practiced yesterday and wasn't held out of any drills.  Baring a set back today, Victor will be ready to go Tuesday night.  We are going to need him!

I say play him, but limit his minutes by a few. Victor is the toughest player in the league so I don't think a sprained ankle is going to keep him away from anything. He's got this! We need to beat that cocky ass Nix.

If it is a sprained ankle, anybody that has played basketball for years has been there and dealt with this injury. If he is effective and can play, he should play. If he can't help the team by being on the floor, he shouldn't play. Any competitor is going to want to be on the floor for this big of a game. Coach Crean knows whether he is ready to go. If he practiced the last 2 days without discomfort, he will definitely be on the floor and the injury won't be an issue.
