Game #16 vs. NJIT, 4:00

[UAalum72]

From the TU

 Justin Neely and Tairi Ketner were missing Wednesday due to health and safety protocols.

Coach Dwayne Killings did not commit to getting either back for NJIT.

More worrying for the Great Danes, leading scorer De’Vondre Perry’s status (leg) was also questionable for Saturday’s game. Killings said Friday he was still being evaluated.

Killings praised the creativity of coach Brian Kennedy, particularly his baseline plays.

Perry is out for the year. He’s having surgery.

[UA1882]

Unfortunate to lose potentially 3 starters for the season.  Now it's all about growth and attempting to be competitive. That's all we can ask for now. 

[tnehurley]

Awful turn of events. Just when we were starting to get some hope that this team could be very dangerous by season’s end. Do we get Perry back next year, on a redshirt, or no?

[UA1882]

This is just a guess but a very educated guess . The answer is no. This was his final year of eligibility and he has played too many games for a medical redshirt.

Correct unless he gets a medical waiver, which i would doubt. Feel badly  for him if this is how his career ends.

Thanks for the info. We shall see. He obviously would help next year, along with the 1st year players we have, and the anticipated good recruits from Coach K.

[McFan]

Awful for him and tough for this team.

Here’s to a successful surgery and full/quick recovery.

[Dane Pound]

Feel terrible for Perry. That's an awful way to end things if that was his last college game.

[UA1882]

Doles does nothing going toward the basket. Everything is a fade away . Or a straight shot. Easy to game plan against.

Some tough defense and hot hands! I like it.

Crickets….hello. Hello. Hello.

Watching stats. How's attendance?

Been watching on TV. Couldn't make it today. Great effort being short handed.

[UA1882]

Great win. Great defense. Offense did enough. Keep getting better and learning the system.
