Scheer is sick, Downing has some leg issues, Weems can't hit a shot... am I missing any?

Injuries are part of sports. Deal with it and find a way to win. Besides, I don't think one guy with the sniffles and one guy with a sore knee is really indicative of an injury bug.

Scheer - strained PCL and was on crutches last Tues-Wed
Downing - knee tendinitis and hamstring strain
Pickens - knee very sore (coming off surgery) and he is over compensating for the weaker knee so is having problems with hip
Weems - tweaked his knee in our last exhibition and still bothering him

Coach said on his radio show he didn't think Pickens or Scheer would play against Tulsa but they gave some minutes.

I don't believe I was talking about anyone who was sick.

Oral Roberts is a solid program, this won't be an easy one for the Bears.

You are right. My understanding is they are pretty talented. And I think they have won 4 in a row.

Yeah I don't know what is in the water down there but they always have good guards and maybe not the largest but skilled big guys.
Their last four games haven't been the best of competition but they hung with West Virginia the entire game then laid a big egg against UTSA...
