Giffey injured his finger early in the 2nd half...

...that's why he didn't come back in. I'm seeing a lot of people asking why Ollie didn't play him much in the 2nd half and especially late in the game. That's the reason why.

He is actually getting it X-rayed right now per Ostrout and Borges.

Got tired of seeing "Why wasn't Giffey in?", huh?

We can tell who doesn't have a Twitter acct..

Ahhh, thank you for the explanation-I knew it had to be something. Thinking it was crazy he wasn't in defensively on the Cincy inbounds under their own basket. Ironically, we generated a TO off that inbound anyway....

Exactly. The Hoarde was all over it on twitter as soon as it happened. Too bad the 2 idiots announcing the game didn't bother to let the viewers know. Easily the worst announcers of the year.

I just hope it's nothing that will keep him sidelined in our remaining games. No Giffey and no Shabazz and we become a 7 man team.

The Cronin-Cam is way more important than injuries to key players.

 

[alexd]

so where are our laptop coaches who show up after losses and know more than KO right about now???

Cronin-Cam was utterly terrible, but the announcers hit a new low when they actually scolded UConn for not fouling while only down 2 and a 20+ second difference between the shot clock and game clock. I was screaming at the TV because I was so enraged with them. Sure Parker was 1-9, but 100 times out of 100 you'd rather play good D and try to get the ball back (like UConn ended up doing) as opposed to giving your opponent a chance to go up 3 or 4. The fcuking stupidity and ignorance of the announcers was really incomprehensible.

well, we might be without Giffey now too

@UConnMBB says Niels Griffey had a "dislocation fracture" or right index finger, will be evaluated back in storrs.
