Dean Wade Might Not Play Tomorrow
-
@JayHawkFanToo I agree. Seems like a good young man. If that is true, I feel bad for him.

I don’t believe it
He IS hurt, but he might play through it. Watch the 2nd half of their game yesterday and focus on Wade. Or don’t and just believe me. :p

He had an injury back in HS and had to have surgery on his foot. Still has a pin inside him from that. Seems like he aggravated that injury.
-
Too bad we’re not playing in Lawrence or Manhattan. Some K-State fan would be holding a sign that says “You’re not in Kansas any more”.
-
I don’t see any confirmation that Wade is injured other than the link posted above which has no verification or confirmation from a credible source.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Fitz (KSU GPC reporter) pretty much just confirmed it. Still, whenever there is official word either way I will post that.
-
He isn’t 100% to sit out the game at this point but he did 100% aggravate his injured foot. Fitz verified this on their 247 board.
-
So w/e happens it’s a positive for KU. Wade won’t be healthy if he plays.
-
Is that info in the VIP section? I just checked GPC, 247Sports and Tim Fitzgerald Twitter account and I see nothing.

Yes it’s VIP.
-
Interesting. As soon as KU knew Doke was injured the information was officially released. I have seen nothing official from KSU about Wade only unnamed sources.
-
@JayHawkFanToo The strangest thing is it was quite apparent to anyone watching their game yesterday. So I’m not sure what there is to hide. Gotta keep the KU coaches on their toes I guess.
-
Hard to believe Squeaky would sit his best player, unless he absolutely has to, and basically concede the game to KU; any other team? Maybe. KU? Seriously doubt it.
-
radio is confirming Wade is unlikely to play. Matt Tait just tweeted it as well. Will have to keep monitoring
-
I guess Squeaky does not need to blame the refs now…

Right he’s got an injury to blame now. Maybe he’ll blame Azubuike while he’s at it for causing a chain reaction
-
Kansas St is in the tourney, no need to risk your best player now if you have a chance to have him healthy to play next week.
-
@BeddieKU23 Nah, he will say they just want to give KU a chance.
-
-
TRUTH - It bugs the living crap out of me that we’re spending this much time talking about an opponent. ESPECIALLY A K-STATE PLAYER. For the love of all that is holy…
-
Everything seems to evolve from that one original article and anonymous sources; no offcial word that I have seen yet.
-
@nuleafjhawk 1st team Big12. Kinda seemed important since our center is out… Do we just ignore these things and wonder who will show up at game time?
-
@nuleafjhawk you seem to be on edge lately…
-
@JayHawkFanToo It would have been simple to deny, though. Keeping quiet cannot possibly help KSU’s strength in the perception of the Committee.

I’m worried that your not worried about our opponent!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 LOL - do you remember what happens to us in March and April ???
-
@BeddieKU23 I worry about opponents when they’re not named K-State.

That’s fine we own Brucey.
I do expect you, however to worry twice as much about our opponents next week even if its a #16 seed
-
@nuleafjhawk 195-93
-
@BeddieKU23 Dude (I assume?) I am scared to death about the #16 thing. Seriously. We have NO business being a #1 seed, and if we actually are, i feel it’s a set up by the powers that be to make sure that Kansas is the first number one to be taken down by a 16.
We’ve set some records this year - 1st Self team to get swept by a big 12 opponent, 1st Kansas team to get beaten 78 times in a row in a single season in Lawrence (Hyperbole is my friend). I DON’T want to set this other new record.
-
I hope Carolina pounds Dook. Then we lock up a 1 seed. If we win our next two, I expect xavier to get beat by Nova again, so maybe we could be the 1 seed in the MW.
-
@BeddieKU23 ROTFLMAO…PHOF!
-
@nuleafjhawk KSU could have easily won in Lawrence. I’m sure the game today will be close. Wouldn’t shock me if KSU won…
-
@nuleafjhawk No business getting a 1 seed? Are you crazy?
-
They are talking about UNC possibly getting a 1 seed, so this KU team definitely has a shot…
Not a great year honestly.

You assumed correctly.
I am scared about everything especially without Azubuike. We survived one game where there was incentive (revenge) to not let Oklahoma St punk us a 3rd time. We should be equally motivated today playing the Purps and the squeaky bandit. I mean its 6 on 5 on the court, literally, as Bruce squeaks 5 feet in from his boundary circle.
Likely-hood of us losing to a #16 seed? Statistically zilch. Unwritten rule, not happening.
I think if we win the Big-12 tourney despite the injury setback we deserve to be rewarded although sitting in the #2 spot in Xavier’s bracket looks like a cozy spot to have as opposed to being put in the West where they will load up the bracket to beat us…
-
@BShark It’s a horrible year in college basketball. I don’t think there is a great team in the whole field. Still, if we win our next 2, we get a 1 seed.

That’s just ESPN choking on themselves as usual. If they didn’t talk them up they’d have to talk up Kentucky and then circle back to Duke. Well they probably already have…
-
@nuleafjhawk see jay baller about meds, soon. Your glass is empty!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 LOL - - Whaaaaa? - -do we have a patient in need of ummm some happy pills ? lol = = = =ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BShark AND - - there it is. - -I feel much better about the game tonight now. - -You have just secured our win lol - -Thanks buddy. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I’m hearing both ways on Wade playing, kinda silly IMO. I wouldn’t chance him not playing next week but doubt they go anywhere anyway. @BShark UNC as a 1 seed is crazy, the 6th place ACC team is one of the top 4 teams in the nation? GTFO lol
-
I did some trolling on their boards - - -Imagine that lol. - -Anyways talk of that the foot he had trouble with before that the pin that is in the foot is inflamed again. - -I heard that and then also heard about stress fracture in the foot .
For me = - -I don’t care really he is a good player but doesn’t put the fear of GOD into me - - if he plays he plays - if not then so be it - -either way were gonna be ok.
-
Wade’s dad says game time decision.
-
KSU is safely in, just a question of seeding at this time.
-
@KUSTEVE I’m not crazy - just realistic. SO - as a one seed, what’s the expectation? Final Four - that’s the whole idea of getting a one seed. You think this team is final four material? Nope - neither do I.
-
Duke came from 10 down to beat UNC last week and probably will beat them again tonight. No way, no how, no ma’am that UNC is a #1 seed.
On a happier note, KU has picked up 4 wins over UK and 1 over UNC in the all time wins.

Now Offical - --DEAN WADE IS OUT for tonight - saying precautionary - Wade is now out. - - --ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
