Has Drew said anything ?or is it one of those "day to day" things where he's out all year.
The situation is weird. He's been medically cleared. He's also said he's feels the best he's felt in years yet he's not playing.

I don't think anyone knows. All I know is during his interview with Cam and Moze a couple of weeks ago it sure sounded like Fran basically hinted that we wouldn't see Love until mid to late January and we all know who Fran's source would be.

I think we need to treat every Langston Love appearance like a luxury. He's a great player and a good program guy. But through no fault of his own, he can't be counted on. His injury history is just too extensive to confidently pencil him into the rotation for more than a stretch here and there.

He was a game-time decision yesterday, and is considered day-to-day...according to the TV broadcast last night.

I'm hoping CSD is just playing it smart w LL. No need to bring him into TWO heavy weight fights coming off an injury. Especially when neither outcome has a significant impact on our season.

I wish I believed "game time decision" statements. Anyone remember LJ Cryer being a "game time decision" and "day to day" for the final 7 weeks of 2021-22 season? He only stepped foot on the floor 1 time after January 25th and missed 15 games.

Utah football is the only college program that has as many strange injury situations as BU basketball. Love was also game time several weeks both of the previous two seasons. There was one more guy who was "game time" quite a bit in the 22' season as well.

Yup. Akinjo.

Drew's certainly not the only coach who does it so I don't put much stock into any coach saying someone is a game time decision.

Yep it was Akinjo. The whole roster that was left was playing through some serious pain in 22' or we would have Uconn'ed to a title that year (went OT with the hottest team / recently beat and co-champs with the eventual champ)

Definitely agree. KU would have been the favorite in '20 but we also would have been one of the 4 or 5 most likely to win. Then won it in '21. And no one looked like they could touch us after that demolishing of Nova in front of Dickie V in December of '21-22 year. And then injuries got us.

That same Nova team made the final four and then got run by KU. I think they run to a title. With Langston, Cryer, and Jon healthy in addition to the other guys we had.. forget it.

We were 17-0 and ranked #1 before being snakebit by injuries.

Before all the injuries that '21-'22 team was to date the last team we've had that was capable of playing great man to man defense.

That Villanova game at the Ferrell Center was legitimately terrifying. I've never seen a college defense flying around like that. We absolutely dominated a team that went to the FF.

Such a shame that injuries derailed that season. It goes to show how much the stars have to align to make a deep tourney run.
