I didn't see the game. but scoring 6 points in 38 mins isn't like Grant. Injury has definitely impacted his play. I didn't how much longer we survive giving up 90 plus a game.
Grant injury
- Thread starter UR80sfan
- Start date
You are correct, I shall amend my statement that while I think our 2-0 start is far from perfect I’ll still bask in the glow of 2-0.
Grant is a tough kid. It is very impressive how quickly he came back from his 1st sprained ankle. It take most people 6 weeks to recover. Obviously it was very week and he probably had a fair amount of pain, but he still put up respectable numbers. He is 7th in the league in rebounding and was selected to the all tournament team.
I hope he can play soon, but it is going to take time until he is 100% and while his ankle is weak will be receptive to further ankle sprains.

"Grant Golden is questionable for Richmond Saturday vs. Boston College, according to Spiders coach Chris Mooney. Golden (ankle) did not practice Thursday and will not practice Friday, per coach Mooney."
Not having GG available for practice really hurts our ranking as a top practice team.

I really hope they keep him out tomorrow and give him some time to heal. Really no need to rush him back and have a setback.
If we lose against BC and are somehow in the at large discussion at the end of the year they take injuries to star players into consideration anyway.

I wouldn’t count on us getting much benefit from the committee if we lose at home to an average BC without him. It’s just going to look like a loss to an average team. If he can play tomorrow, we need him to.
EL, I'm with you. The committee is not going to be looking at BC and UR to see who was out. No way. We need to win. Sucks about Grant's ankle, but if he doesn't play we need to find a way to win.
The ankle injury should never have happened. No starters should be left in any game once we have no chance to win or have already put away....for this very reason.
I think the larger point here is that GG never did recover from the first ankle injury. He should have been on the bench with his ankle on ice once it was clear that Auburn was going to beat us by 20 points. Poor injury management by CM and the training/medical staff.

He never recovered? Come on now. If you watched the game you saw it was a freak accident where he landed on the defenders foot. If he had never sprained an ankle before in his life, he still would’ve sprained it there.
GG better be in today. Must win for the Spides and no one else to cover for his beastly presence.
Son of a #%*#. We’ll see what the Spiders are made of today without our best man in the mix. Guards will have to light it up today.
I disagree, when we were in the CAA, we lost John Davis, the Committee did take it into account. . Grant will not play today or against Hampton out of caution, great decision!!!
Immediately followed by Mooney taking him out. Then we give up points in the paint and offensive rebounds. Let him play!
Hopefully Cayo is not serious, he was starting to assert himself on the offensive end. Playing really good.
60 -38. Total collapse by BC. Burton is rebounding everything. Beautiful to see.
Saw someone get beat off dribble and both Gus and Burton challenged hard at the rim. Very nice to see. Too many times past 5 years we concede the layup. Great games from Gus and Burton.
Refs let the teams play today, probably the best defensive effort I have seen from a Spider team in over ten years! Keep it up guys! Get well Grant and Nate, we will need you both.
intensity and passion.....
I think Sal showed today why he got few minutes last year. He can help in spots defensively, but is a long ways from being a starter (at least based on today's game)
In Sals defense, he shouldn't be our backup center BUT their center wasn't good and Sal could/should have done more.
