    Hard to say, obviously, but those sprains usually take a week or two to improve.

    I think he blew an assignment after he first entered, but settled down after that.

    CTG said this morning that WC2 is close to 100% and will play. UF has state of the art training facilities, so it's not quite the same healing time as for you and me.

    Ankle sprains are all over the map. I have had ones playing hoops (in my 40's) where three days later I was fine. I have had other ones that took weeks to heal. They all hurt like hell in the moment.

    Urban goes 3 for 3 from 3pt with 2 assists and a steal in 17 very productive minutes
    That's 5 straight 3s....

    Wow. He does play some very pesky on-ball defense too. Quick hands and feet, very good at staying in front of his man. If he shoots like this and plays solid D, he’ll be a starter for us next year

    He got smoked a couple times on D, but was pretty solid on D otherwise.

    That stroke is great. He's gonna start cooking guys soon as they'll be closing out hard.

    Haha yes let’s just say he has a hell of a shot. I think we see him in the rotation, even with Martin back - but maybe 5-10 minutes since not enough minutes to go around. Definitely a good problem for us to have

    Our depth is coming through. Still more on the bench. These kids are staring at something special this year.

    I didn’t see him get smoked, but maybe I missed it. Pettiford did cross him and hit a 3 five feet beyond the line and then had a floater with Klavzar draped all over him. I actually think he played really good defense. His offense has finally become automatic like we were told it’d be. I think he needs quite a few minutes.

    I love Urban’s defensive effort. He seems to stick to his man like fly paper.

    I was actually surprised his D was as good as it was. From what I had been hearing I expected him to be a real liability in that end, but he held his own. He showed incredible effort on D, and that’s a big part of the battle. It’s nice to have someone else we can trust to put in and contribute, not just give the other guards a rest.

    He doesn't get a lot of minutes and isn't asked to do a lot on offense so he can play defense at max RPM. He stays on his toes and keeps his feet moving in short/choppy steps/hops, doesn't get off balance, usually gets over the top of the screen.

    goes 4 of 7 for 10 points. Draws a charge from Fears. Goes coast to coast to score before the half. Has the highlight play in his alleyoop to Brown. He keeps getting better with each game.
