Any Wesley news?

Does anyone know if he will play tomorrow?

still day to day

Yeah there is a link on the dmregister homepage

ISU basketball: Johnson's playing status for Tuesday undetermined | DesMoinesRegister.com | The Des Moines Register
Here's the link. G-Mac wouldn't let him talk to the reporters, but I don't know if that is normal precaution, a good sign, or a bad sign.

I would put my personal odds (no factual information to back it up) of him playing at about 35-40%. I could probably lower those odds and still feel safe about them too. Just don't have a great feeling about seeing him tomorrow night.

If we can't beat NE without Wesley, we don't beat aTm without him.

Ahh, the delightful odor of pessimism.

We're playing at HOME. In Hilton, where anything can happen.

Life offers us few absolutes. Take advantage of the phenomenon.

C'mon...have you seen how A&M is starting to play now? Beating A&M at home, without Wesley is about as likely as beating KSU or KU on the road - especially being we couldn't defeat the Huskers - even though it was a road game.

I'll be cheering loud tomorrow night - but it's certainly not pessimism thinking we won't win tomorrow night without Wes. It's realistic.

It would be a very tall task to win with him. Beating Texas, IMO, is far more possible than beating A&M - especially with our defense.

I think he'll play but be a liability on defense as he was when he was playing hurt early.

Missouri beating K-State in Columbia gives me faith that just about any Big 12 team can lose on the road.

I'll be at home screaming at the TV hoping for victory. But realistically, I've seen aTm play. I think they are better than we are with Wesley. Without him, we don't match up very well. If we win, it will have to be one of those games where we are hot and they are not combined with tight defense.

I don't think I was being pessimistic.

Ditto that.

Direct quote from the managers and trainers... "Wes will go tonight and should be at about 90%."
