So my gut said AT would play. But a good friend of mine who when to high school with AT talked to him on Saturday and AT told him his back felt really bad. This tells me there will be no AT tomorrow unless something major changed between Satruday and Tomorrow night.

From this morning's(2/21) Journal Sentinel...
Injury update
Senior forward Adrian Tigert, who sat out the 72-63 home loss to Missouri State on Saturday because of an injured lower back, will be re-evaluated today. No official word on his status is expected until today, assistant athletic trainer Dave Beine said Monday.
Beine declined to comment on Tigert's status until he got a chance to brief Jeter, and he said that would not happen until today. Jeter has stated repeatedly that he does not comment on injuries.
"I haven't talked with Rob yet," Beine said. "I'm doing more things today so we'll just talk tomorrow on (Tigert)."
Tigert, who did not practice Monday, has been hampered by the injury since the Feb. 11 victory at Cleveland State. He played sparingly Wednesday in the overtime loss to Illinois-Chicago before sitting out Saturday.
Beine did confirm that junior forward Kevin Massiah is out until the Horizon League semifinal game March 4 because of a strained right calf.
If it's this up in the air, I'm assuming that he's still being bothered by the injury quite a bit and as evident during the UIC game, I think UWM is better off having AT sit out if he's not 100%.

I think it may be a mistake to play him.
From two fronts, you play him, because you need to win to still have a chance to have the tourney at home, and the other is you don't play him because you NEED him for the conference tournament.
My wish is that he sits out again tonight unless he is 100%. I don't want to risk hurting him for an extended period of time.
We could always pull a UIC and come in and beat the #1 team at home in the conference tourney championship. Just a thought.

Either one of two things is happening...
1. AT is anxious to play and asking for the re-evaluation
2. The coaching staff would like him back for tonight's game.
It is just strange that nothing has changed with Massiah's status, but it has with AT. AT's injury seems to be the more serious one (I am no doctor). I don't think he is going to be at 100% for another game this season, but if we can't get him as close to it as possible I say we sit him.

I'm supposing that AT's injury is much less serious than Massiah's.
They're only talking about Adrian's more because he is the anchor of our team.

I dont think it is that it is more or less serious than Massiah's, but rather one is a back injury while the other is a leg. Massiah's is clear cut it sounds with it being a strain. No running or jumping for x days, then light running...etc. While a back injury is, ok it hurts today then tomorrow it may feel fine until one wrong turn and it hurts bad again. Hence the wait and see approach with AT. The likely just no clue what it will feel like when he wakes up today or how he might respond to contact in pre game.
Just my take from personal experiences.

Tigert won't be playing tonite. This team really lacks without him.
