Does anyone know how Tigert is doing, I am ashamed to say this but they looked so good against Detroit that I forgot that Tigert was injured and that he wasn't playing. Hopefully he is healthy for Saturday.

From today's SportsWatch on JSOnline:
UW-Milwaukee senior forward Adrian Tigert attended practice Tuesday but did not participate in full-contact drills. Yet Tigert has managed to stay busy in hopes of returning for the Horizon League semifinal Saturday night at the U.S. Cellular Arena.
"There are a lot of pool workouts and the treadmill," Tigert said. "I'm doing some stuff on the court but as far as being back to full speed, I haven't done anything like that."
The 6-foot-7 Tigert has missed two consecutive games and saw limited action in a third since injuring his lower back Feb. 11 at Cleveland State. Tigert, who was named second-team all-Horizon League on Monday, had been the team's primary post scorer and rebounder this season, averaging about 13 points and eight rebounds per game.
Senior forward Joah Tucker, a first-team all-Horizon pick for the second consecutive year, said the team is coming to grips with the fact that Tigert may or may not be available. Nothing specific has been said, Tucker added, but the senior-dominated Panthers are counting on each other to fill the void.
"You don't want to get used to it, but you have to adjust," Tucker said. "We lost two games when he first went down and it was tough playing without him, but you've got to move on, and you've got to play. We just can't lose all of the games because he can't play. We'll just be ready to play with him or without him."

Do we know the status on Massiah? I didn't watch the last game so I didn't know if he was still hurt.

Massiah did not play in the last game either. I think he is currently in the day-to-day club with AT.

Massiah's leg is still hurt. AT has been sitting out as a precaution, it is still possible for him to play, albeit painfully. Massiah has been definitely out for the past few games.
Hopefully we get both back for Saturday at 100%. Personally, Massiah has a lot of impact, giving Tucker rest early on.

He rarely turns the ball over or takes bad shots. He's a pretty good defender and he's a great 6th man. UWM missed him greatly against UIC and Miss. St. |

If Tigert is 75% or better, he has to get in there. There is no tomorrow anymore.

I would be shocked if AT and Massiah did not both suit up and play Saturday. No way will AT allow his career to finish out on the bench

Anyone who has ever met Adrian knows he couldn't live with himself if he didn't do everything in his power to get back out on the court.

I hope you're right Jimmy. Like I said if he's 75% or better he has to be on the floor. I can't imagine he hasn't made significant progress since UIC, which was over two weeks ago. My guess is he'll be out there on Saturday.

Massiah told me on Monday that he's playing this weekend.
Also, according to panthers6thman, Tigert was running ladders with the team and doing other drills today.
