Transcript

00:00 >> Charlie right here with Nick Kelly.

00:01 >> Yeah, Grant Nelson exit the game, I think it was the second half.

00:05 Do you have an update on his status?

00:06 >> Yeah, his left leg and really with the score at the time of the game,

00:12 they decided to start treating him on Friday night.

00:18 Try to get him ready by Saturday, he should be good to go Saturday.

00:21 They put his own left leg injury that needed some treatment.

00:26 So they just started, I just put the way the score was at the time.

00:31 >> Wait.

00:32 >> Yeah, Coach, with Pringle out today, you saw more from Stevenson and Waukee.

00:37 What did you see from them and how you got their play in the class?

00:40 >> Yeah, I mean, Waukee, he had some good counter points.

00:44 He had five offensive rebounds.

00:46 He had three blocks, he did a decent job protecting the rim.

00:51 I thought he gave us some good minutes.

00:52 He's got a shot six of six in the free throw lines.

00:59 He did a lot of positive things.

01:02 Had some areas he could improve as well.

01:07 He had a few fouls in there,

01:08 maybe missed a couple defensive rebounds he needed to get.

01:11 But I was happy with him.

01:13 Jaron gave us some good minutes too, I hit the two threes.

01:16 And we need to get him to rebound a little bit better, but

01:21 I thought he scored well, he had some tough finishes in there.

01:24 Both those guys 100% in the free throw line.

01:26 So they gave us some good minutes, we could get Nick back against Purdue.

01:33 He had a great practice yesterday.

01:36 He's back where he needs to be.

01:38 I anticipate him playing a decent amount of minutes against, and

01:43 we're gonna need our whole front line against Zack.

01:46 He seems to collect a lot of fouls on other teams' front lines.
