Ominous fact for a short bench

I figure everyone is closing his eyes and just hoping that Darrell Walker doesn't walk into a disaster this season because he left two scholarships unfilled. Let me give you one fact that will make you close your eyes even tighter.

Of the eleven scholarship players on the roster, all but five of them already have missed at least two games. Damir Hadzic has missed all of them. Deondre Burns has missed six of them. Only four players, on the entire roster, have not missed any games. And since walk-on Terrell Curtis has played only six minutes, even with the short roster, I doubt he can be counted on for much help.

And that is after only thirteen games. We still have at least eighteen to go. Think we will dodge the bullet? I hope so. But don't hold your breath. You may want to keep you eyes closed.
