Didn't see him at all.

He was on the bench suited up.. strange.. if he lost his spot to Harris that is a mistake. But since he didnt see a minute in a game that was out of hand, have to figure it was injury related.

Per Jim Meehan:

Cook has been battling a leg injury since Virginia. Played through it the last two games, but still bothering him.

Just saw on Twitter (KREM reporter) that Mark Few said he was injured during the Virginia game. Upper leg. And he tried to play through it the last two games. Battling through it, but it hasn't improved.

Next two games verse Santa Clara and Portland.. rest him up and get him 100%

I totally agree, we have a deep bench. If Aaron needs rest, let him rest. No reason to panic, we are on our regular Thurs / Sat schedule now.

Few says Aaron Cook got banged up in the Virginia game and that it’s been bothering him but he’s tried to play through it. Upper leg injury. Few says they need to get an x-Ray on it.

Aaron is a great player and we need him. Here's to a speedy recovery for him...

Harris and Strawther will develop into great players but Cook is far and away the better guard option and team player. His D, experience and humility will be key for Zags if/when they ever get a shot at Baylor.

Harris sure looks to be all about getting his shot when on the court, particularly during mop up minutes when all bench players are in. Understandable for an alpha frosh, I guess, but far cry from the beautiful passing and off ball movement we see with our veteran littles and Suggs.

Harris performance is actually humorous. Like the little kid at the dad softball game, earnestly but selfishly trying to impress his elders. Straw much less so. Astonishingly, Few seems humored as well. The rarefied air, maybe.

Terrible Trio is a cute but errant collective term. Suggs is a top 5 now and Harris and Straw will be four year players.

- do not like the suggestion of a needed x-ray, that is not the typical diagnostic tool for a soft tissue strain injury.

- and in 2-3 years it will be like gold to have them, perhaps like a bell, pangos, ayayi, kispert, pendo, hart, and so on.
- always best to have mix of upper classmen, transfers and one and done's on the team.

My exact thought when I read that.

Dom needs a bit more time to get acclimated to the college game. A bunch of freshman have to endure those growing pains.

As a UTEP season ticket holder in the 80s, I saw Tim Hardaway go through those same pains. Just like Dom, his talent was obvious. I saw all I needed to see from Dom when he dunked over James Wiseman on ESPN his junior year.
