"He did get an MRI last night and it showed no structural damage. Chad (Newman) will tell you. I tell him every day, you don't have to give me a medical report, I don't care. I'm going to coach who is out here. I don't look at it. You come out and tell me something, I'll listen to you. Whoever is out here we're going to try to get ready to play. I know that if Zakai could've gone, he would've. Igor came in here today, he did everything he could to get enough fluid in him. He want to try, but he couldn't. The way we handle it with those guys, once you get into conference play, you're going to have ups and downs. You're going to hit some bumps in the road. You don't know what they are but you expect them. It's how we respond to them. We talked about it last night, this is a chance to respond to a tough situation."
