Any updates? I know he came back to the bench at the end of the game, but it was clearly bothering him.

I think someone spotted him at Quiznos with a boot. On his eye. Strange.
Where are the internet doctors with all the answers?
Are they afraid of HHHIIPPAAAAA?
Marquette had a live video on Intsagram after the game and coming off the court Sam said his eye was fine when someone asked.
I heard Chris Otule was spotted at the airport. Being flown in to mentor Sam on how to play with only one eye.
a minor corneal abrasion will be healed in a couple days, but if its bad he will need further treatment / ointment etc and be walking around with a patch for a while.

Is it true that sitting in a dark room watching porn all day makes it heal faster?

But I thought that might lead to actions that could cause you to go blind?

Yes, but you may need a boot for other parts
My wife, while watching the game last night, pointed out "Wow, his eye is really red!"
You're welcome!

This thread made my day.
I sustained an eye injury during a soccer game that, according to the eye doctor, could have caused permanent blindness. I took a ball right to the eye from point blank range. I don't remember many of the details bc I was in middle school, but my treatment was literally play videos games and watch tv for a week. I wasn't allowed to read, go to school or play sports that week. Actually, I wasn't allowed to play soccer for several weeks, which sucked. After that ordeal, eye injuries always make me cringe. I hope Sam is okay.

I'm probably going to regret this, but what is your beef with HIPAA? You've brought it up a lot this year.
I will give him my eye
My wife and I are big fans of The Handmaid's Tale.
While Sam stepped to the line to shoot the FTs, she said: "Under Sam's eye."
To which I, of course, responded: "Blessed be the Warriors."

I had to pick up my 6yo at school this year. He got something in his eye and couldnt open it. He said he flicked a piece of paper in art class and it went in his eye. Usin a flashlight I was able to see a horizontal line over his cornea! I got into our eye doctor that afternoon who made room to see him. Luckily he was a patient on their books or I got the impression they would turn him away. By the time the doc looked closely - a few hours after the incident - it had already sealed over. He put some oozy stuff on it but said it was already healing and would be fine by the morning. Deeper cuts require more goop and perhaps a contact lense to cover and allow it to heal so it doesnt become infected.
Moral dont get a paper cut in your eye.
As I watched the replay I was hoping Sam didnt catch a finger nail that could do some serious damage.
New nickname: The Pirate!
Obviously Sam is Thor and Joey is Loki not just because they're brothers, but Sam has already proven efficient without the use of his eye, and nobody really has Joey figured out yet.
Wasn't sure if Markus was Tony or Steve. Sometimes he lets being the hero go to his head, and sometimes his physical talent just leaves you dumbstruck. But given that Wojo is the legacy of greatness who was big back in the day and has now has focused on assembling the team and becoming a mentor, that obviously makes Markus the Captain.
Theo is obviously Bruce since he's always smashing the ball with no shortage of (or concern for) collateral damage. And that's a trade-off everyone's willing to live with.
Sacar must be Natasha... he looks so unassuming, but turn your head for a split second and he'll cut and slash you so fast you won't know what happened until your decapitated head is lying on the ground. Also, he is not infallible, but he knows it and seems to be using it as motivation to get better.
Chartouny is Peter (either one). He's been "the guy" in his own neighborhood the past few years. Came to the team with that invincible, wants-to-do-it-all kid attitude but is slowly starting to see that his contributions are exponentially greater as part of a team, not as a lone wolf working inside a team setting.
Greg is Clint. People seem to be forgetting about him because he's sitting this one out. But something tells me he's going to come back as a badass no one is expecting.
Ed is Drax. Like the Hulk, there's collateral damage wherever he goes, but he's one of the strongest guys on the team and the intimidation factor alone is enough to cause the opposition to alter their plans. And if it wasn't against NCAA rules, I'm convinced he'd paint a '30' on his back and play topless.
Brendan is T'Challa. The reluctantly mature son of an inspirational leader who spent a couple years of soul-searching and in self-reflection before joining the team. And capable of greatness.
Jamal is Scott. Funny guy. Comes out of nowhere, makes a huge impact, turns a bunch of heads, but before you can launch your counterattack, he disappears again. But something tells me that this guy is going to play a huge role - more than anyone expects - in April.
Matt is Groot. Tall, seemingly harmless, and it's hard to tell if that twig in his hair just landed there or is actually part of him. Played a much bigger role early on, yet has had to reinvent himself lately. But probably the most fiercely loyal on the entire team and more than willing to absorb damage when needed.
Ike is Heimdall. Perpetually in the background, watching everything that's going on. Commands a tremendous power whose applicability in different settings needs to be explored.
Cam is Wong. Knowledge is his main contribution, though they do let him fight once in a while.
Koby is Bucky. Groomed by a former foe, but is quite powerful in his own right and can be counted on for major contributions after he finishes a mandatory rest period.
Tommy is Eitri. A big dwarf whose specialty is engineering.
Mike and Buddy are Hank and Xavier. They wear the same brand, but not yet part of the universe.
Impressive, Benny.

I had one and saw double for about 4 days.no long term effects other than comments from various Dr.
Another time I got hit in the eye and it resulted in a bubble on the retina causing light flashes at night for months. Finally healed but I could have lost my sight. Now ware glasses. To high a risk and not a laughing matter.

Sat right behind the bench last night, overheard the coaching staff being told his vision is blurry and he wasn't cleared to return to the game when he came back to the bench. And that ends anything I know about the situation.

Thanks for the update! Good news for sure.
Likely just a scratched cornea which takes 2-3 days to heal. 1 of our dobermans scratched my cornea last month and it hurt like hell the 1st day but after 3 days was back to normal (although I still wouldn't have made 2 out of 2 at the line).

One of my buddies scratched my cornea with a stick when we were kids. He was trying to knock some ice off the downspout and hit my eye. Burned like hell whenver my eye was closed. Had to have the doctors put some special dye in my eye to see where the cut was. Most pain i have ever experienced. Took about a week to recover back to normal.

That brings back memories.
I heard Sam has already undergone surgery to have a bionic eye implanted. This will improve his vision to far above human norms. It features a 20:1 zoom lens, a built-in video camera (useful for film study) and advanced recognition and targeting capabilities.

Speaking of which , I wonder how many years it will take for AR to be to the point where there has to be a rule against it... (in any sport). Could make baseball and football more interesting!

Buddy of mine and I sat down over several beers a couple of months ago and figured out how you could implement a HUD(military's had AR for 40 years) in a QB's helmet. You could easily project something like route trees pre-snap to make the defensive reads easier.

Similar experience. Scratched it playing basketball. Pain was off the charts.
HEY, stop that, someone could lose an eye.
Heard from a source Sam turned into Sauron he is now going to be a bad a$$.
Can you cut your cornea from being poked through the eyelid? You could clearly see a mark on Sam's eyelid where the nail poked him so I don't think there was any contact with the eye, "just" they eyelid.

He's moving well on defense. Just a bit off on offense. Don't read too much into it
Butler is doing a real good job crowding the shooters without fouling. Sam is one of them. They have really extended their defense and MU havn't figured it out yet.
I was lucky enough to be on the floor tonight, and at the end of the game, when Sam came around the perimeter of the court with the rest of the team, I asked him how his eye was doing.
He said it was good.
