Not being able to put any weight on his right leg denotes a very serious injury. Wouldn't want to speculate at this point, but don't count on much, if any further contribution this season, from Markus.

I literally talked to 5 other PTs last night and couldn't come up with anything definitive.  It's all speculation at this point. He could have been at the hospital last night because centurylink doesn't have an x-ray.

If you would ask me, I would much rather see the Howard fall than the Rowsey play from earlier this year.

Exactly. Tough to say watching the video.  Maybe no Xray, or maybe no definitive finding on XR and needed more advanced imaging. At first I thought it was the landing, but after watching again my guess is something is torn- looks like injury occurred when he was launching?

I don’t think so. It pretty clearly looked like a lower back / tailbone injury. And they announced it as a hip injury. I don’t think it’s a leg ligament injury.

Potentially. Just looked to me like he was injured on the way up based on the way he started moving, not the impact. Regardless, we wait.

The way he was moving was because of Kyrie Thomas pushing him in the lower back.  Put him off balance, and couldn't try to avoid the contact up top by Hegner. 

Kind of like low/high hits in football.

Agreed! It would have been easy to tweet out at halftime last night, "news from the locker room, we think we can frustrate Creighton with a 2-3 zone and bit of full court pressure!" to keep us fans happy - but we don't need Creighton knowing that.

Reminds me, as an old timer, of the outrage among the public when George Allen kicked the Washington Post and other press out of the Redskins practices en route to the Super Bowl.

The players are all given a very long detailed medical questionnaire, along with various other disclosures for health insurance etc This packet contains various release forms relating to health. Includes things like sickle cell anemia and other matters.  Of course that does not mean the school will release this information.

He is the leading scorer in the Big East.  His status will affect the line for the St. John’s game.

So go ahead and say nothing and encourage an unscrupulous bettor to bribe someone in the Al to get inside info.  If the line is set wrong, assuming he is out when he is not, it will worth it to slip a grad assistant a few hundred for a text (or Snapchat so it disappears).

Haven’t we seen enough betting scandals around college basketball?  Why do we need to open ourselves to another one?

How about season ticket holders trying to sell their tickets?  His status could affect resale price.

And to answer all the nerds that want to impress that they can properly spell HIPPAA.

Just call it an “injury” and give a preliminary status to his availability on Wednesday.  That’s all. Details are not important, his status is what is important.

Why do you think the professional leagues have injury reports and list how much time a player will be out and a “disabled list” to allow replacement players?  All of this is driven by an desire to keep betting sharks from bribing people in the locker room.

Currently their is no line for St. John’s/Marquette on Wednesday, should come up later today.  The sports books will note expectations in the line (like “No Howard“) so if that expectation is wrong, the line is set incorrectly.

Those that bet incorrectly on a line are punished by having to spell HIPPAA.

With one obvious exception (now two, if you're including yourself), I don't think most people on this board consider correct spelling a negative.  Not sure why you've got a problem with people who actually know how to spell HIPAA.  I work a lot in healthcare, and find the typical misspelling a very useful indicator that I'm dealing with someone who either doesn't know what he or she is talking about or is sloppy.  However, I've never encountered anybody who is aggressively proud of the fact that they don't know how to spell it, or contemptuous of those who do.  As always, Heisy, you're an interesting case.

Just read this ...

Seems while you are all laughing at the idea that college sports can be corrupted by betting, despite it long and numerous history of exactly that happening, there is a move to legalize sports betting nationwide (including college) and this has the NCAA very worried that this will affect the integrity of college sports.

So when nationwide sports betting is legalized, and Potawatomi has a big book (including online) on MUBB, should the MU SID continue to take his time to spell HHIPPPAAA correctly rather than getting the info out about the status of the Big East's leading scorer out ASAP?  (again, the specific alignment is not necessary, just his status to the team) The ruling is expected by summer and this could be the case next season.

Again, this is not about letting up an advantage to the opposing team, this is to make everything transparent to keep betting sharks out of the locker room.

I don’t think anyone was laughing about the impact of gambling on college athletics.

Hey mods do we have a resident psychiatrist?

I don't think we need one to give an accurate diagnosis.

True story, I thought it meant "lots of love" for way longer than I should have. And I'm a millennial.

I also agree with J5 that no one was laughing about the impact of gambling on college athletics.

There is no such a thing as useful inside information.

Tips are highly over rated, just food for stimulating the gross at the book.

O.K. here goes.

What is our game plan?  Will it work, how will it be influenced by their game plan.
What is their game plan?  What is their contingency plan?
How will the game be called?
How many days rest has either team had? 
How do we match up against them?
Which team is more motivated?
How about the learning curve.
Are their any big spenders betting the farm on the game?

The list of variables are endless, therefore, insider information is a joke.

I know we love mega-data, algorithms, spreadsheets, and model's, but the game will still be played and the touts will sell their tips.

I'm sticking with my thesis that nobody over 30 should use LOL. Maybe not even anybody over 19, but I don't want to be unreasonable!

LOL!!

Seriously, can you believe what people who use that acronym find funny? They'd probably choke to death on real actual humor.

It's not as stupid as the using the "laughing so much I'm crying" emoji for everything, which I read recently is the most popular one.

I am grateful that the Scoop PTB severely limit the emoji choices.

I sent my wife a three word text today followed by eight emojis.  You have no idea what you are missing.

Did the emojis include the eggplant? That’s ZFB’s favorite!

A thread about an injury to our leading scorer turns into a debate over who can use lol, whether it should be all caps, and the downside of emojis.

God, I love Scoop!

That's not even counting the stuff the mods deleted.
