With selections over, will we get more info in McNeal?

[NavinRJohnson]

If he is in fact out for the year, or at least the next week or two, will they be more specific about that?

If he's not, all the better, let's get him back on the floor and shove this 8 seed up our opponents' arses!

The Golden Eagles were still without Jerel McNeal, a second-team all-Big East selection who averages 14.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.6 steals. The sophomore guard injured a thumb in practice last Friday and didn't play in the finale against Pitt or Wednesday's win against St. John's.

"We anticipate having him back and no longer being an assistant on the bench," Crean said of the conference's defensive player of the year.

I've already seen that, but on the eve of tournament selections I didn't really put much stock in it (apparently neither did the committee).

I expect that we will hear much of the same until our season is done.  Let our opponents prepare for both scenarios.

I'm fine with that.. heck I'd even suit him up just to keep the opponents guessing all the way.. any rule that says that they must announce him as out before the game?
