Expects a full diagnosis tomorrow afternoon.

Also said he didn't do a good job regrouping after Chris left.  Said it took him until the next media timeout to adjust the game plan.

brewcity77

Seeing him walking around on the court after the win was a huge relief. Here's hoping it's nothing serious.

RyanConroy

I would take him being back by January.

Lacrosse218

I know Otule has had foot injury issues in his past, but was curious if anyone knows if he has had knee issues ever in his history? 

Praying he is only out a few weeks with a sprain....

+1 .... might end up being a positive if it can get Gardner more playing time pre-conference.

I thought that was a good sign too but then a friend of mine said you can walk around on an ACL tear.  Is this true?  Any doctors on the board?

What a coincidence it could be though against Vandy. They gain their big man just in time, while our is out.


That wont be fun.

I am not a Dr., but have heard that to be true.  You can move forward, it is the change of direction or side to side that creates problems.

Hoping a strain and not a tear.

Oldgym

Having blown both of mine, yes, you can walk on a torn ACL.  Even run.  But you cannot move laterally - not effectively, anyway.

Hoping for the best for CO, but will be holding my breath until Weds afternoon.  Sucks to see this happen.

RyanConroy

ACL tear was definitely my first reaction when I saw it.

Him on the bench during the second half seemed like a good sign. Not sure if that's misguided hope, though.

MUFan42

I'm dealing with a ACL tear now. Have surgery coming up on the 29th. I tore mine playing basketball and was able to walk very slowly the first few days. Then after swelling went down it's pretty much pain free, unless i make a cutting motion. Seeing Chris walk off the floor he was def walking better then how i was 2 hours after i tore mine. Then again the MRI's are what will be the answer.

Please, please someone tell me Chris will be back this season. Finally, the curse is busted and the blueprint that has been followed so many times for crushing MU losses (opponent takes lead in final seconds, MU botches last possession) has been broken. I want to be so jacked up about this game but I can't get away from the injury... So even if you're lying, someone just write that Chris will be back soon.

Can is one thing... but I feel like if they were concerned about an ACL tear, they wouldn't have let him walk around.  He most likely would have been immobilized, on crutches, etc.  And likely in considerably more pain than he seemed to be expressing.

Yes, but I would expect if the doctors at all thought it could be an ACL they'd have had him on crutches, at least as a precaution.  Fully expecting a mild sprain, 2-4 weeks.

Yours and PVMagic's comments are excellent observations.  As you mention that, I was also surprised to see him at the spot in the bench where he sat.  I would have thought he would have been further down and away from the action if they had serious concerns.

Hopefully it is not the rose colored glasses I am using ...

It may finally force him to get his conditioning seriously in order.

Are you a Doctor or did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night?

Thanks for the feedback - cautiously optimistic!

I've had an ACL tear before so I know a little bit about it. Mine was a little unique because I only tore the ACL, all my other ligaments and cartilage were fine. I tore it playing football and felt a pop and my knee just felt kind of weak. I actually played a couple more plays before I realized that there was something wrong and took myself out of the game. There was very minimal pain after the initial tear, and the real pain came up later that night when my knee swelled to the size of a volleyball. It seems to me that all ACL injuries are different as far as an initial reaction depending on what other damage is done to the knee. We really won't know anything about his injury until they take an MRI.

Not a doctor, but I know way too much about the ACL.

I've blown 2 acl's.
The first, playing basketball.  Extremely painful, no weight on it for days.
The second (other knee), skiing.  It ached, I skied down the mountain.  Walked ok the rest of the day.  Woke up with a volleyball for a knee the next morning.

What I'm saying is. without an MRI it is hard to tell.

Best Wishes Chris.

94Warrior

And, Boozeman is right.

The painful knee had a torn ACL, torn meniscus, and chipped bone in the joint.
The aching knee that I skied and walked on, was just an ACL.

mr.MUskie

People saw his knee buckle and kind of jump to the conclusion that he blew out his ACL.  I've buckled my knees over 100 times between both knees, and after every surgery the doc has shown me pix from the scope of my intact ACLs.  Of course my ligaments were like stretched out rubber bands.  Sometimes it took 2-3 weeks before the limp went away.  Sometimes I was back in the game after a 15 minute break.  One game I buckled it 3 times before I decided to call it a day.  Ya gotta play with the small hurts.  So hopefully, Chris will be back soon.
