Vander Injury

[TallTitan34]

Its the end of the game and he's still limping pretty bad.  Hopefully it's nothing serious.

[brewcity77]

Good sign that he was walking around and never went to the locker room. Guess he might sit against UMBC and be back for Florida, or UW at the latest.

[tower912]

Hyper extended knee?    Pulled groin?    Ugly looking. 

[JoBo2756]

Yeah, I let out a huge sigh of relief to see he was walking after getting carried off the court. Hopefully he's OK. That court seemed slippery because Jamil or Lockett slipped like 2 minutes later.

Sounds alot like what he kept hearing about Gardner last year after the Nova game
"Doesnt look bad, probably be good to go for practice in a day"
"You know it wouldnt hurt to sit him out just one game, we will kill DePaul anyways"
"Just one more game couldnt hurt, we got this tourney thing locked up no worries"
"Give him as long as he needs if that is until the Big East Tourney thats fine"
"The Big East tourney dont matter, as long as he is good to go for the Real Tourney"


I hoping for best but expecting the worst, we always have a big injury like this especially when he is just getting into a groove

Gardner walked off the court after Nova last year, wasnt back for 5 weeks

[tower912]

I predict he doesn't play against UMBC.   Earliest we can hope for is Florida.  

[jsglow]

Way too early to predict but I'm sure it started to stiffen up as he sat on the bench.  Certain MRI.

[jsglow]

Let's also remember that DG carries 300 pounds.  Big difference.

I predict South Florida

[WellsstreetWanderer]

He'll be doing the Samoan Slap Dance before you know it

True

[KenoshaWarrior]

He'll be doing the Samoan Slap Dance before you know it

You mean that dance that Every Mountain West Football team does?

[real chili 83]

Slap a little poi on it and he will be fine.

[Bocephys]

Now we patiently wait for BigDaddy's diagnosis.

[KenoshaWarrior]

They are already starting the "Gardner" game on the other board

"Vander will be in next play"
"Vander luckily is walking around"
"Vander would be best to sit for UMBC"
"Sucks that Vander will miss Florida"
"Let him rest till Wisconsin"

His status keeps getting worse as the minutes pass

[downtown85]

Buzz just said that the doctor doesn't think it is his ACL.  Need to do some tests to make sure. 

[DavantesInferno]

Looked like either a hip or groin. The knee didn't look that awkward when he slipped.

[madtownwarrior]

well cool, now we can switch the board agenda from LW hating to Vander injury speculating...

[WellsstreetWanderer]

YES

[TheButlerDidIt]

Looked like either a hip or groin. The knee didn't look that awkward when he slipped.

Knee was being iced.

[KenoshaWarrior]

Yes the knee was being iced.  And he left the game 10 seconds before the buzzer

[JoBo2756]

Knee was being iced.

His knee looked horrible.

This is good news ... these boards are never right about these things.

[TheButlerDidIt]

He actually went through the handshake line.
