JLew's Injury?

[MuggsyB]

Any idea how it's progressing?  I still don't understand why he played after the injury.

[tower912]

He told Wojo he thought he could go.  He was wrong.

[mileskishnish72]

What IS the injury?

[IrwinFletcher]

He told Wojo he thought he could go.

Doctors cleared him to play.

Didn't work out well.

[brewcity77]

Been off for a bit, we built and early lead and didn't need him. Might as well give him one more game and almost 2 more weeks by sitting him.

I'm quite sure the staff defers to the medical staff as opposed to the player.
They should not have let him play.
As you often say Tower...Freshmen being freshmen/they are young. I don't think this was Justin's exclusive call to make.
However, this is consistent with your protection of the head coach.

Given that the season is lost anyway,  I wouldn't be surprised if he was done for the year as a precaution.

MU taking advantage of the 10 day break. Extra rest. Why push when you can be sure?  He'll be back. MU didn't need him today.

[MU82]

Justin's injury sucks, for him and for the team.

Also sucky: Oso's injury. This would have been a great opportunity for him to get some meaningful PT. He'd have made a ton of mistakes, but it probably would have accelerated his learning curve.

I feel bad for both young men.

per the radio call of the game yesterday, Homer indicated MU trying to find an opponent to fill the gap. (anyone know why the Gtown game is off?)

Gtown plays Feb 20, FEb 23, Feb 27 and March 2.  That is why.  Not sure when Gtown could fit it in. 

[MU82]

FYI, there is an entire thread dedicated to what game we might be able to fit into our schedule.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Gtown plays Feb 20, FEb 23, Feb 27 and March 2.  That is why.  Not sure when Gtown could fit it in.

If MU needs another easy win they could always schedule Bucky for a return match.

[WarriorPride68]

Doubtful but would be nice to have Lew back for UNC bigs

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I wouldn't hold your breath. While scheduling the UNC game appears to show that they still want to fight to the bitter end, I don't anticipate them playing Lewis or Oso again this season unless they are told that there is no chance of worsening the injury. Maybe if the improbable happens and we're one win away from a tourney berth and the reinjury risk is low. I think both are done for the year.

Did he re-injure it in the game he played? Or should he have never played in the first place? I don't remember how long he played, but seems like quite a long time to be out if he was close enough to play and didn't re-aggravate.

[Dr. Blackheart]

JFL is questionable for UNC. Oso and Tommy are OUT.

[Stretchdeltsig]

Lewis makes us a lot better.

[BCHoopster]

What's wrong with Oso?

[Galway Eagle]

What's wrong with Oso?

A slight gust of wind caused him to shatter.

I kid of course, he has a leg injury suffered during practice is my understanding.

[We R Final Four]

And some scoopers thought he was the second coming aina?

Who?

[We R Final Four]

82—you're on here more than most everyone. You can figure out who thinks Osa only needed an opportunity.

And all of em thought he'd be a star?
