Xavier message board is saying Freemantle could be out for the year with a stress fracture to his foot.

Nothing confirmed at all.

Would suck. I still remember the eerie silence in the BC when Dom broke his foot versus UCONN. You just knew a magical season came to an immediate end.

[brewcity77]

Just want Xavier to beat Providence tomorrow. They can implode after that.

Looks like a Jimmy John's walking boot scenario ....

Haha reading that thread.

We GE03 in tip top form jumping to massive conclusions

Not a single person on there is "saying he could be out for the year" Its literally a bunch of people saying they hope it isnt bad and they have no information at all haha

First thing I thought of too. Hate to see that happen.

Tough to see a board jump to conclusions and fly off the handle. Glad we don't do that here.

The "out for the year" speculation is mostly coming from Twitter based on the message board post, but there were some in the message board speculating a reinjury of the foot that he had surgically repaired last year.

If any of this is true, that sucks for Xavier and that young man.   Plus I would much rather beat them when they're at full strength so I don't ever have to hear "yeah but if Freemantle was healthy we would have won easily" kind of nonsense.  With all that in mind, let's hope it's nothing too serious.

Worst day in MU history.

I'd rather win

Kinda glad we're running into Moore early in his return

Was thinking the same thing. Nova is p
going to build momentum for the remainder of the season, and will be a tough match up in the BE tournament too.

I know that on this board it's hard to separate actual information from some of the stuff coming from the posters who think their sarcastic comments are hilarious. So, take this for what it's worth.

When I saw the story about Fremantle I texted a friend who serves as the official scorer at Xavier's home games. He said that he has heard that they expect Fremantle to be out 3-4 weeks.

Norlander says Freemantle is out for at least 4 weeks (first posted in recruiting thread):

The crowd tried to pick the team up in the second half but everyone was more interested in getting information on the extent of Dom's injury than we were in the game. We could have beaten anybody with our full team that year.

Sucks for Xavier and Freemantle.  Always want to beat other teams at their best.

Door is wide open for Marquette though.  Take care of business.

Definitely a bummer for Xavier. At least they should have him back in March.

[TallTitan34]

Once again Providence has a horse shoe up it's ass as they still have both games with Xavier in the next month.

You as well as a few other scoopers post this fairly often. To be very clear, I never hope that an opponent is injured or ill. With that said, the very same injuries and illnesses happen to Marquette sometimes, so that door swings both ways. I do not care if we get an advantage due to injury or illness of an opponent that may (impossible to prove) have been the reason we won. We could just as easily lose a game due to an injury/illness on our team, but again....that's impossible to prove. 

A W is a W. If we take down Xavier, Freemantle's absence is just too bad for X.

Perfect!

Agreed. Every Big East team has had the good fortune of playing us without Wrightsil who was supposedly going to be a starter level type player according to what Shaka had said earlier in the year.

Agreed but we could also lose to Xavier without Freemantle.  In a perfect world, everyone is all healthy and we still win.

No way, Marquette could not win without Kam, no way Xavier can win without Freemantle...

Why can't Marquette win without Kam?

I filled it out before reading your answers. Same, except swap Nova for DaPaw. They're just so happy I'm there watching basketball during their non MU games. Talk about die hard fans showing up to the Wintrust after all these years of suck.
