Wichita State at Memphis Pre-Game Discussion

[Kel Varnsen]

You can't really risk a more serious injury in this situation by rushing a key player back, I think they're making the prudent move. How does this change the Shockers' game plan?

No, I get it. I'm just a little surprised he's not coming back. It doesn't change our scout much.

We've had our ups and downs this season, but at least we're not Memphis. From having the #1 recruiting class with high post season aspirations, to basically not having a realistic chance of making the tournament, they have had a far more disappointing season than anyone else in conference--and arguably in CBB.

Thats nothin. You should see the Northwestern game thread in the baseball forum.

The best drama I've read in years.

I'm sure it will be up for several literary awards.

Agree the season is almost over. A knee injury is not something to jack around with.

Anyone hear an update on Fernandes foot? Would be nice to pair him with a hopefully refocused Sherfield at PG.

[AZ Shocker]

Hoping Fernandes won't need surgery in the off-season.

Not that it means anything one way or the other but he wasn’t in a boot at the SMU game.

They’ve said a number of times that it’s a severe bone bruise. Unless it’s been misdiagnosed or they’re lying, he just needs to quit playing for a while, give it a rest, and quit re-injuring it for a while. It shouldn’t take surgery.

Will be at Memphis game with my son. Sure would be great to see this team regaining that killer road instinct

[Guest]

I will be at the game as well. I hosted a Memphis fan for the game here and he is returning the favor. Sort of a quick and expensive trip, I'm really hoping for a win so I can go home happy!

If (when) we win, head to the floor immediately after the game... there's a good chance you'll be invited to celebrate with the team and other fans in the locker room.

Didn't TE mention it wasn't the same foot that sidelined him for 9 weeks? Completely different injury.
