Xrays today

You really hate to hear that. I hope he recovers quickly and that the injuries aren't too severe.

And Dwayne Lathan only played 2 minutes last night.

Tough

Definitely a tough run of luck for the Trees with all the injuries. If Marshall is out long, I could see them dropping back to 7th the way the Valley has piled up at this point.

Not to wish ill upon them, because that sort of thing tends to be rewarded by bad karma, but a seventh-place finish for the Trees sounds pretty good. Give me a potential three game card in St. Louis of IndSt, Creighton, and UNI, and I definitely like WSU's chances of moving on to the NCAA. In fact, that may be -- although I can't be sure -- what Nostradamus was seeing when I channeled him with my prediction last night.

Dwayne Lathan is out for the rest of the regular season with two broken fingers.

wow, its just one of those season for Sycamore fans.

No kidding. The upside for their fans is that they have been pretty good in spite of horrible luck with injuries, which suggests that McKenna is doing a fine coaching job and has the program on the right track.

It would be frustrating to be an Sycamore fan this season, but I think they have a right to be more optimistic about their future than they have been in some time.

i seriously cant remember a team in the valley at least, that gets star player hurt after star player.

[Aargh]

We'll never know if this group would have been 3 "stars" on their team in the year they were all hurt. There's no doubt about one of them, but the other two were hurt about the time they might have emerged as "stars".

Graham Hatch
Mantas Griskenas
Matt Braeuer

[WyoWu]

Marshall and Lathan both out 4 to 6 weeks

Hatch was barely a D1 player as a freshman let alone a star. Mantas probably had a chance at one time to be a good player but was probably done by the time he came to WSU.

Marshall, Lathan and Kelley go down for the Sycamores. That has to be depressing for Sycamore fans.

Think what we would be like going without Clevin, Toure and Hatch this year. On second thought, maybe it would be best not to think about it.

Coach McKenna must be wondering what he did to earn the rath of the basketball gods.

Play/coach for/at Creighton. :whistle:
