This doesn't seem good.

noooooo!!!!

Get better soon.

Mihailo, time to step up!

Why does something weird have to happen every year?

 

[From the cheap seats]

Welp, that changes most everything. Especially on the defensive end.

 

[AnnoyedWithGarza]

Hopefully, that Mihailo mini breakout was a real breakout. Brandon Lee, step up if we need a defensive-minded player?

We will see how tough the rest of our players are. Going to make Purdue on Saturday, an extremely difficult game.

No no no no

Morez broke his hand Feb 15 and returned March 13 last season. So likely looking at about a month.

Snake bitten

Effing practice man.....

Indeed, we are facing a tall task without Boswell against the Boilers and Nebby!!!!! Damn just wow I wish we get through a darn season without a major injury!!!!

Hasn’t something like this happened in practice the last few years? The kids are going hard at practice, so stuff like this will happen sometimes, but still annoying.

Live look in at Illinois Basketball Practice:

 

[Birdus]

It's funny how fast things can change overnight. Likely to knock us out of conference title contention. I think we have to go with Lee and Petro right? Both of them bring a different game.

Snake bitten

I don't think a snake bite would have caused broken bones. More likely a horse bite.

noooooo!!!!

My thought exactly.

But in the long run it may help provide a proven spark to change up the line up when we hit a bump.

Hope it's not season ending, the run until mid February is brutal (3 underdog road games)

20 year old senior goes down, time to turn to the 23 year old freshman.

Consider me not overly concerned that it is "season ending." We are a remarkably deep team. Boswell is a big hit, but we've shown the ability to mix and match scorers this year. Bigger question will be what happens to the defense, which was only just recently starting to find its sea legs.

Brings back memories...

"I like Randall game"

 

[Leelnd]

Not great at all. However, it will be nice to get some of the other guards experience in case we need them down the stretch.

My hope would be February 10th?

Doesn’t help in the immediate obviously. But use this as an opportunity like we did with Domask.

Get Petro and Lee more involved and find a way to make this a positive.
