That’s my point. The kid should have been hit with a F1 at that point. I wish the Big Ten will look at this play and suspend the kid for the rest of the year if Izzo wont.
I broke my nose and had surgery in high school. I'd consider it "minor" and fast. Basically just realigning it. It was in off-season baseball, so I can't really comment on any mask situation as it wasn't needed. Just had one of those embarrassing little plastic things on my nose for maybe a couple weeks. I imagine he's fine to play once the nose is "set" and the swelling is down. Probably just giving him a few days to get the swelling down, mask fitted, and start the healing.
Big 10 office has to hate to see this story getting this kind of play. If stories like this doesn't force their hand nothing will.Here is video of the foul(s)

His return date is unclear after sustaining the injury on Tuesday in a loss to Michigan State.
They were massive until they lost the game vs Michigan State. That eliminated any Big Ten Championship hope. If they drop any of these next two, at that point they're playing for a double bye in the BTT. I'd argue that the biggest game of the regular season has turned into tonight. This would go into the "bad loss" category and would have the way to a very feasible 0-5 finish to wrap up the regular season.
You have no clue how much I hope you're right. I'll be physically ill if we lose.
I have no desire to play MSU in BTT this year. Don’t want a repeat of their thuggery and don’t want any Illini players looking for retribution. Only possible good thing is that refs bend over backwards to keep MSU in line and call it so close that it benefits Illini. But not putting money on that.
More likely case is that the current health risk is related to recovering from the surgery and risk versus reward of playing in the interim.
As weird as this my sound, my initial thought when Ayo walked up to the line for his free throws was, "did he break his nose?" You could tell it was definitely affecting him.
Literally everyone would be. Our star player had his nose broken on a dirty play that's going to sideline him at least 1 game. Win or lose we have every right to be 'pissing and moaning'. Stupid post.No one would be "pissing and moaning" if we had won the game, or if DMW had taken out one of the Spartans with a hard foul, which I kind of wish he had.
The part that sucks is that this guy only plays like 6 minutes a game.
"Asked about the nature of the contest and Josh’s comment on consistency, Izzo mused that “Street fight is a good way to put it...we had an alum down there and he said it looked like our street fighting days."
I pretty sure they didn't call anything, the whistle was because the ball went OB
To put anything on the Illinois medical staff is ludicrous.
Yep. 9 minutes, 3 fouls, no other stats. At least 3 instances of violent actions: hard foul on Giorgi posting up, hitting Kofi's head, Ayo's nose. That's either taught or just his style of play, and he needs to be reprimanded for it. This isn't just chippy, annoying stuff like Griffin and Davison had a bit of a history with, this is dangerous, reckless play. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he is actually trying to hurt people, but he is definitely playing with complete disregard to others' safety.
A lot of cases of players doing very well with masks. Honestly can't think of too many cases where it drastically effects a players game.
