In light of Pardon's injury, I'm really hoping Falzon is healthy enough to play soon. While he is obviously more of a perimeter player than Pardon, he is still 6'8" and can help with rebounding not to mention putting another shooter on the floor. Unfortunately, I have a feeling this is one of those statuses that will go from from day-to-day to out indefinitely.
Falzon
- Thread starter Catdude
- Start date
I heard knee tendonitis from the first game of the season and that the staff was holding him out or severely limiting his minutes until he is healthy. My guess is he reappears in the last non-conference game before the Big 10 season for limited minutes and then his minutes grow in the Big 10 season. We are going to need him against some of the high octane or better offensive teams like IU, UM, Iowa who will want to run and go up-tempo.
As for Pardon, I am praying that it is not serious. It looked like a finger when they showed him on the sidelines in pain when the trainer was finding out how significant the paid was. Hopefully, since it is his non-shooting hand, he might be able to play with a wrap of some type of support brace as previous posters mentioned.

Check out the other thread. He had surgery today and is out at least through the end of 2016.
You know this made me think of the Kevin Wilson firing and the rumors that it had to do with rushing kids back from injury and even in some case it sounds like overriding and or ignoring medical advice. This is really a tough spot for Coach Collins and the program you can see where these coaches get in tight pressure situations,,,takes a tough guy to do the right thing. Must be lose/lose sometimes to do the right thing.
Certainly, and obviously, hoping it doesn't play out this way, BUT, what I've heard (from someone more "in the know" than most of us here) is that we shouldn't expect to be seeing Falzon any time soon. Man, if there's a program out there with worse luck than ours, I'd sure like to see it.

Well, this season there are a couple:
Duke is playing without 3 starters due to injury.
MSU has lost Forwards Schilling and Carter for the season, and highly touted Freshman Bridges is out for several weeks with an ankle.
I think we might see Lumpkin at the center spot on defense occasionally....MIght be interestng to see what they do if they go with a small lineup......Maybe Lindsay posting up more........offensive center out at the top more.....If nothing else will be interesting to see how they adapt. Against some teams like Purdue who is super big might be tough. WHo else has big back to the basket big guys/
