Nicholson’s eye injury status?

[WestCoastWildcat]

That was a pretty bad eye poke Matt received early in the game, it did not look good when they showed shots of Matt sitting on the bench. He was not able to return to play. Has anyone heard about the status of his eye injury and when he might be able to participate in practices and games again. How serious is his eye injury and what is the prospects for recovery?

I was going to say the same thing. His affected eye seemed to be discolored when they zoomed in on him. I’m concerned. And UCLA has a very good big…

My question is why was there no review for a flagrant foul especially with Matt flat on his back for 3-4 minutes?

Because it is a double standard for the known teams and the up and comers

known teams and the up and comers

Ironically, we are ahead of Ioa this year and finished ahead the prev 2 years

IA is not really in that "known team" category. If it was a blow to the head, pretty much the definition of a flagrant one, even if it is not intentional,

It must say something about the priorities of the NCAA rule makers, when an accidental kick to the nuts (Leach) is an automatic flagrant, while a vicious swipe to the face that nearly blinded Nicholson is not even reviewed.

Yup the groin never actually injures anyone yet the penalty is absurd. And they are usually acccudental. Except for the Indiana groin kick, which was purposeful, and they didn’t throw him out
