That's a bummer, feel sorry for the young man to have his last season end early. Not to mention the rehab ahead.

Good kid! He will be missed

Got to feel for the guy. Hope it is just a sprain. Means Pardon needs to stop with the silly fouls.

Thanks for the contribution Joey.

Take all the free classes that you can before you head home!

Va Tech and Northwestern degrees... Feel bad for him, but he should be ok.

Shopshire had his final season end prematurely too. The Curse lives on...

I wonder how things would have played out if Olah hadn't been hurt earlier / Pardon was still red shirting? I think it's a fair assumption that you don't burn a redshirt with only a few games left in the season (at least not when you're only fighting for an NIT slot), but then that would've made for an interesting end of the season. I guess maybe Skelly would be forced back over to the 5 spot?

I agree with you, I doubt they would have burned Dererk's shirt with 3 games left......
