He is their most talented player. Not sure how he averaged 9 points in less than 20 minutes playing in that style.

Huge loss for them, he was a difference maker. One of few players on that team who can get a shot for himself. I was contemplating moving them into the final four, don't see them making it without him. After Guy and Hall, he was probably their third most important player.

Sucks to see an injury like that possibly shake up the tournament.

At least they will have an excuse this time for losing in the round of 32.
