Around the Big East

[Mullins Revenge]

Mcl for gillispe.  Done for year.

Makes st johns path to the big east finals much easier if they can get the 4 or 5 seed.

Confirming the worst;

Villanova announces that Collin Gillespie suffered a torn MCL last night vs Creighton and will miss the rest of the season.

Per Brian Rauf 

Maybe someone can correct me, but I've heard recovery is easier but the initial pain is worse than ACL.

I think u r correct.  I dont think an mck is as serious as an acl.

Regarding Dunn, it's pretty obvious by now that we won't get anything from McGriff. Seems way safer going into next season with Dunn and other guys like Pinzon (maybe Blocker) who you can plug in at PG in short stints in case Posh suffers injury in the future. Don't seem likely that a very good natural PG would commit if he watched Posh do his thing this season, so Posh and a bunch of part timers seems to be the way to go.

Don't know what the staff's feelings on McPherson are, but that might be another kid who could be brought in to play some PG. Plus he can shoot, so that's always a good thing around these parts.

Jay Wright: With MCL injury Colin Gillepsie could be healed by the summer, keeping pro options open. No decision on a potential college return.

 

[SJU14]

All things considered, MCL is best case scenario. No surgery required and usually 6-8 week recovery, maybe a little longer to be 100%.

When you tear an MCL it doesnt require surgery?

How many scholarships are allowed per team?
 

Any player who plays this year will be granted another year of eligibility provided that they remain at the same school. Any Senior or Grad Student who under normal circumstances would have used up his eligibility this year and returns next year will not have their scholarship count against the D1 Basketball maximum scholarship alotment of 13.  So as an example, you can have a total of 15 players on basketball scholarship next year if two of thse ships are for players who would have used up their eligibility this year.can return for another year of eligibility provided they remain at the same school this year.  This exemption of the "extra scholarships" is only for the 2021 - 22 season.  Any other player afterwards who would like to use their "extra year" when they are a senior, their scholarship would be counted as on of the maximum 13.

Good stuff, are you positive on the last part? Hadn’t been able to see it and it would seem kind of strange considering their allowing the extra year.

I had found an article on it a while back and posted the link somewhere but can't find it now.  Will look for it and repost it.

Do you think Boston College and Miami are happy they left a Big East? I'm watching a game on TV tonight Boston College is for four and 14  (4 - 14)
Miami is seven and 16   (7 - 16)
and they're both lousy! And we're here we are the red storm over 500 and rolling along with a fune coach A.D. and president and direction.
last time I checked we are still in the Big East and the Big East is still a pretty damn good basketball conference! 
And we have kids who have talent and play play their behind's off LOL

Correct, MCL tears don’t require surgery as they have a good blood supply and are able to heal on their own. ACL’s on the other hand are not able to heal on their own.

UCONN off to a quick 9-0 start against Georgetown. I'm sur when CBS scheduled this as a nationally televised game, it looked good.  LOL!

Now 12-0 UCONN.

 

[Mickster]

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but a g'town loss means we cannot finish worse than 6th, correct?

of course, ideally we win today to avoid the extra game and a tough matchup (for us at least) with DePaul.

With Gillespie out for Nova, and the controversy at Creighton (although there is a possibility that they could rally around that), UCONN has become the overwhelming favorite to win the Big East Tournament, IMO.
