figured. this sucks. damn damn damn

well this puts a damper on today being friday.

Not good. We really needed Moreira against Harrell of Louisville. He is a load. Time for Ben to step up

Luckily we have depth with Ben Moore and Cannen, but damn this really hurts. Could be back by conference tourney time

Yeah it's nice to have depth this season but this is still bad. Hope it's more on the three week side.

This sucks.good thimg we have depth though. We would have been royally screwed last year

Not really. He played for a different team last year.

This is really bad. I know he hasn't been having monster games statistically but his length is a huge presence especially on the defensive side and is our strength (especially in AAC play). I don't want to be overly dramatic, but that might have put any chance we had on going to the tourney in jeopardy. I like Cannen a lot, and I think he's solid but we need those fouls too. We will struggle with him out especially against the top tier in our conference.

Yes on both counts.

On the bright sides at least the injury happened where we are especially deep. If it happened to certain members of the backcourt, we would really be screwed, so knock on wood.

Hope he heals up quick and is back sooner rather than later.

terrible news at a bad time to start conference. ouch. Cannen & Ben better be ready to play for long minutes.

Yeah, I agree. It's nice that there's depth, but it can get real thin, real quick. Don't want to rely on a freshman to shoulder the load down low either, that's for sure. But Ben has done a tremendous job

I really think Cannen can do the job also. He just needs to be more assertive. He's got his chance now.

Too bad. Moreira had a good game against UConn. He was stronger and more deliberate with the ball than previous games

I take it this slots Kennedy in to the starting lineup, and increased time for Cannen & Ben
