Anyone remember last year when they blatantly said they were giving Duke a pass when Coach K was out for a few games. None of those losses mattered.
They usually only do this when the player or coach missed games earlier in the year and is back come tourney time, so to answer your question no.. we won't get a break.
Thoughts and Prayer with Jarrey. He was playing so well this season. Hope he has a full and speedy recovery.
We are going to need Agau to play like he did last game going forward. Probably going to see us playing alot of zone going forward too.

Jerrey should be very cautious with it because how this injury goes likely will determine if he can play basketball professionally or not, as so much of his draft stock is based on his athleticism. If he needs surgery (the report indicated it was only a partial tear) he might need to redshirt all of next year so he can be absolutely fully healed before subjecting it to another basketball season. Huge blow or him personally and for the team.
We will need Douglas and Ray to give us some more minutes going forward.
I am pretty sure most athletes usually do the ACL surgery even when partial tear. ACL surgery time frame is usually 6-9 months from when the surgery occurs. I doubt he would need a full red-shirt season. He is a real hard worker and has rehabbed this injury before so I think he will be good for next year. The real shame for him, besides the injury, is he will be unable to put all the off-season work in. It is rare an athlete needs to miss the entire next season (unless its one of those catastrophic tears like Jaylen Smith).
