From where I was seated, it looked very awkward in regards to his knee. There was no one around him, so it wasn't a collision. He received a pass and landed to turn and head to the basket and he dropped. There was a collective gasp when he went down, then pretty much silence. Standing O as he was helped off the court, which was great.

I am not a DOC, , Sorry, but doubt it. I have seen this happen TO many times. Just the way he grabbed his knee, shows me he was in INTENSE discomfort. Hope this is not both MCL and ACL ala Shaun Livingston.Originally posted by Big Mike View Post
Really hope you are right Tornado!!!!!!!!!!!
Not to overlook the fact that Will is a great person, but our offense just flows better with a big athletic, defense minded center, who can score. Without him, we seem to struggle.
He came into the Richmond game and we played considerably better, and won.
Tonight we looked awesome, until he went down.
However, my thoughts and prayers are with Will as a person.Comment

Just back from the game. First and foremost, GET WELL WILL EGOLF!
I havent been able to see this team since the exhibition games, but imo, with Will Egolf in the lineup this team has a swagger to it. I am not one to make too bold of a statement, but from what I saw tonight, with Will in the lineup, we have a real shot to win the MVC!
AS for DC, all I have to respectfully say is that we need to get AT some minutes

I am not saying by any means that he is going to be cleared to play anytime soon. I still think regardless of how he feels that he is going to be out for a while. This is nothing like high school where you play through the pain, we need him for conference.Walk on, Walk on

Yeah...I'm sure most of you know this but just because it doesn't hurt and he's walking around doesn't mean it's not an ACL.
In high school 3 of my friends tore their acl's 4 times (yes between the 3 of them) and two of them said that it didn't hurt and were walking on it the same day. They got their hopes up and needless to say were very disappointed when they found out they would be missing entire seasons.Comment

That's true, for all we know, he could of fractured something also. For those that didn't see it, in addition to other people's description of it... Will went down, grabbed his knee immediately and slammed his fist on the floor 5 times. He didn't attempt to move his leg/knee after he went down. I think, even with a negative MRI, he'll be out for at least 2 months. Has to get healthy and then into game shape. Playing in Jim's run and gun offense takes longer to get into game shape I do believe. Tough break for Will though, he was really starting to step up and was proud of himself for it. Always like to see the guys work for a starting spot and then succeed. Either way, someone is going to have to step up, that person I would like to see is Taylor Brown. He's been on that ball every minute he plays, just needs to work on his defensive sets a tad bit.

Here's Wessler's blog post about the game. Pretty good writeup and offers some interesting stats about Taylor Brown which further signifies my hopes of seeing him starting at center next Sunday.
