  • Official Bradley release regarding Jeremy Crouch's injury

    PEORIA, Ill. -- Bradley junior guard Jeremy Crouch (Pekin, Ill./Pekin H.S.) will be out indefinitely after suffering a sprained right knee while going for a rebound in the closing minutes of Saturday's 85-78 Missouri Valley Conference victory versus Evansville at Carver Arena. Crouch has proven to be one of the most-improved players and deadliest shooters in the nation through the first half of the season. After averaging only 4.6 points and making just 15-of-62 (.242) 3-point field goal attempts last season, Crouch is Bradley's leading scorer this season at 16.4 points per game and he has ranked among the nation's top 3-point shooters all year by draining 47-of-95 (.495) attempts from behind the arc through 14 games. Averaging 3.4 3-pointers per game this year, Crouch has quickly climbed into a 10th-place tie on the school's career 3-point field goals list with 108 and he is currently on pace to shatter the school's single-season record of 90 treys set


    Out indefinitely.

    The report says very little about the injury. Just calls it a strain. That sounds kind of minor. But to say he's out indefinitely sounds more serious. I hope he stays out and gets healthy. This team will miss JC, but we did OK when Daniel Ruffin was out, and I feel sure the other guys will step up.

        So you doubted me, Mike?

        I think the estimate on how long JC stays out will depend on
        his progress if he stays off his knee.

          That is still better news then I heard yesterday of 4to 6 weeks; a strain or bruised knee will heel faster then one that needs any kind of repair.

            I think 4-6 weeks is still what should be expected. There's been nothing by the paper or the university to dispute that. Prepare for the worst, and be happy if it's less than that.
            Onward and Upward!

              I look for AW to step up his game in JC's absence! We will be OK!

                  I'm not hugely worried, we play as a team, this is not like having Cellus or POB go down in the stretch run last year, everyone plays scores. Just gives AW more time to learn on the court.
                  My only concern is making sure he doesnt try to come back too early and end up like Dotzler at CU.

                    Well.............


                    crap.

                    When you play a 4 guard rotation, you can lose one, but now you're going to extend the starters' minutes. Fatigue could be an issue at some point, even though we have the depth, on paper, to handle this.
