Am I the only one who thinks this will only sway one game... maybe? It might only effect the Michigan game. I think we win out in Non-con and the Michigan game was leaning towards us and now it is ever so slightly leaning towards Michigan.
The only way I will feel less awful about this is if McGary is also out for that game.
Optimist here... He just injured it yesterday. His knee is probably flared up or swollen today. The trainers could be projecting 4-6 weeks as a caution. Michigan is over two weeks away. He could be back. Maybe?
Uh...how about if we just go ahead and win those games?One thing of note, the committee does take into account injuries. So if we take care of business in the games we should win even without Ejim, it shouldn't effect our tourney status. Even with Ejim we can afford to lose to Michigan and BYU. Auburn and Northern Iowa are going to be important non-conference games. Games that we should win, but will be more difficult to win without Ejim.
Well ****...
You serious Clark? Besides Michigain, we play AT BYU, UNI (on a neutral floor), Auburn and maybe Iowa in that timeframe. It's a huge, huge blow to an already inexperienced team.
BYU ain't as tough as you think. I don't see them being a top 25 team like most people but I am in the minority. UNI should be easier than you are making it out to be. Auburn ain't that good and Hilton will be on fire for Iowa and I don't see them being amazing like the rest of Iowa seems to think.

Am I the only one who doesn't think he''l be back near 4 weeks? My guess is 6+.
