They were tauting the student section he whole game, then dipped out in the second half when we started winning. We started chanting **** the track team at halftime.
That's why I said just the basketball team. For example forever **** their football team.
When I was in High School a doctor thought I had Marfan's syndrome. They immediately pulled me out of gym until they got it figured out. I had to go to Mayo and go through a couple days worth of tests. Ultimately they concluded I didn't have it. It was kind of a weird experience.
I feel terrible for him. I never had a problem with him as a player. He seemed like a good guy.

IIRC, there was a story a year or so ago about CFH doing exactly that for another player.
This makes me so sad. The Baylor dunkfest in the NIT has provided so many laughs. Good for Scott Drew and best wishes for Isaiah.
That kinda what I meant by my orig post, he may not e able to as former athletes cannot receive benefits, etc.
I agree with othe posters, Scott Drew has been classy to us lately and it is difficult not to cheer for him.

Poor kid. Luckily, with his diagnosis, he can prevent serious complications or sudden death.
Sidebar: I work in genetics, and it's surprising the diagnosis took so long. Detached retinas are a sign of Marfan. And it's not height alone that makes one suspicious of the condition...it's body habitus. People with Marfan syndrome have different proportions.

By doing that interview he is probably saving someone else's life who will see that and get checked.
One test they do to check is to fold your thumb into your fist. If it sticks out the other side it is representative of those who have Marfan's.

after reading the article and seeing that the "gangliness" and detached retinas are both signs........I'm pretty shocked that no one caught on to this much earlier. Someone was watching out for this kid that he hadn't had any problems so far. Seems like a nice, smart kid. Best of luck to him.
You guys aren't very resourceful. He's a Finance major.

For what it's worth, only one poster said that, and several have already posted that he is a finance major.
