IU OVER unc POST GAME THREAD

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,048]

OGs injury is really a critical injury. I think we can beat Butler but everything will be tougher. Hopefully we get him back for UofL because we need all the size and athleticism we can get for that game.

DeCourcey's article on Knight missing last night once again beating a dead horse.

Or, in Knight's case, a dead a$$.

Is there an injury update on OG? Looked like a pretty bad sprain. Maybe even a break.

I said after the IPFW game that Crean struggles to takeaway the opponents strength. Crean, staff, and players did exactly what they needed to do in this game. They shut down unc's ability to fast break and second chance points. That wasn't a fluky win due to Assembly Hall. IU got on the glass and actually out rebounded an elite rebounding team. IU got back in transition and jumped on the ball handler early out on the perimeter. These things were lacking in the IPFW game. Congrats to Crean and staff.

Per CTC today; high ankle sprain; no timetable.

That's a little longer recovery.  See Rob Johnson last year.  He struggled with that toward the end of the B1G season.

OG will miss the next 2 two games per the notification that came across my phone.

Certainly good news but doesn't mesh well with how badly he looked on the court or CTC's high ankle sprain diagnosis.  Typically, high ankle sprains have a lengthy healing time.   We certainly don't need anything injury related surfacing in our basketball program on the heels of today's news.

Already a bit of a backtrack from his original tweet although admittedly he did say 'at least IU's next 2 games'.

OG Anunoby is basically out indefinitely. Indiana will just see how the ankle responds. No exact timetable for a return.

Does not sound to bad. I bet he's back be big ten play.

Out indefinitely is never a good sign

Also doesn't sound good. It's indefinite. Will keep my fingers crossed for your timeline.

Blackmon was out "indefinitely" last season. 

[AKHoosier 6,608]

Robert Johnson had the same injury suffered against Purdue on February 20, and he returned March 17 against Chattanooga playing 24 minutes.

That's almost a whole month.  He eventually re-injured that ankle if I'm remembering correctly, so he may have been brought back too soon.

I know all injuries are not the same, but I'd feel better about him not re-injuring that ankle if he's held out until maybe the Louisville game.

Yea, RJ was not the same the rest of the year.

Like I said he will probably be out a month. At least this happened early in the season

To be fair, we had a very small.sample size of Rojo being back as season was pretty much over. OG will have ample time to get back into form. Also, it just didnt appear his ankle injury looked as bad as Rojos. Just my 2 sense.

Completely different injuries. Lets not get rash here. OG is a freak athlete and likely to recover just as fast as most. Id say a month.
